How do you run OpenRA? I've tried both flatpak and snap and it didn't work. It gets stuck on the first screen asking about downloading content but I cannot click anything.
Just don't use flatpak or snap. I'll bet anything that switching off flatpak/snap will solve all your issues. Just check the downloads page on the OpenRA site and find whatever works on your system.
The thing is it requires some c# runtime? I hoped I wouldn't have to install it system wide.
The flatpak has been working for me on Linux Mint, although the flatpak didn’t work on Ubuntu proper. From what I understand the Mint devs do some extra tinkering to support flatpaks better than vanilla Ubuntu. Have you tried downloading the binary and running it from a terminal?
The Appimage also works well for me on my Ubuntu XFCE box.

I will try the AppImage. I tried it with other games and it worked fine. flatpak sucks.
