Description
Operating System

OpenRCT2 build
OpenRCT2, v0.5.4 (4a7ee146 on HEAD)

Area(s) with this issue?
No response
Describe the issue
The title sequence freezes for around 20-30 seconds on some transitions.
Steps to reproduce
Install the Flatpak version of OpenRCT2: https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.openrct2.OpenRCT2
Run the game, using Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic for the asset files (I haven't tested with RCT2)
Observe first, a long loading time for assets, and second, a 20-30 second freeze in transitions.
Attachments
I figured the video would probably be too long to upload to github anyways.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Flatpak issue on Linux with RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic assets in a nonstandard RCTC/RCT2 directory, observing the initial load and title-sequence transitions. Compare the behavior across the reported Linux architectures and determine whether the long delays are resolved without regressing game startup or title transitions.
