fix

Larian Studios made a unnecessary new bloatware ♥♥♥♥ launcher for the game and in the process broke the game on linux.

To fix it, open a terminal, cd to the installation directory:

cd ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Divinity\ Original\ Sin\ 2/

Then run the following commands:

mv bin bin-bak mv Data Data-bak ln -s DefEd/bin bin ln -s DefEd/Data Data mv bin/SupportTool.exe bin/SupportTool.bak ln -s bin/EoCApp.exe bin/SupportTool.exe

Thanks to Ordon for posting this information (originating from protondb[www.protondb.com])!
And ⎛⎝惡貫滿盈⎠⎞ for pointing out problems with the original solution!

Thanks ⎛⎝惡貫滿盈⎠⎞! I changed the guide accordingly.

That fix is incomplete and it could cause black screen and crush.
According to the author of proton-ge, the correct way to symlink is:

mv bin bin-bak
mv Data Data-bak
ln -s DefEd/bin bin
ln -s DefEd/Data Data
cd bin
mv SupportTool.exe SupportTool.bak
ln -s EoCApp.exe SupportTool.exe
