hello, I am trying to install knights on an arch linux x64 laptop with kde plasma 5.13.5 whereas it installs ok I cannot get the engines to be recognised as installed in the app itself although they show up as there. I have read that knights needs to be compiled/installed within the KDE directory, is that the case? thanks

update: I compiled knights but it crashed upon starting the game, below the crash report, any thoughts?

thanks
