Edit: Running through Steam fixed it. I guess it pulled in some library that I had missed.

I've got a strange problem that nobody else seems to have.
All the small ability and item icons are missing. They don't show up at all.
Now, I have an unusual software combination running so it's probably because of that, but it's still a strange symptom. I'm running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on a Steam Deck. I have BG3 from GOG and got the Linux binaries from a friend.
Apart from this bug the Linux version runs superbly. The bug shows up whether I have mods on or not, I have tried complete reinstalls and running with completely empty config directory. I can see the bug already in character creation. Icons from mods that would add new icons like Mystra's Spells don't show up either.
Anyone ever seen something like this?
Try cleaning you cache as suggested in this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1086940/discussions/3/4032473436326468727/
It should be located in
~/.local/share/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3.I feel like this could be the root of the problem. The icons in the Windows version of the game might be in a different format, so the Linux binary is looking for files which do not exist. Something like that.
Done that, no changes. The data files are all exactly the same as on Windows. Only
PhysXOverlay.pakis new in the Linux version. But having or not having that file doesn't make a difference either. At least not for the icons.
