Stop, I can only get so erect.
Who am I kidding, I already reverted my machines to Windows 10 ages ago, and haven't had to deal with such bullcrap.
Last week I ditched windows for linux on my last computer.
And yesterday and today have been spent working fruitlessly to mod Baldur's Gate 3.
I cannot for the life of me figure out what's going wrong. So far, I've gotten a grand total of zero mods to work. If I were still on Windows, I could use one of two or three separate mod managers.
Sadly, this new laptop didn't come with Windows 10, only 11. Which was what fueled the drive to ditch it for linux.
Did you check out Lutris for mod managers? I know Vortex is on there and is supposed to work with all steam games.
A little detective work got me to this Linux specific mod manager that targets BG3 and CP2077 - https://github.com/CHollingworth/Lampray
Ah yeah, Lamp. I've not gotten it to work at all.
As for Lutris, I tried both Vortex and the BG3ModManager. Couldn't get either working.
I even tried a straight wine install.
So I've been forced to do mod entries by hand. And even that isn't working, but at least I've stopped crashing the game.
Fun fact about Lutris and BG3ModManager, apparently a recent update to Lutris broke compatibility. I've yet to track down which version, I've just seen posts on various forums from the last few weeks talking about it.
