A short while ago I said in a post that I have not had any problems with any of the hotfixes or patches either DX11 or Vulkan. This is true enough.
Then a little voice in the back of my head (a tadpole?
) said "you use a reshader". Used one in EA and from the day I got the full game (with Hotfix #1) and I'm currently on Patch 2.
I'm currently using DX11 so I did some quick experiments.
Switched over to Vulkan and reshader - game and save loaded without problem.
Removed reshader and tried to run straight off the Vulkan exe (bg3.exe) - game hangs on a white screen.
Tried to run the game off the DX11 exe with no reshader and the game and save loaded without a problem.
So if anyone is having having problems since Patch 2 trying a reshade might help. If you are willing to give it a go then run the game directly from the exe just to take Steam/GOG launcher out of the equation.
P.S. It took me longer to get through the gateway timeouts than it did to do the experiments.
Please report back here if you do give it a go.
I'll gladly help anyone who isn't familiar with using a reshader.
