== Please move this thread to D:OS I technical issues (sorry, wrong subforum). ==

The game creates its working / configuration directory straight in $HOME directory on Linux (as "$HOME/Larian Studios"). That's a rather messy behavior. Can you please fix it, so it would follow XDG base directory specification?

That's an accepted standard on Linux for dealing with such directories. You don't need to split config / data files into separate dirs, but at least create one in appropriate location (such as $HOME/.local/share for example), not in $HOME.

Workaround for this is adding this to runner.sh

Code
... HOME=${HOME}/.local/share ./EoCApp

Is anyone in the studio still fixing issues in the Linux version by the way? Quite a number of reported bugs were never fixed.

At least in the short term, there are currently no plans for any EE updates.
