Issues fixed

Game fails to start on Linux

Slay the Spire requires xrandr to be installed. Make sure this is installed on your distro (it isn't by default on Fedora 35 Workstation). Running the program on the command line will indicate an IndexError and something related to Displays, which should confirm that this is the issue.
