Are you still having this issue? Would you be able to provide any more logs? Are you running with crashpad disabled from a clean build directory?

[jameskr97]

Please reopen this issue if you are still having this problem. I'm unable to reproduce it, and I'll need more information from your side.

[jameskr97]

Currently, we don't support installing into the system via make install.

It's attempting to use "install" the crashpad_handler because that is a part of how we distribute the game on GitHub Actions.

If you want to build the game, I recommend running the game right in the build directory or moving the binary and game folders into a separate folder (similar to how our release Linux binary looks).
