Some Beamdog Games Fail to launch

[kemra102]

3 of the D&D games released by Beamdog currently fail to launch, in particular these ones:

• Baldurs Gate: Enhanced Edition
• Baldurs Gate II: Enhanced Edition
• Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition

The other major Beamdog game (Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition) seems unaffected though this game uses a different engine to the other 3 on this list so it's not entirely surprising.

When clicking Play on any of these games the Preparing to launch... dialogue pops up then immediately dissapears and the game does not load.

Running BG2 from the cli:

I have twiddled on/off various options in the LSI config but it doesn't seem to change anything.

Do you have this library installed in your system?

[kemra102]

@aleksvor Can't believe I missed that, installing json-c-32bit fixes the issue.
