Did you download it via Snaps or Flatpak?
We’re you able to download the game via Steam? And if so, what method did you use to launch it via Lutris? Did you try launching it by accessing a file?
Try looking in: ~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common
I don’t have BG3 installed, but I have had some weird issues when using Steam lately. Have you tried using Lutris to launch the game?
C’mon peeps…this is Linux Gaming (having fun, playing games and looking for help to get our favorite games to run properly). It’s a community focused on information and support - confrontations and PvP should be reserved for “in-game” experiences only ;).
Another update: I installed the game on a newer computer running a different OS, and BG1 is now working as expected.
It’s interesting, I only have a couple of Steam games in my library, but they all respond differently on my two systems - some that didn’t play, now do. And some that worked on the other system, won’t on the new one 🤷♂️.
I ran into the same problem with Steam today, and your post caught my attention.
I had been playing Carcassonne without any issues when I tried to launch it today and began receiving DirectX errors. Trying different Proton versions didn’t work for me either.
I’m running an i7 11th gen on openSUSE with a GeForce RTX 3050 with similar errors to yours.
It seems as though I am stuck in Tutorial prison. I’ve tried the suggestions here, but I’m unable to get anywhere.
I’ve read that other people are having problems with the current version of Steam, so this might be something that gets resolved via an update. Again, thanks for the help!
Thanks. I’ll report back soon.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I actually have Proton running at 8.3 (I’m not at the computer so I’m not sure of that number is correct).
I did try hitting single player first and it sends me into the same loop.
I did think of something that might be causing the issue, and if I’m right, it would be a real dumb ass moment for me 🤪. I’ll check that out and try your other suggestions as well. To be continued…
Everything is moving so quickly these days, and the exodus from other failing sites along with the expectations of those transitioning from them is creating a crescendo that is just unrealistic.
So many people have been working very hard to keep up with all of these new and increasing demands (and they ought to be credited for that), but what is lacking is patience for those working behind the scenes.
They’re doing a great job, but, for God’s sake, give them some slack!
It’s for people who want to keep their network traffic private from say their ISP or other sniffers.
On the desktop, I use Whonix which does utilize the Tor Network. That being said, I rarely use the Tor browser outside of it.
I find myself waking up in an even stranger world than the one I left the night before.
It’s one thing to understand that while surfing the Internet you expose yourself to being monitored, it’s quite another to take a walk around the park and have someone trying to ‘sniff out’ your movement and potentially your identity.
Are there people who don’t really understand the implications of this?
Google and Apple have built out their own private ‘little internet’ by turning the users of their products into their own personal nodes that they have access to and control.
BBM, email and that status light ushered us into a new ‘interconnectedness’. It started the process of making cell phones indispensable parts of our lives.
Most Americans don’t want to think for themselves. They would rather someone else do that heavy lifting for them.
However, it’s important that people have the freedom to reason for themselves and make choices accordingly without some governmental entity mandating a certain thought trajectory. People shouldn’t surrender such fundamental human freedoms to their government.

This is a great point that you bring up. I subscribe to an IRC channel that has bridges to both Telegram and Matrix. My feelings at this point, is that the weakest link is going to be of the most concern. But how all this technology interoperate with each other and how they actually handle privacy/security together is a question I cannot answer.
I have a bad feeling that this will not end well if it’s left to run its course.
What happened to the days when people just took a chance and tried something new and waited for the results to come in? What do they have to lose by giving Mastodon or the Fediverse a try except a certain amount of time and effort? The idea of having to analyze everything and scraping data from user bases before making a decision to freely jump in and give it a try is getting a bit absurd.
I’ve been using eBay since 2007. I just don’t see any benefits to using Amazon over them.
However, I did use Amazon back in the day when they only sold books and I couldn’t find what I was looking for in local bookstores. But Amazon has changed for the worse since those bygone days.
Okay. Do you have Wine installed?
Wine can potentially help resolve the .exe and .NET errors that you’re experiencing.
