I just got the app and faced the same issue, so I tried launching it with Xwayland, and that works! It will break HiDPI since Xwayland doesn't support it yet (blurry appearance), but at least it launches and saves you from having to sign into the X11 session.

I notice that in Player.log, the application cannot even start logging anything, it outputs one line, and that states my screen resolution is 0x0@0hz. Now I'm no expert, but I think my resolution affords me a bit more screen real estate than that.

Anyways:

To launch Asset Forge with Xwayland, you need to set the following environment variable: SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11
Example in a terminal, from the Asset Forge folder: SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 ./Asset\ Forge.x86_64

By the way, thanks Kenney, this app is super awesome!!

Hey!

Thanks for a response, but sadly I've already tried that and it did not worked for me :(

But you gave me an idea. I've just searched if its possible to use x11 gtk backend on wayland and its possible! I just ran this command:

GDK_BACKEND=x11 ./Asset\ Forge.x86_64

And open file dialog works.

Thanks!

Awesome, well done!! Glad it worked. My solution might be specific to my setup, I'm on Arch Linux with KDE Plasma.
