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!

    This may be dumb, but if you can run a switch emulator maybe you can play the switch versions? It’d work like a compatibility layer.

      It’s not a dumb idea per se but I’d rather play a version that’s been (allegedly) optimized for Linux computers, like GOG states on the game’s front page!
