Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Player Character starts Knocked Out

I made a new game and my character is just laying down in the ship with the Knocked Out status and I can't seem to do anything about it.

I just made another character and this happened again.

Turns out it has something to do with Vulcan vs Direct X 11. It was on Direct X11, but then I just tried again on Vulcan, and now it works.

Do you have problems with system performance if you try to run the game in DirectX in general? I have appalling performance if I try to run the game with DirectX (less than 5FPS) but it's fine with the same settings in Vulkan and I can't work out why, and haven't yet come across anyone who has confirmed the same problem.

(EDIT: And I should have said, I'm glad to hear you found a workaround and can start your adventure!)

its a change since patch 8 that has nothing to do with DX11 or Vulcan and yes restating or reloading is the work around
another side effect is hitting the beach dead instead of just knocked out
