Indeed. I run Linux and have no capes being visually represented in the game world either, just in the inventory/character management GUI. Which basically makes capes only a stat bonus (if you have any that have them), and otherwise useless. I made a separate post about it because I run Linux and only saw the Mac OSX post here.

This is hard to explain, and it's hard to catch it on a screenshot. The game has a slight static electricity looking line that moves from the bottom half of the screen to the actual bottom of the screen, when I move the camera or when the camera is moved. I don't know what to call this. Vsync is on by default, and doesn't seem to do anything about it. It has reduced when I decided to use my desktop monitor instead of my TV. But it's still there, and makes the game world look ugly when it goes over the screen. I can't seem to find a way on my own to fix it. I installed something called 'compton' that I found online that apparently will fix 'screen tearing'. Since it didn't fix it, I am starting to think that's not what this is. It's faint when on the screen, so it's not jarring, or a major issue. I just don't know what it is and would like to fix it. A friend has tried the game and has not experienced this and he too uses Linux and an Nvidia GPU as I do. So I had to come ask for help since we can't solve it between us. Sincerely, Ram

I bought Pillars of Eternity the day it came out on the 26th of March from GOG.com. I run Linux as my primary operating system on my desktop computer. I love the game, don't get me wrong - GOG.com staff offered me money back as credit for another game and I said no, because this problem occurs with every Linux version of their games, so it wouldn't have made a difference and since I like the game so much I wouldn't have agreed to give it up anyway, despite these problems. These may be little, but they matter to me. I'll list the problems below, in easy to read format: 1) The first problem is: Not properly packaged archive, instead of an installer. a) As a result the game doesn't get installed and doesn't show up in the Games location on any distribution used, or tried on. b) Cannot add the games shortcut to the panel in KDE, because it's not a properly packaged installed game. c) Cannot add the games .png icon to the launcher (there are 2 in the folder of the launcher) in XFCE desktop (which I am using now for simplicity) 2) The second problem is: Capes have no visual representation on the characters models in game on the Linux version, but on the Windows version they do. a) As a result it makes capes seem nothing more than invisible stat bonuses (if you happen to get ones that have them). Those are the issues I'm experiencing on Linux. Hopefully someone can shed light on the problem and fix it. GOG.com staff are too lazy to care, I've asked them for help and they linked me here and offered money back as credit toward another game instead of actually assisting me. I did give them proper information to assist me, but they never did. Initially they stated that the distribution I was using at the time was not supported, which isn't actually true - considering the distribution is Ubuntu 14.04 which they say they support, but instead of the Unity desktop it uses the XFCE desktop. Before that I had tried it on Netrunner which is Ubuntu 14.04 based but uses KDE as it's desktop. The XFCE desktop was on Xubuntu, which is Ubuntu with XFCE. When I proceeded to tell them that information, they stated to me that the desktop environment is what's in question - which is just lazy for "I don't care, go to the forums". I have let a friend try the game on his system to test out the issues I'm experiencing and he too has experienced them. However on the XFCE desktop environment he was able to add the games launcher file to the panel, but the other problems still existed. I hope this has been enough information to get proper help with the issues. If not, please state what is needed and I will do my best as a relatively newer Linux user to get you the requested information. I don't mean to be rude, I'm just being honest, and showing how I feel through my words here. I will not use curse words. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Ram
