Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Another update... the game still won't start

I am on Windows 10 and the game has never once started up for me since launch. I have tried Direct X and Valkan and neither works, my graphics drivers are up to date. I have tried running as admin from the file location and doing so while holding shift, I have reinstalled the game multiple times. Steam shows I have spent a total of 53 minutes playing Baldur's gate, all of which is just spam attempting to start it almost every day. Can we get a fix for this or at least acknowledgment that someone is aware of the issue and working on it?


When trying to run from file location I get VCRUNTIME140_1.dll error.

When starting through steam I get a Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 x64 Minimum Runtime and Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 x64 Minimum Runtime error after which the launcher opens, I press Play on either Vulkan or DirectX 11 and the Larian Crash Reporter immediately comes up without ever seeing a game screen.

I have seen several threads in here with the same or similar problems, mostly the above suggestions and then the thread sort of dies out without the problem ever being solved or getting an official response of any sort.
