Public bug reported: There seems to be a bug when running i386 games using SDL on amd64 Ubuntu 18.04. https://www.gog.com/forum/xenonauts/ubuntu_1804_lts_bionic_beaver_dbus_error_solution suggests installing the 16.04 version of SDL instead as a workaround.
The error seems to be as follows: ./Xenonauts/start.sh Running Xenonauts dbus[9584]: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "path != NULL" failed in file ../../../dbus/dbus-message.c line 1362.
