Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Patch 7 forgot how to draw stuff on my rig

It starts on the opening screen. The hill and the city wall are there, but nothing else.

Click "continue" and the underground cavern is empty. No temple, no staircase, no adventurers.

Load a save and nothing is drawn except for basic terrain. No characters, no furniture or buildings, no anything.

Haven't seen anyone else complaining about this, so I guess I'm just special

Edit: and no, I'm not using any mods. This is a fresh install.

I would guess some file(s) is / are corrupt. If you're on steam did you try a file verification ?

I have a friend experiencing the same issue, though it hit them before this update. I've been trying to troubleshoot for them for *weeks*, it's been driving me bonkers.

offhand what i recall of their specs

win11
gtx 1660 super, i7-11700 16gbs RAM,

not a monster but more than up to the task, and it runs cyberpunk fine rn so the hardware isn't failing.
They've cleaned cache, reinstalled, reverified, have doublechecked to ensure there's space on their SSD for the game to stretch its supremely demanding legs
ran tests through different launch styles (w/wo launcher; vulkan/dx11), as well as several graphical setting set up and in slow hdd mode.
i confess I'm out of ideas.


we are BAFFLED. anyone who can give a pinch of insight into this, I'd adore it, because even if he's nearly past caring, the enigma of it haunts me. o7
