So no response by Larian to ANY of the issues with the game not launching from steam--crashing with both dx11 and Vulkan. And yes, we can still play from the exe file directly--but guess what IS NOT AVAILABLE?? The Deluxe Edition items. So this is not a solution. It is incredibly unprofessional for Larian to not even acknowledge they are aware of the issue, working on it, or anything. And an issue of this magnitude absolutely should have been hotfixed by now. This is bullcrap, I paid to play this game, in its entirety, and I cannot. I can't use the special bard songs, I don't have access to the special equipment.
Larian, you can either fix this crap or you can refund me. We Steam users exist too, and we should be able to play the full fn game ffs!!
