So there’s one thing you might want to try before you give up on playing for the weekend. I had an issue on my PC a couple of months ago where the game wouldn’t launch. It turned out that the problem was with the Larian launcher. But the good news is, you can actually skip this launcher and go straight from Steam to the game.
You can try going to the BG3 Steam page, then “settings,” then “properties,” scroll down to launch options, and then type a phrase in the launch options box to skip the Larian launcher. The phrase is:
—skip-launcher
(Two dashes, “skip,” one dash, “launcher”)
I hope this helps! It’s worth a try at least.
The launcher is disabled for SteamDeck users.
With that the bug report as well.
I am just saying they did this on purpose.
And you can see this on the video there is no launcher the game just boots into the game w/o having the opted to choose directx or Vulcan.
