Cant save games - Linux

[fedecc]

Hi, 

 

I am having some trouble running the game on my Linux machine (Mint 17).

 

I used the tarball from GOG. When I execute the game, it runs fine with the exception that I am unable to save any progress. In the main menu, the "Continue" and "Load Game" buttons are disable and show the message "Loading Save Game", and once in game when I try to save any progress nothing happens (the save picture is blank).

 

If I run the game on root (which I shouldn't), I can save  games normally (they are stored in /.local/share/PillarsOfEternity), but for some reason I get no sound at all. 

 

I figure this has something to do with permission. Ive tried chmod but nothing changes.

 

Maybe someone here can give me hint.

Thanks in advance.

It may be the running as root that disabled the ability of your user to save games.

Have a look on this thread (GOG forums):

Thank you vv221!!, indeed I found the solution on the GOG thread (I saw you were there )

 

In any case, it was in the permissions of the .config/unity3d/Obsidian Enterteninment folder .

Glad to see you managed to get it working in the end

Have fun!
