Notes

If the game still doesn't start, locate and open game's error.log file. At the beginning of the file there should be list of files with .TTF extension, use guide above to remove these files from Fonts folder.

Cage cursor option not working

There seems to be an issue with Cage cursor option, where the game is not locking mouse cursor to the game window/screen on multi-monitor system each time player changes location.
Alt-tab from the game and return back[citation needed]

Blurred image

The game does not support anti-aliasing, forcing AA via drivers will cause undesirably strong image blur.
Disable anti-aliasing in the graphics driver[3]

No ultra wide screen resolution on Linux

Some Linux distributions have reported that they can't set ultra widescreen resolutions (21:9) in the options menu.
Work around[citation needed]
  1. Set the resolution to 1280x720 and untick the Fullscreen box.
  2. Maximize the windows
  3. It should now have adjusted to fit your native resolution. It work after restart as well.

Notes

This was tested on a tiling window manager (i3) and steps might vary depending on the window manager.

Slow loading screens on some system configurations

The auto-save feature cannot be disabled and will save during every area transition. As the game progresses and the save file size increases, this can cause loading times to increase.
Update and mod[citation needed]
  1. On the title screen of Pillars of Eternity, in the lower left corner is the game's version number.
  2. Download IE Mod for that version.
  3. Follow instructions for installation of the mod.
  4. Run the game, start a new game or load a saved game.
  5. Enter the menu and press the IE Mod button.
  6. Change Autosave Frequency as desired.

Notes

Only download the mod made for your current version. There may not be one for your version if you've recently updated. Using an older version can cause the game to crash.
