Fatal error: Could not find core textures

Did you mess with the steam runtime at all, or are you simply not using it (ala Arch's steam-native)?
That error is usually indicative that you've built sdl2/sdl2_Image using their 'dyndolib' crap for libpng (and it didn't work), or libpng support is completely absent in your build of sdl2/sdl2_image.

[SetOfAllSets]

I do not know if I am using the steam runtime, I will check later as I cannot check now. I am using the gentoo linux default steam package.

Are you on Wayland without any X11 libraries installed?
