Describe the bug: Attempt to launch om aarch64 ubuntu linux does not succeed. What have failed:

  • osu failed to load acodec-related libraries, as my distribution does not have libavformat.so (and others) symlinked to actual library, only libavcodec.so.58 is symlinked (for a concrete ABI version). Adding symlinks fixes the issue
  • after adding symlinks to avcodec-related libraries errors on video decoding appeared in the log (shown below)
  • osu failed to load libstbi.so (probably due to lack of version compiled for aarch64)
  • osu stalled while loading with 100% cpu load. As runtime.log stops at Loading SocialOverlay..., I guess that it does cause the issue
