skypeforlinux 8.13.0.2 fails to start on ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Updating my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS today also installed a new skypeforlinux 8.13.0.2 replacing 8.11.0.4.

skypeforlinux 8.13.0.2 does not start, I just get a blank with a menu bar. The menu entries are selectable, but nothing appears to happen.

Starting the new skypeforlinux from the command line does not produce any output in the terminal window.

Thanks to @Sleeper9 for pointing to official forum.

Update from @Sleeper9: 8.16.0.4 also works.

  Sadly, I do not have enough rep to post a new answer, but finally, the latest 8.16.0.4 version solved the problem. Try to update now, and see if it works for you too!

If you run the newest skypeforlinux (as normal user) in /usr/bin/skypeforlinux in terminal, nothing happens.
i.e. no output.

If you run it in /usr/share/skypeforlinux/skypeforlinux, you get a Segmentation fault.

But an interesting solution is to run it with sudo, then you can work with it.

sudo /usr/share/skypeforlinux/skypeforlinux

and it should run.

I have also deleted my .skypeforlinux in my home folder. Interestingly you run it as root, but the config are written correctly. Looks like some coding error.
