Hello,

 

I am trying to launch Pillars of Eternity single player game. (I am going to use IE mod as soon as possible) but for pure install on Linux steam I encounter this bug:
1. I launch steam->pillars of eternity or pillars of eternity via menu/games.
2. I click start new game and choose difficulty etc.
3. Game starts loading
4A. Game crashes my computer totally I can't use mouse, sound is stuck, no keyboard shortcuts are working, one of my monitors goes totally black like if I just closed my system - I have to reset my computer.
4B. I can create a character and continue and then happens 4A.

I tried steam online/offline, validation of game files, resolution full/window mode.
What is this magic? How can I make sure the game is compatibile with my graphic card/settings? I cannot raport it etc. because it totally hangs my computer system.

Well, you should post a bit more about your system spec. Which kernel, which drivers, which CPU and Graphic card. Any log files fromr pillars etc.
