Ignore the old build as it will not get supported. Are you running latest pre-release version? Provide more detailed info about your OS, DE, X11 or Wayland...

I had the same problem, I posted a temporary solution here #1361

Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb ./Shadps4-qt.AppImage

Can confirm, I can launch the AppImage on GNOME/Wayland with this. Thanks @Link4Electronics

The current Pre-release-shadPS4-2024-11-10-7ab8515 doesn't have this problem, no need to use the QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb anymore.
