vv221 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Hello fellow GNU/Linux GOGers! As you most probably know GOG does now provide patches for Linux games. Which is great, they’re quick to download and easy to apply so you might think it would be the end of my work on unofficial patches. At least that’s what I thought… As you most probably noticed, especially if you have a poor Internet access, GOG does *not* provide patches for The White March, Part 1, and you’re stuck downloading the whole ~2.8 GiB each time it gets updated. Well, you don’t need to do it anymore Like I did previously with the base game, I’m now building patches for its extension, and I’ll keep doing it until GOG takes care of this themselves. So you just need to go to the following page for download links and instructions: unofficial patches for Pillars of Eternity Your feedback is welcome here, as well as your thanks, calls for help, reminders I’m late for a patch, etc. I hope your bandwidth will like the work I put into these patches 4 Install easily Pillars of Eternity and its extensions on GNU/Linux
Xaratas Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Cool *edit* Looks like the torrents have no tracker and no dht, running for 20 minutes, not one peer found. Switch to downloads. Edited October 1, 2015 by Xaratas 1 More modding for PoE II | How to Work with Stringtables
vv221 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Posted October 2, 2015 Looks like the torrents have no tracker and no dht, running for 20 minutes, not one peer found. Switch to downloads. There’s no tracker, but I’m sharing them 24h/24. Depending on your luck it might take more or less than 20 minutes for the download via BitTorrent to start. No problem if you switched to direct download, I put the files there so you could Just please add them to your BitTorrent seeding directory afterwards, so that the next one interested in these patches may not have to wait 20 minutes or more before finding a peer. By the way, I tested them only on my machine so it would be nice if you could confirm that everything work as intended on your side too. ----- I guess it would be a good idea to add a tracker to my future .torrent, but I first need to learn how to set up one. If you have some hints about this they would be most welcome Install easily Pillars of Eternity and its extensions on GNU/Linux
Xaratas Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) I will confirm it after reinstalling my graphic driver, last security update gave it a version bumb (331 to 340), with the slight problem that the new version is not compatible with my kernel. -.- *edit* Only the mesa dri part got faulty, nvidea driver still works. But the game does not look like 2.01, it still writes 2.00.0706 PX1 in the bottom. Do I need booth patches? The gog base game incremental and yours? *edit 2* The gog patcher for 2.01 after your rdiff took all available space and then stood still for too long. Now i have the urgent feeling that the os installed on this pc is trashed enough, so I have to do the long postponed reinstall.

vv221 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Posted October 3, 2015 (…) I tried to apply the patches only the "old-school" way: 1. GOG official patch for the base game 2. my unofficial patch for the extension It works that way, but I can’t say if it will work the other way around, and it will definitely not work if you skip one or the other.

Xaratas Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Sorry for not writing, i haven't found the time to resetup my laptop. And now i have seen that gog did a new packaging of 2.0.2 and removed the incremental updater downloads of the base game. So I load gog version 2.8.0.12 now. And then the addon again … More modding for PoE II | How to Work with Stringtables
vv221 Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 And now i have seen that gog (…) removed the incremental updater downloads of the base game.I noticed that too, I think I’ll go back to build patches for both the extension and the base game.

Xaratas Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Current files (poe-linux-patch_2.8.0.12_2.9.0.13.delta and px1-linux-patch_2.2.0.4_2.3.0.5.delta) work flawless. Thanks 1 More modding for PoE II | How to Work with Stringtables
vv221 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Posted March 16, 2016 update _support for The White March, Part 2 added _the patches will now update your game to the latest released version (3.01) 1 Install easily Pillars of Eternity and its extensions on GNU/Linux
vv221 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) update New patches have been uploaded, allowing to update PoE to version 3.02.1008. As usual, you will find separate patches for the base game and each part of the expansion, so you won’t have to download more data than you really need. Following advice from Gatsu on ubuntu-fr.org, I added the .torrent files to a couple open trackers. The main difference for you will be that the download via BitTorrent should now start nearly instantly, instead of taking sometimes more than one full hour before finding the first peer.

vv221 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Posted March 25, 2016 Pinned your posts so people can find it easily!Thank you for the extra visibility While I have your attention, I’d like to know Obsidian opinion on the next part of this patch project: I’m planning to build similar patches for the Linux DVD version of the game that got sent to backers. But before starting to work on this, I would like to be sure I wil be allowed to share them… If you’re okay with this, you can expect patches to update the DVD version to 3.02 some time next week Install easily Pillars of Eternity and its extensions on GNU/Linux

Xaratas Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Something unbelievable has happened. Gog has incremental updater for 3.03 for all 3 parts for linux, right after the patch release. I must have seen some ghosts, the packages for WM1 and 2 are full size, 3GB not 3MB. Edited July 12, 2016 by Xaratas 1 More modding for PoE II | How to Work with Stringtables
vv221 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Posted July 16, 2016 I’m working on new patches right now, and should be able to publish them tomorrow. ./play.it installation scripts and patches for the DRM-free DVD are currently worked on too Install easily Pillars of Eternity and its extensions on GNU/Linux

vv221 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Posted March 28, 2017 It’s highly unlikely that Obsidian would publish new patches to Pillars of Eternity, and this project hasn’t seen a lot of activity lately… So I’m planning to take down the patches in a not-so-far future. Feel free to download them and host them anywhere if you would like to see them kept alive. I don’t know yet what I will do about the patches for the DVD version, these ones I might keep maintaining longer. Install easily Pillars of Eternity and its extensions on GNU/Linux
Xaratas Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 We need to hope strongly Obsidian get the patching for PoE 2 right the first time. 1 More modding for PoE II | How to Work with Stringtables
