Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Game loads to 100% but stuck on loading screen (audio works, no display)

Hi,

I’m experiencing a critical issue with Baldur’s Gate 3 after reinstalling the game.

-The game launches and loads normally
-It reaches 100% loading
-I can hear menu sounds and music
-But the screen stays stuck on the loading screen (no visual update)

Important context:

-I previously played ~200 hours on the same PC with no issues
-This started only after reinstalling the game recently
-All other games run perfectly

What I already tried:

-Clean GPU driver reinstall using DDU
-Deleted NVIDIA shader cache (DXCache / GLCache)
-Reset BG3 config folder in AppData
-Disabled overlays (Steam, NVIDIA, Discord, Xbox Game Bar)
-Forced windowed mode and DPI overrides
-Reset NVIDIA Control Panel settings
-Tested different refresh rates and resolutions
-Tried launching with both DirectX 11 and Vulkan

Nothing changed.

System:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
GPU: RTX 2070
RAM: 16 GB
OS: Windows 10
Drivers: latest NVIDIA Game Ready

At this point it feels like a rendering/presentation issue (audio works but frame is not displayed).

I have to be honest: this is extremely frustrating.
After 200+ hours of gameplay, it’s very disappointing to reinstall the game and find it completely unplayable, despite a fully functional system and extensive troubleshooting.

This doesn’t seem like a user-side issue anymore, but rather a serious compatibility or rendering bug.

Has anyone experienced this after recent patches?

Thanks.

What was the reason for reinstalling BG3 on the PC you played it on before ? Was something beginning to falter already ?

No, nothing was wrong before.

I actually uninstalled the game about a year ago simply to free up disk space.

Now I reinstalled it, and the issue appeared immediately. Before that, the game was running perfectly with no problems at all.

What I can think of is that maybe the uninstall didn't erase everything properly, and some ghost files from the past interfere. Perhaps again uninstalling, verifying if all Larian studio folders are gone, also in appdata etc... If something lingers on, delete it manually ?

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

I already tried that. I did a clean uninstall and also checked for leftover files.

I even renamed the AppData folder to force the game to generate a completely new one from scratch, so it should be a clean environment.
Unfortunately, the issue still persists exactly the same.
