Linux - Failed to open description file '../../../EotU/EotU.uproject'

Issue:
When running the binary, the user receives the error "Failed to open description file '../../../EotU/EotU.uproject'" (or similar).

Cause:
The usual cause of this is that the user is trying to execute the binary from a path with accents in it, for example, a French speaking user might have extracted it to /home/téléchargements

At present the UE4 Linux port cannot handle paths with accented letters and strips them out (thus breaking all path references in the program).

Solution:
Extract/move the EotU demo folder to another location where the absolute path has no accented letters in it. It should run as expected from here.
