I got it working! Thank you for being so thorough! Awesome guide!
mine ran fine from the launcher once and then never again. what changed?
This is the most thorough video out at fixing BG3 crashes, worked perfectly, thanks.
Thanks, this has a lot more things to try than I've been seeing. Hopefully one of these works.
So it works when you go to D:GamesSteamsteamappscommonBaldurs Gate 3bin and start the BG3_dx11 exe (btw steam must be closed, otherwise it messes up the game), but then you won't be able to play multiplayer. Basically Steam doesn't register any game time when you start it via the BG# dx11 launcher. I think it is bad optimization with steam. I can't open Lari launcher lau at all 🙁
download this and install this auto this fix https://we.tl/t-rPhstZOXAf
Wow! Very impressive. So thorough! Thanks.
On the launch page, I don’t have a settings gear beside the launch button to select between Vulcan and direct x 11. I’m on a MacBook Pro. When I launch the game, it crashes in the middle of the first load screen. I’ve already verified files and made sure the drivers were updated. Can anyone help me out??
used [bg3_dx11] to make it works,, …
tks mate
I can't get over how much better my game is running after this. I did every step short of a complete reinstall and everything is running so smoothly! Even the areas with a lot of NPCs are running great. Thankyou for this!
