Your issue should be fixed now, you just need to download the updated script and try again ;)

Your previous aborted run might have left a big bunch of files in /tmp/play.it or ~/.cache/play.it, you can delete these directories to free some disk space.

Thank you for your quick response. I had, imediately after reporting, solved my issues by prelinking to two steam library folders with some ubuntu compat layer. I'll try your way later! :)

Hi,

I try to install the game following the instructions, but I get the following message : "Error: libplayit2.sh not found." but the file is in the same folder as the rest, like asked. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Hello, what game exactly are you trying to install ?
I need to know which script you are trying, to be able to help you :)

Have you noticed that there are two files to download from the game page on ./play.it website?
I think you might be missing one of these.

You should have three files in the directory you’re running the script from:
_ the game script (play-something.sh)
_ the ./play.it library (libplayit2.sh)
_ the game installer

Thanks for your replies. Actually, I try to install the last version of Baldur's Gate EE on Ubuntu 18.04 (it worked on Ubuntu 16.04 by the way but I didn't used your script).

So I created a new folder on my desktop. I downloaded and placed in that folder the 3 files that you mentionned plus the archive libssl_1.0.0_32-bit.tar.gz (by the way, if you are running Ubuntu 64 bits, shouldn't you install the libssl_1.0.0_64-bit.tar.gz archive ?). Then I opened the Terminal and typed :

- sudo apt-get install bsdtar fakeroot --> OK

- Then I grabbed and dropped the game script in the Terminal --> there I get the message "Error: libplayit2.sh not found." although it is in the folder along with the 3 other files.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I can't spot what that is (actually I'm pretty newbie in these Terminal things...)

Thanks, I hope I'm clear...

I think the issue is here, try this instead:
_ open the directory containing the script and the other needed files
_ right click in your file manager window, and click the option "open a terminal here"
_ grab and drop the script in the terminal window you just opened

By the way, BG EE being a 32-bit game you need the 32-bit archive for libssl 1.0.0 even if you run a 64-bit system.

Yeah it works much better! But in the end, it tells me :
Installez Baldur’s Gate - Enhanced Edition en lançant la série de commandes suivantes en root :
apt install /home/[...]/baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition_2.3.67.3-gog20146+20180512.1_i386.deb /home/[...]/baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition-l10n_2.3.67.3-gog20146+20180512.1_all.deb /home/[...]/baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition-data_2.3.67.3-gog20146+20180512.1_all.deb

And if I try to copy and paste one of these lines, it says to me :
E: Impossible d'ouvrir le fichier verrou /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission non accordée)
E: Impossible de verrouiller le répertoire d'administration (/var/lib/dpkg/). Avez-vous les privilèges du superutilisateur ?

I must be a total dickhead... sorry, it's newbie's questions.
... and sorry to non-french guys!

You need to use sudo before the command, so it will look like this:
sudo apt install /home/[...]/baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition_2.3.67.3-gog20146+20180512.1_i386.deb …

No problem with "newbie" questions by the way, it helps us to find where we need to work to improve the ease of use of these scripts ;)

Yes, thanks, "sudo" was all it needed but... The installation takes place, as expected... but... in the end, when I launch the game, I only got a black screen (with Baldur's Gate music playing in the back)...

By the way, is there a procedure to uninstall the game? Can't find it on the Play.it website.

EDIT : I just tried to install Icewind Dale and there is the same issue.

You can do it the same way you uninstall software installed from your distribution repositories.
The way I do it is with 'apt remove baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition*'

Looks like a bug related to your video driver, what kind of GPU do you use on this machine?

I do not have access with a machine using Intel powerful enough to run this game right now. When I do, I’ll make sure to try it.

What you migh try is to look for the game configuration (should be somewhere under ~/.local/share) and see if you can force the game to run in windowed mode. Some games have graphics issues that only happen in fullscreen mode.
