The RPG Pathfinder: Kingmaker is out today from Owlcat Games and Deepsilver, sadly the Linux version has some critical bugs.
GOG provided me with a key, so at release today I went to download it only to find no Linux download. When speaking to my GOG contact, they confirmed a critical bug was found where the game will completely crash if you try to load a saved game. This is also confirmed by users on the Steam forum. Due to this, there's no ETA on GOG having any Linux build available and I can't blame them for that, this is down to Owlcat Games to solve.
Direct Link
Issues as major as that at launch really do make me sad. Linux isn't a top platform sure, but to release with such a major flaw as that? Seems like it's not the only major issue too, I won't list them all but it's safe to say it's a very rough release.
Shame, I was really looking forward to this one. The way they described the depth of the lore and gameplay mechanics had me pretty intrigued by it.
Available from GOG, Humble Store and Steam. Not that I recommend buying a mostly broken product, wait until they fix it. I will take a proper look when it is working, hopefully it won't take them long to fix.

I also had an issue there when trying to write my characters name, every letter i pressed was doubled on the screen. Otherwise, the game looked great and all the various races/classes/skills/feats were quite interesting to someone like me, who likes to fiddle with lots of detail in character building.
I´ll be moving over to "PoE2: Seeker, Slayer, Survivor" until they get things patched.

It seems the linux build is a bit werid, the ELF is named Kingmaker.exe
Quoting: recioalexOn the steam forums, 1 hour ago the devs said there will be a patch for this on 8 hours "We're not leaving the office until this is solved. "That does make them sound good, but let's remember issues like this are there because enough testing simply wasn't done. Frankly, loading it up once on Linux would have shown them the issues.

That will show them!No. Just no.

That would be pretty cool but its clear CDPR is not fans of Linux gamers. :(
GOG is certainly missing out on sales and I wonder how things will look in 5yrs time when the Linux Gaming Train arrives, maybe...
