Wallpaper Engine Background(s)
White Oak (Day/Night)
Console output
Screenshots
It works normally it windows as intended. The example live wallpaper in readme 1845706469 works perfectly fine. Even audio works. Here is the screenshot.
According to the console output it says it didn't find assets folder. I kept it in the binary folder in the readme and putting a screenshot for reference.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
Additional context
I installed wallpaper engine in a custom folder and not where steam regularly installs to save space. However even after moving the folder to the steam default folder, I am having the same issue. Some wallpapers works and some don't. I even installed it from aur and it even has the same error for the wallpaper that is not working.
