Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition

Linux Woes

The game is 5/5 I have no doubt, I purchased NWN:EE during the winter sale for a bargain price. I still own the original big-box version of NWN & have probably played, and completed, it more than any other game throughout my entire 25+ year gaming life. What swayed me to buy this version was native Linux support, which is where I spend most of my time these days. And while I do have a Windows install (well, several) would prefer not to have to switch OS's just to play a game. Unfortunately, it doesn't work natively on Linux at all, at least not my distro (Mint 19.1). Installation went fine but the game wouldn't launch. Running from terminal I was greeted with a missing library error, which I fixed and got the game to load only to be greeted with flickering video, poorly resized UI, vertically offset mouse pointer recondition and NO SOUND. So if, like me, you are buying this because of the native Linux version? Beware, your mileage may vary and sometimes the road may completely disappear.
