can you guys click the patreon link in the "About" window ?

[Megamouse]

And how about "Check compatibility" in the game list?

[snshn]

None of those blue links work for me, same error in the console.

RPCS3: Fatal Error's window with "How-to-ask-for-Support" link, and all the links in the "Welcome" dialog.

I'm sorry, I can't seem to find a way to test "Check compatibility" within game list, don't really have any games, just interested in the UI and the software you're working on.

Same here with rpcs3-v0.0.6-8094-22f61caf_linux64.AppImage. Ubuntu 19.04.

EDIT: Got a segfault dialog playing and noticed the same issue there with the github link.

rpcs3-v0.0.6-8094-22f61caf_linux64.AppImage

Linux Mint 19.1 ( Ubuntu 18.04 based )

Behaviour: Installing game updates then exiting from emulator triggers that behaviour. Result is ; update didn't applied ( at least according to GUI ) at all.

Behaviour: Dowloading compability database also triggers same behaviour. In both cases ; segfault message is only visible when exiting emulator.

[Megamouse]

No one tested the "Check game compatibility" for a game yet

[Leopard1907]

"Check game compatibility" works without problems for me.

Same goes for links at " About Rpcs3 " section.

Things doesn't work ( but no segfaults ) :

1-) Open install folder
2-) Open custom config folder

There is zero response but there are no errors either.

Are you guys running in Wayland?

It would explain DISPLAY not being set, and Qt having problems choosing a browser to open in.

[snshn]

Not me, just plain default installation of Ubuntu Desktop x86_64 18.04.2 LTS + latest updates, which uses gnome-shell under Xorg.

According to https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/01/xorg-will-default-display-server-ubuntu-18-04-lts Wayland's no longer a thing on Ubuntu.

[JohnHolmesII]

That is only about default; someone could still be using wayland if they choose to.
More relevant, I just tried the check game compat and got the same error.

Xorg here as well.
