  This is very unfortunate.

  Would it generate a crash log of some sort? Do you know where it would be for the Linux version?

  Depends on the Linux distribution. When we've investigated before - it usually requires a backtrace or core dump.
  
  Ubuntu, for example, uses Apport - https://askubuntu.com/questions/346953/how-to-read-and-use-crash-reports
  
  It would also be really helpful for you to say which store and how you launch the game in case that is relevant (i.e. desktop shortcut, terminal, Steam client)

  Icewind Dale isn't creating a .crash file in /var/crash/. If there's some other way to get a crash log or anything, I'm glad to do it for you.
  
  I'm launching the game through the Steam client.

  I am having a similar problem with the game crashing whenever i start a multiplayer game. I am launching through steam. When someone joins my lobby or when I try to join another lobby my game crashes. Single player works, i can load a multiplayer save if no one else i playing. Is there a solution I can work on or do I have to wait until the patch gets patched?

  Uninstalling and reinstalling the game through Steam has fixed the problem.
  
  My game was never modded, so maybe the update for Linux left some old files or something? Whatever the case, it's working now.

  Hello. I have simillar problem. Game always crashes when I starting new game.
  I ran game under gdb and got crash callstack. Maybe it will help your coders to fix the crash
