Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems [BUG] BG III fails to launch in Steam on Linux

Using Steam on an Ubuntu 20.04.1 based system, Baldur's Gate III tries to launch but fails.

Installed game, on GNU+Linux, tried to launch it: fail
Opened properties, set to Force Proton 5.09: fail
Opened properties, set to Force Steam Linux runtime: fail
Closed and relaunched Steam, set to Proton 5:09 again, huge download starts again, attempt to launch: fails


Baldur's Gate III currently does not run on GNU+Linux.

I am awaiting Divine Intervention on this. I hope somebody else has success somehow and lets us know.
