Hi, just to let you know, I had the same issue with 1.5 on Elementary OS 5.0 (Ubuntu 18.04.2 based) when downloaded through the Itch desktop app. Wouldn't launch through the Itch launcher, and trying to run it from a terminal gave me this output:
bash: /home/michael/.config/itch/apps/laigter/laigter-1.5-beta-x86_64.AppImage: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Version 1.3 from that download link worked fine, so I went to the Itch website, and downloaded 1.5 through Firefox, instead of the Itch desktop app, and this time it worked!
So the issue might not be with your .AppImage, but with something that happens to it when downloaded through the Itch desktop app.

Hi!

What version of the itchio desktop app are you using?

Versions are:

Butler 15.16.0

I talked to Amos from itchio and he found a bug in desktop app. He already fixed it (how efficient!). He said this:

Build's up! They can open preferences, scroll down, check in "Components" that butler is at 15.17.0 or above (if not, click "Check for updates" and wait).

Then it should all work. Alternatively, itch checks for component updates every two hours.

Thank you. I reinstalled Laighter 1.5 through the Itch app, and it now works :)
