Hello,

I cant get Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition to install or to save properly on my Linux Mint System. When I use the start.sh script after unpacking the tarball, the game starts, but I cannot save any games - the game crashes then. wihlie starting Icewindle executalte in the "game" folder, the game complains about missing libs - which are in fact installed!
Any ideas how to fix it?

greetings, tom


Ok, the Problem is solved:
my mistake, I manged to solve the problem. First time, I started the "start.sh" script with the sudo-command, because I thought this was an installation.script. Hence, the savgame-folder in .local/share/ had sudo-rights, and the game was not able to save there, when I started it as a normal user. I just hat to change the rights of the folder with the chmod command.

greetings, tom

Hi, I'm trying to install this from Ubuntu 15.04. I downloaded the Tarball but can't seem to figure out what to do even after looking around on the internet for help. Can you explain how you did it?

I got it running with bash start.sh, however is there not a way to install it so it can be run just by clicking the icon?

One word of advice: never give a game root permissions. No game should ever require them to run, and a buggy or malicious game could do a lot of harm with such permissions.

Of course, if you are seriously concerned about security, you could create a special account that you use just for playing games, and use a different account for everything else. (SteamOS does this)
