AterValeo: Hey Ganni: thanks so much for posting this! It worked great for me to get the game working in Linux Mint 17.2 (MATE). However, I have a few issues to report in case you are familiar with any of them (UPDATED 10/11/2015):

1. I cannot start the file via .nwn (it just hangs indefinitely), but I can start the game fine via nwmain in WINE.

2. I have all dependencies installed, but none of the *.bmu music files play in the game, only the music in the movies, sound effects (including background talking in taverns and the like), and voices.

3. I do not get any sound at all until I mute/unmute the entire system with a hotkey...

A. ...after first opening any of the *.nwm modules.
B. ...when starting the game or switching to and from the game when my main desktop resolution does not match the fullscreen resolution of the game. I have no idea why having a non-matching resolution would cause the sound not to function or be muted like that and haven't been able to find anything else on this.

Ganni1987: Hello, can't say I encountered any of these issues. A few things I noticed from your log: You're running those commands with sudo, that's not needed, Try to run it without.

What GPU and drivers are you using?
Without sudo all of the output is the same except the last two lines after "NOTICE: NWMovies: Initialized." do not appear and instead the program just hangs there.

GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5830
Driver: xserver-xorg-video-ati Version 1:7.3.0-1ubuntu3.1 X.org X sever - AMD/ATI display driver wrapper
I've installed your patch in Fedora 23 Cinnamon Spin and everything is running with two caveats:
1. Whenever I launch the game my screen calibration is disabled and it gets very bright.
2. Running the game with primusrun (I'm on an Optimus Laptop) gives the following error:
/home/berwyn/Games/nwn/nwn: line 18: 2828 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ./nwmain $@
and the game crashes.

Any clues as to these issues?

Apart from that, the game works flawlessly, thanks for making and posting this!

P.S. For anyone on Fedora (or I assume any other 64-bit distro that uses PulseAudio), remember to install the 32-bit version of alsa-plugins-pulseaudio as well as those listed at the start.

Hello, unfortunately I cannot replicate that error as I don't own a laptop.

Sorry, wish I could do more.

No worries mate; I'll have to do some digging. I suspect I've probably missed a 32-bit package for the nVidia driver which I've got for Nouveau (or something like that).

I had the same problem that nwn hanged, without any messages or errors.
For me, the open source ATI/AMD drivers did the trick.
I just installed NWN and tried this patch. The game itself works fine, but I'm having trouble with my resolution settings. My X has 3 monitors connected, I want the game on one of them with 1920x1080. In-game, the only selectable resolutions are 5613x1080 and 3840x1080 (no idea where the 5613 is even coming from, the monitors all have 1920x1080). I tried setting the resolution in the nwn.ini, but that didn't do anything, no matter if using fullscreen or windowed mode.
It's been a long time since I last played NWN, but I'm pretty sure that I had it working like this at some point. Any ideas?

EDIT: Never mind, when I disable the third monitor, I'm suddenly able to select everything from 800x600 to 3840x1080, including 1920x1080. Third monitor is just the TV anyway, don't need that all the time, so I can live with this.
