Hi @xycron500!
Yes, there is one!

Open the “/home/your-id/.itch/app-26.1.9/” directory in a terminal (right-click) and successively enter these two lines to modify the permissions of the “chrome-sandbox” file it contains:

sudo chown root:root chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox

The problem occurs almost systematically with applications that use this technique.
Sandboxing can be deactivated by adding “–no-sandbox” (with two dashes) to the launcher command line, but this solution is better because it preserves the benefits of sandboxing.

Enjoy your app ! :upside_down_face:

With pleasure.
Let us know if it worked and if you’re happy with the result: I don’t know this app.
