Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition (GOG)
Trying to get the Windows version of BGEE working on nixos with 2.8.0 and it just fails to run anything or really leave anything useful in the log..

That's not the correct log.
conscious-sapphireOP•2y ago
That might be the reason!

The correct log can be accessed by clicking on the game card in Heroic and clicking on "Report a problem" at the bottom.

I should've known this since I've done this before... sorry. Posting in the next post.
Missing OpenAL32.dll I guess
like-gold•2y ago
Yeah. Either that's a dependency of the game (see if it has a
_redist directory or similar with installers that you can run in the prefix), or it could be a Wine dependency otherwise (see https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/WineDependencies.md ).GitHub

So in the
__redist directory there is a folder called openAL with oalinst.exe inside of it.like-gold•2y ago
There you go. Run that in the prefix (there's an option to do so in the settings page of the game), and that should solve it.

That worked! Thanks.
Is it worth reporting/writing this down somewhere (other than here)?
passive-yellow•2y ago
nope, it will be done automatically in the future
why not using Linux native version of the game (I'm just curious)
conscious-sapphireOP•2y ago
Last I checked, the Heroic launcher didn't work installing Linux stuff from GOG.
passive-yellow•2y ago
could you elaborate? Linux native games from GOG work fine
conscious-sapphireOP•2y ago
I tried with Pillars of Eternity a few weeks ago via GOG and it didn't.
I was told it would be fixed in the "next release" (this was a previous version release) but it still didn't work for me.
Can try BG again now I guess now I know how to get it to work.
passive-yellow•2y ago
you are fine with wine version, I'll debug Linux native stuff myself
conscious-sapphireOP•2y ago
Just tested again and same result - it thinks it should be running wine by the looks of it during install which of course fails.
like-gold•2y ago
There was a bug that prevented intalling Linux-native games. It's fixed in the latest version, though.
conscious-sapphireOP•2y ago
This is using 2.8.0
Is there a later version?

steam runtime should do
like-gold•2y ago
That log clearly shows you're missing a library, probably 32-bit libssl. It also—damn, Linguin beat me to it.

I was going to say that Steam OS is different enough from most other Linuxes that you probably shouldn't re-use a Linux-tagged topic without spelling out hat you're using Steam OS, to avoid confusion. Because, indeed, in your case using the Steam runtime is the correct course of action because a) it's always available, and b) installing the missing library is not a reliable solution because the root filesystem is read-only. </rant>

Im very sorry about that! I assumed the wrong procedure. Thanks for explaining
like-gold•2y ago
Sorry, I didn't mean to come off as chiding. Just something to keep in mind. 🙂
