win7 64 bit. please do not reply with "upgrade to windows 10". I've heard every argument, and dont care to hear them here again.
game crashes on startup. dx11 exe was able to launch after setting launch in compatiblity mode for windows 7. after playing for some time, exiting the game and reloading gave me the same blackscreen.
the fix remains valid, in fact i found the next fix today - delete the user profile folder in my documents...
this allowed me to launch the game again and play.
game crashed after about 60 minutes, and again, refuses to launch to anything but a dead black screen now. Window focus gets oddly messed up from the load-freeze.
deleted my documents BG3 folder...and voila, game works again.
