Edit: Running through Steam fixed it. I guess it pulled in some library that I had missed.

I've got a strange problem that nobody else seems to have.

All the small ability and item icons are missing. They don't show up at all.

Now, I have an unusual software combination running so it's probably because of that, but it's still a strange symptom. I'm running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on a Steam Deck. I have BG3 from GOG and got the Linux binaries from a friend.

Apart from this bug the Linux version runs superbly. The bug shows up whether I have mods on or not, I have tried complete reinstalls and running with completely empty config directory. I can see the bug already in character creation. Icons from mods that would add new icons like Mystra's Spells don't show up either.

Anyone ever seen something like this?

I'm sorry that I don't have a fix for your problem, probably some weird difference in installed libraries between OpenSUSE and valve's custom arch distro, but I have to ask: why run OpenSUSE on a steam deck in the first place?

Actually, your comment gave me the idea of trying to run it through Steam. And that actually fixed it! Thanks!

Now I just have to find out what that does differently from Heroic's "use Steam Runtime".

Thank you for answering and I'm thrilled you got it working. Sounds like a bug report to Heroic.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah, will definitely report it if I find out what Steam does differently.

To get better control over the whole system. I mainly wanted full disk encryption and a recent KDE Plasma version running on Wayland.
