I would never upgrade without doing a backup of my system so I could revert back. I assume you did not do this?

Under Arch it hasn't dropped to Stable yet, so unless you are running the testing branch, you won't have to worry. I think it took 5.27 two weeks or so to get to the stable branch after its "release," so you are probably looking at early to mid March. By then, we should also have Plasma 6.1 drop, ie, updates.

Just an update on this, Patch 5 was released and it was a huge update. Once again, even the developers recommend downloading the whole game again with Patch 5 included. To my knowledge, both Fitgirl/DODI are still offering outdated versions. You can get the latest game + Patch5 on 1337z by IGGGAMESCOM, works well for me.

 

As of this writing, Baldur's Gate 3 updated to 'Patch 4' with a lot of changes. Unfortunately, those changes mean there will not be a standalone 'Patch 4' to update your game. The developers made a lot of changes to the system files, thus not allowing the ability to create a update patch. You will have to download the whole game again with Patch 4 included.

As of this writing, Fitgirl/DODI have not updated to this version. The only torrent one I know of is a Steam version on 1337x by IGGGAMESCOM; full game w/ Patch 4 included.

Just to note: Patch 4 has broken a lot of mods, and has a few issues of its own. Also, from reports here, it breaks Vulkan on Linux. User beware.

Reddit 2.0...already migrating off this censorship.

You can use LASIM app (Windows/Mac/Linux) to migrate your profile and settings to another instance. Highly recommend.

There is no linux version. Steam/Valve has been updating their proton versions to work with BG3. I would recommend using their 'proton experimental.' If you buy from GOG, you can use Lutris, they have a runner that should install everything needed to run BG3, and it also lists some tweaks to make.

You could go with System76, I think they have a high-end "graphics" laptop, which would be suitable for gaming. Open source company so you are guaranteed everything is compatible with Linux.

However, if money is an issue or you find something else you like, for example the Dell XPS laptops ( in the past have been very compatible with linux,) here is a tool to check the model and/or the parts (important) such as wifi, etc., to see if they are compatible for a lot of laptops.

I get the open source support part of your comment, but you are taking out the fact Steam/Valve has done a lot ...A LOT...to get games working on Steam. Additionally, for the first time every they have driving Linux marketshare higher than MacOS as a result. So, to dismiss them completely is wrong. They have done a lot for linux....and linux gaming.

Larian Studios has published the official start time for Baldur’s Gate 3, which is a global release and will be available to players around the world at the same time. Release times can be seen below:

  • 8am PDT (Los Angeles)
  • 11am EDT (New York/Quebec)
  • 12pm BRT (Rio De Janeiro)
  • 4pm BST (London)
  • 5pm CST (Berlin)
  • 1am, Aug. 4 (Sydney)
  • 3am, Aug. 4 (Auckland)

Developer Larian has recommended players who have taken part in early access uninstall their game and delete their save files to avoid issues at launch. Unfortunately, players will have to wait until the release time to start their download of the full game as a Baldur’s Gate 3 preload is not available. The game is also quite large, over 100 GB, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to download it before you start playing.

For this Halloween...the trilogy begins. First time Ellen Burstyn is appearing since the original. William Peter Blatty returns as one of the writers and rumor has it Linda Blair will make a cameo appearance.
