This problem has been fixed a while ago. Well, maybe you're referring to another problem, but you're not giving any information so it's hard to know.

I go to launch the game from DX11, I get a black screen, and then it crashes back to the launcher. So, I guess it is not fixed. A couple other people posted as well, saying they have the same problem still. I have tried all the suggestions, making sure I don't have any virus protection on, updated my files, pressing shift-and number keys or whatever, launching directly from the .exe, etc... nothing works.

But it works with the shift-click / as admin (eventually, after 5-10 attempts), right?
If not, it may be a completely different problem, and giving just a few symptoms won't allow anyone to help. Several people had this because they removed the swap disk, for example.

I suppose it's better to ask directly to the support at this point, with system specs, dxdiag and BG3 log files.
Though being in EA (*) means they probably won't answer (they never did in the forums). When I tried to contact them, with the problem above, I only got the generic answer after several attempts.


(*) arguably, looking at the website and how BG3 is advertised, the fact it's in EA isn't really standing out wink


No, nothing like that works, but it is the same problem everyone else is reporting. I run the .exe from the main folder, as administrator, it starts up, I get a black screen, then it closes, and I end up back at the startup page.
