At least some people can get past the initial cinematic. I keep crashing to desktop just after the tadpole is inserted (was able to play just fine up through patch 6). I've completely deleted the install folder, the BG3 profile in users\documents, and made sure no mods were installed and same thing ever time, CTD during the initial cinematic where the tadpole is inserted (right when it should cut to the city attack and the githyanki on the dragons attack the natuloid). Even if I try to skip the cinematic it CTDs. Update the video drivers, same issues.
