I was able to launch BG3 on Tuesday. On Thursday I tried to download the new patch and for 4 days I've been trying to get it to run.
I've tried giving BG3 and Steam Full Disk Access, I've reverified the Steam game files multiple times, restarted my computer, updated to Ventura, and let my mac 'verify' BG3 multiple times. I haven't made it to the Larian launcher once. If I start the game through steam and let it run it will bounce up and down on my dock as if the game is opening, but after several minutes will become unresponsive without any changes until forced to quit even if given several hours to possibly boot up.
I've noticed in my Activity Monitor it shows BG3 is using up 0% of my CPU as if my computer isn't even attempting to run it. I should note I'm using a 2017 iMac with a 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 processor. I am aware the minimum specs for Mac have changed as of launch, but I have seen other people say they've been able to play despite not having an M1 chip.
Is there anyone else having this issue or know of any fixes?
