I posted this originally on the PoE forum, but got no responses. The installer is a GOG thing though, so maybe this is the better place to ask:

I'm trying to patch from 1.0.6 up to 2.0 and when I just run the script (pillars_of_eternity_patch_2.5.6.9.sh) it asks for a directory. So that's fine, but whatever directory I give it I get an error:

ERROR: Folder doesn't contain any game

The game is in "/home/me/Pillars of Eternity" and I've tried that and "/home/me/Pillars of Eternity/game" and just "/home/me". Same thing every time.

So I tried just extracting the patch myself, but it isn't obvious to me what to do with it. There's a script there called patch_it.sh, which doesn't seem to do anything when I run it.

At any rate, any help would be appreciated.

Almost no GOG patches are cumulative. You need to have all the patches released in between, possibly? use the unofficial patches or download the latest, updated installer.

Well that's the best answer I could have hoped for, thank you. It's not working for me, I'm getting the error that goes something like:

python: ERROR: (rs_file_copy_cb) unexpected eof on fd4
python: ERROR: (rs_job_complete) patch job failed: unexpected end of input
Error 'librsync error 103 while in patch cycle' processing PillarsOfEternity_Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll

Other people in the thread got it, so at least I'm not alone. I didn't see a solution, but I didn't read through the whole thread. At this point I think I may have to just resign myself to re-downloading the whole game. ::sigh::

That's okay. Thanks again.

I guess I’m a bit late for this, but the answer might be useful for someone else…

The "librsync" error you got is most probably due to files not being in the state the patch is expecting them. You can’t use the unofficial patches on a modded game, you need to uninstall the mods first, apply the patch, and only then install the version of the mod compatible with your new version of the game.
