Long story short: I am absolutely inexperienced with Linux distros but made the switch from Windows a bit more than a year ago. Right now, everyone’s talking about Baldur’s Gate 3, including a lot of the podcasts and shows I follow: since I never experienced the OG games, I wanted to try them out. They were on sale on GOG, and I had previously set up Lutris so that it interfaced directly with it. But the game refuses to start. Every installation method I tried has miserably failed at some point or another, and when it didn’t, the game just won’t boot up (either in Lutris or out of it). I’m out of options and I have asked for a refund. Is the situation with the Steam versions any different?Am I missing something? Help!

    Are they the original versions on GOG and not enhanced? Both have a Linux installer you can download that has always just worked for me, nothing else needed. Just run the install script then the start script and it works.

    I’m using Ubuntu.

      I’m referring to the Enhanced versions, yes. I tried the Linux installer as well, and after correctly installing the game it just doesn’t start. I don’t know why it’s that.
