Once the installation is complete, right-click its entry on the game list and select Properties. The first thing you need to do is install the game. I've simplified everything to make it easier for newcomers who aren't used with terminal commands and compiling stuff on Linux, as well as anyone else who reinstalls the game and needs a quick workaround for the bug. I have to give credit where credit is due, so my tutorial is based on a tutorial that Pontostroy (Gears on Gallium) translated into English from a Russian tutorial made by Stil on the website ( read that if you're using the r600 driver because I'm using the radeon one). Here's how to patch Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition for Mesa So, I'm writing this tutorial now because it doesn't look like the bug will be fixed, and you'll need these instructions if you want to play this gorgeous game. We chose to only support the official nVidia and AMD drivers,' said one of the devs on the official forums when asked by a Linux user if they plan on fixing that annoying crash on startup with the Mesa drivers. So this being a game bug, not a Mesa one, it should be reported to the game's devs, who don't offer support for Mesa. Attached to the bug report, there are two files, but we're interested in the first one, the simple LD_PRELOAD shim submitted by Thomas J. During all this time, it was marked as resolved/fixed/closed, then it got reopened again.

But first, I'd like to tell you a little background story on this bug.Īs you might expect, there's a bug report on the Mesa bug tracker since a year ago. Now, let's get back to business as I'm gonna show you a very simple way to make Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition work with the open source Intel or Radeon drivers that are included in the popular Mesa graphics stack.

Of course, if you're playing the game with Nvidia GPUs, you shouldn't even read this. I purchased the game a few months ago to play co-op with a friend, but after installing it on my GNU/Linux computer, I could not even start it with my AMD Radeon HD 8750M discrete GPU, nor with the integrated Intel Haswell HD 4000 graphics card. The game won't start and instead it will show you an ugly error that looks like in the screenshot attached in the gallery at the end of the tutorial.

So you've bought Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition on Steam and you want to play it on your Linux gaming rig with an AMD Radeon or Intel graphics card using the Mesa 3D Graphics Library, right? Wrong!
