Error Joining Server Ubuntu 26.04

Hello all. About 20 years ago, I was hooked on this game.

Upon loading the .appimage on Ubuntu 26.04 some tweaks were required to handle outdated libraries.
It will suffice to say that it required unpacking the .appimage and steering it toward current dependencies.
Regardless, the game fires up but requires an extra step LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwayland-client.so.0 during execution so it'll play nicely with Wayland.

Anyhow, it looks good, but upon attempting to join a server I get a failure message with the following detail: "df@tauri://localhost/assets/index-ChKkEAB9.js:17:34283".

I have not yet figured out what is causing this, and thought I may as well submit it as a bug.
Could this be related to the anti-cheat?
If so, could some detailed install instructions be provided to ameliorate this?

Thanks in advance, and I will assist however I can.

Just to be proactive, I'll be testing the use of distrobox and a virtualized instance of 22.04 with libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 and I'll report back with any findings.

Update: No dice. I get the impression that the game is incompatible with Wayland.
