Hey everyone!
I'm new to the Linux world of gaming, but I have a lot of experience on Windows machines. Initially, I tried running Painkiller and Medal of Honor using the PlayOnLinux app included in the Software Center, but I ran into installer issues with the new gog installers, so I axed that for binaries compiled specifically for Ubuntu.
I downloaded BG, ran the installed, and have shortcuts on my desktop. When I click on any of the three installers, my CPU cycles go up, but then immediately back down, and I get nothing rendered.
I ran into a forum post about a similar issue (https://www.gog.com/forum/baldurs_gate_series/games_wont_launch_in_linux), but following those instructions didn't help. I did install the packages he's referring to, but when I start from terminal, this is what I get:
user@laptop:~/GOG Games/Baldurs Gate The Original Saga$ ./start.sh

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
