I just played some more and... crashing some more. Since disabling the LariLauncher I have racked up 10 crashes of the game and 3 "Hardware Errors".

I ran a DISM /checkhealth wich went through errrorless and a SFC /scannow which found errors that it fixed, to make sure my windows is ok.

I started to play with the friend together in his game, until it crashed to desktop. Then I opened a game and he joined me, we didn't even make it out of the Nautiloid before I had a crash to desktop. I have to add we stream the game using Discord to see what the other does.

Now I started a new game, streaming it to Discord because I assume that might be the culprit. I was done making my character and setting up the guardian... hit <proceed> and nothing happened. The game still ran, the proceed button was greyed out, I could hear the music and turn the guardian... but it didn't continue. I hit ESC and could select reset to main menu, which it tried to load... but the loading percent would not fill and it started to hang there. So I AltF4 it.

Now I deinstalled it, and I am installing it again, to another SSD I have, lets see.

The weird thing is, while this version of Baldurs Gate 3 not want to run I played over 30 hours 7 Days to Die without any crash, I even streamed it using discord. I played Final Fantasy 14 without issues for hours on end. Only this game doesn't want to run.
