I already wrote a script allowing to turn the .tar.gz game archive into a .deb package. You can find it there:

It does not patch your game in the process yet but it is my next objective, and elpc experiments gave me some ideas for a smooth and quick process. Stay tuned ;)

Thanks for creating the patches! It's great not having to download the whole game again just for a few changes (I will probably redownload the whole tarball at some point for archiving purposes, but not while new patches appear regularly).

Sticky would be nice, agreed.

Thank you very much for this patch.Tested and approved.

This is a great community. I like how everyone conducts themselves here a lot. And I'm very glad that this patch hosting, and your tar turned into .deb installer post too. It's made things so much better.

I'm very surprised GOG doesn't hire you to work for them. After getting things setup, I don't have any issues anymore.

Unofficial linux patch tested also here.
Works perfectly following the steps mentionned :)

I don't get the version number. Why 1.1.0.2? Is this the 1.03 patch?

Yes.
1.0.0.1 and 1.1.0.2 are GOG releases (the number in the name of your archive).

GOG release 1.0.0.1 provides game version 1.0.2.508
GOG release 1.1.0.2 provides game version 1.0.3.530

Perfect, thanks.

So, first of all, I love you vv221, this patch works great !

I have a very slow connection, and it REALLY was a challenge just to get the game, so you spare me some hard times, Thanks !
Same idea: slow connection dudes would prefer torrents.

High-speed connection dudes should go with the torrent too: the direct download is capped by my bandwidth, while the torrent is well seeded (15 sources last time I checked).

Thanks to all of you who keep seeding this patch, that’s the best way to show your interest and ensure I keep making them ;)

Maybe because the patch only modifies the files inside de game subdirectory, but not the launch script (start.sh)

Check the first lines of the script where it exports several variables

# Package info
declare -r VERSION="1.1.0.2"
declare -r VERSION_DEV="1.0.3-503"
declare -r GAME_NAME="Pillars of Eternity"
declare -r PACKAGE_NAME="gog-pillars-of-eternity"

If you modify them by hand, make a backup first of the script and your saves, just in case.

Nope, more possible that he made the same error as I. and extracted the delta in the wrong folder.
The game still runs as nothing has happend. But thats it NOTHING to the game has happend.

Xaratas may well be right, seeing as the patch seems to work with most people. Double-check the command you launch (especially the target path), and if it still doesn’t work please paste here the commands you use and the returns you get from the console.

No, the version seen in-game as nothing to do with the start.sh file. Actually everything outside the 'game' directory is a GOG-made layer, and as no visible effect on the game itself.
