Preparing myself to Pillars of Eternity 2, and to give a second round to the first one plus experiencing the expansions for first time, I decided to install the game again on my PC. Only to find out the installation crashes, the installer deletes the folder created for the game and leaves a bit in the limbo.
The error thrown by the installer is somethings around these lines "Fail to crate directory" or "The Directory failed to be created" or similar. Only a "OK" button is presented and after clicking on it another prompt appears stating all the changes done by the installer will be deleted. I didn't take a screenshot but could do tonight if that helps.
Do you know where could I check some logs to see where the problem lies?
I have tried changing the path of the installation to not avail. Also gave a go with different GOG games and they install and launch correctly. Went to GOG to check for some support, I know Debian isn't but thought they could mayeb help somehow, and selecting the OS asks me to run a script to get some reports. The script is also deleted after the crash so don't hav a way to achieve this.
The game worked in the past, probably under Debian Jessie though.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks!

Are you on sid or on testing? I might try PoE by myself if I've got some spare time.

I am on Antergos but I can try to download and install the game to see if I encounter any issues myself.

The main game files is the "output/data/noarch" folder. Everything else can be deleted.
Expansions can also be installed the same way, simply unzip the installers and merge the data from the "noarch" folder in the main game.
I do run it from commnand line and the only output that I saw, although I might have missed some, was a GTK module from having my locales in en-gb instead of US. I'm on Testing, freshly installed over the weekend. Ok, will post a pic when I get home tonight.
I thought gog installers didn't need any special permissions. I believe the only thing I did to that account was adding it to the sudoers group with the visudo command, probably did something wrong in that case xD
I like this as well, will try if no more optiones available ^^
Thanks for the prompt replies :D

Gog installers lately install everything under ~/GOG Games i think. Do you have enough space on your partition?

That's something I'd also like to know :)
Sorry guys, I got home almost at midnight yesterday and didn't have the time to post the screenshot. Will do today.
I was installing in default directory and also tried on my home folder under a different directory. As I mentioned, other gog games install just fine in both locations. I don't use sudo to run the script and if I recall correctly I have around 200GB free on that disk.
Might be a Matrix glitch xD
Thanks for the help!
