Running Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition

Working Directory For Game Install Is: /home/username/Games
Working Directory For Your Resources Is: /home/username/.local/share/Neverwinter Nights
Could not divine nwn base data directory. Have to give up.
Make sure you are starting the game with your working directory setto the appropriate platform directory (i.e. <GAMEDATA>/bin/linux-x86) ("username" being your own username), then this will fix it:
Edit the start.sh and change the line
./"bin/linux-x86/nwmain-linux" to the following TWO lines:
cd bin/linux-x86
./"nwmain-linux" The game should start normally then. Strangely, this is the only change to the start.sh from the former release. I don't know why they changed this, as it breaks the game!? Hopefully, Beamdog will fix the new installer soon.
That said, I also would be nice if they'd release non-Galaxy (aka "offline") patch files instead of only a full install file, as they did for the Windows version.
Dear Beamdog, thanks for supporting Linux, but please treat it with the same level of regard as the Windows version!
Thank you, but I tried this, and it just launched with a message about a fatal error instead of not launching at all.
. That workaround solved it for Windows. What about Linux?
