I cant get Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition to install or to save properly on my Linux Mint System. When I use the start.sh script after unpacking the tarball, the game starts, but I cannot save any games - the game crashes then. while starting Icewindle executalte in the "game" folder, the game complains about missing libs - which are in fact installed!
Any ideas how to fix it?
greetings, tom

The libraries: Some libraries are included with the game, when you start it using the start.sh script it loads them with it and as such the game runs. On the other hand it doesn't run when you try to run the executable directly from the 'game' folder because the start.sh script contents aren't active.
If you still wish to run from the game folder though, create an empty file in the 'game' folder and add the 3 lines below:
#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="../lib"
./IcewindDale
Savegames: on my end it's working fine, saving doesn't crash the game in both the normal game and the expansion. Can you run the game from the terminal, try to save, let it crash and send me the terminal output log.
my mistake, I manged to solve the problem. First time, I started the "start.sh" script with the sudo-command, because I thought this was an installation.script. Hence, the savgame-folder in .local/share/ had sudo-rights, and the game was not able to save there, when I started it as a normal user. I just hat to change the rights of the folder with the chmod command.
Greetins, tom
