Pillars of Eternity - GOG Version
Using NixOS with Heroic 2.7.1 (as supplied in the nix-unstable repository) and trying to get PoE working.
The Linux version fails to install (attached log). noted that not working on current version
The Windows Version seems like the working directory isn't set right? It cannot find
PillarsOfEternity_Data (I've verified it's there) - again, the log is attached.6 Replies

The Linux version (of anything) not installing is a known bug which will be fixed in the next release.

Ok, that's good to know. Then I just need to figure out the Windows version issue!
Is there a way to ensure the working directory is specified correctly?
And by Windows version, I mean running it via Proton on Linux

It looks like the problem is one of case. There are both
PillarsOfEternity_Data and PillarsOfEternity_data directories, and Wine only exposes the first one, which only has one file in it. If you merge the two directories together the game runs.
Or at least it does for me. Typically using Proton in discouraged, and you should rather install Wine-GE from Heroic's Wine manager.
I wonder if gogdl can do something about this, make sure that it never creates two path elements that only differ in case when installing Windows games.yappiest-sapphire•3y ago
I understand there was some work to handle that inconsistency in case, but I think it was too slow and I believe it was not finished

yeah, it will be done at runtime and not preprocessed

Thanks, I'll give it a shot (I may not be able to until Monday)
I had a quick moment to test, and it seems it works. I guess this is due to Windows not differentiating case but Linux doing so. Thanks for the help.
