Hello

The 2.6.0.11 Linux installer does not provide the libraries required for BG2: EE, so the game cannot run.
2.6.0.10 is working fine.

Hi hickop,

The libraries were removed from the game package to assure they won't provide conflicts and work with the latest Linux distributions. Please install in your system the libraries mentioned on the product card (https://www.gog.com/game/baldurs_gate_2_enhanced_edition). If you're using Ubuntu or derivative, the command to do that is:

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libasound2:i386 libasound2-data:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libjson-c2:i386 libopenal1:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libssl1.0.0:i386 libexpat1:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxau6:i386 libxcb1:i386 libxcursor1:i386 libxdmcp6:i386 libxext6:i386 libxfixes3:i386 libxinerama1:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libxrender1:i386 libjson0:i386

Thanks.
Did not know it was intentional.
I know Archlinux is not supported but for those in my case, I was only missing libjson library that can be installed with lib32-libjson package from AUR.

Hi there,

I'm facing a similar issue. Running Kubuntu 16.10 and when trying to install the dependencies provided on the BG 1 & 2 EE store pages, I get:
E: Unable to locate package libjson-c2:i386
E: Unable to locate package libjson0:i386

What are my options here?

Hi redeye_game,

Sorry for the late response.

The problem with libjson libraries is a result of having them replaced with newer versions in Ubuntu 16.10 release.

As a workaround (not confirmed, but should work) I recommend downloading and installing manually these two libraries from Ubuntu official servers, in the given order:

http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/j/json-c/libjson-c2_0.11-4ubuntu2_i386.deb
http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/j/json-c/libjson0_0.11-4ubuntu2_i386.deb

The commands to install these packages are:

sudo dpkg -i libjson-c2_0.11-4ubuntu2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libjson0_0.11-4ubuntu2_i386.deb

And, obviously, you also need to install all the libraries listed on the game product page.

On Archlinux if you have trouble with libssl.so.1.0.0 and libcrypto.so.1.0.0 you need to install lib32-libopenssl-1.0-compat from AUR.

Hi linuxvangog,

thank you for the reply. I got the same advice through your support-channels in the meantime and can confirm that this works. :)

I'm having the same problem with all the infinity engine enhanced editions in Debian Testing and Fedora 25. I discovered a little workaround to make the games work under Debian, but it's such a shame that the OLD libraries do not come included in the game packages.

I know that the game is only supported in Ubuntu, but I bought the games (BE:EE, BE2:EE and ID:EE) because I've never had a single problem with GoG pre-packaged games.

Hope that this problem will be solved soon.

Thanks. Works perfectly on Ubuntu 18.04 in August 2018

I have saved the necessary libraries in my game install archives, for future use
