Probably, you need to install also a paksek. For archlinuc there are "simutrans-pak128" and "simutrans-pak64". If that does not help, then the archlinux build is broken. In that case, I recommend building it yourself.

Please tell us if the installation of the graphic packages helped.

It seems that the source download from sourceforge does not include this theme, and the archlinux package has been compiled from this source release, therefore it is missing from the installation.

Anyway, the archlinux Simutrans package is not well maintained. I recommend you to use the simutrans-svn AUR package (if you want the stable version you need to change the revision before compiling), which is done by me. Or even better, install the flatpak package, which is the stable version and will run in any distro the same way. And it is also done by me.

I sent an e-mail to maintainers a year ago explaining how to correctly package Simutrans. But I got ignored by most maintainers. The archlinux package does not include many of the very needed quality-of-life changes such as the "new" music backend (done in 2020). They have only made the minimal changes necessary to keep it compiling 😔

Ok, so I migrate to flatpak. Flatpak version work well

But...
if you want more info about issue then I have some thinks:
1. simutrans was installed to /usr/share/games/simutrans/ but I get:

WARNING: Objects not found in program dir "/usr/share/simutrans/"!
2. I copy folder with game to

3. Last time when I use simutrans(but now don't remeber I instali it from pacman or flatpak :( ) I useed pak192.comic and by hand copy this pak from flatpak to pacman and don't resolwe issue.

Few days ago I cleaned ROOT partytion but HOME I don't changeed, maybe there is some file with some setup but I can't find them. (Or I don't instaled it by pacman, i dont remember)
