Long story short: I am absolutely inexperienced with Linux distros but made the switch from Windows a bit more than a year ago. Right now, everyone’s talking about Baldur’s Gate 3, including a lot of the podcasts and shows I follow: since I never experienced the OG games, I wanted to try them out. They were on sale on GOG, and I had previously set up Lutris so that it interfaced directly with it. But the game refuses to start. Every installation method I tried has miserably failed at some point or another, and when it didn’t, the game just won’t boot up (either in Lutris or out of it). I’m out of options and I have asked for a refund. Is the situation with the Steam versions any different?Am I missing something? Help!

I found that link in this thread:
https://www.gog.com/forum/baldurs_gate_series/does_linux_version_of_baldurs_gate_enhanced_edition_work_out_of_the_box
It explains why it does not work and have a link to a solution (the first link I pasted)
EDIT. I tried it and it works
Text of the accepted answer from that thread:
Isn’t that a single player game? Why does it need ssl to run?
I think it does have a multiplayer mode, but not sure why it would require SSL of all things
Edit: a clause
