Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks New install Baldur's Gate 3, game doesn't start after crashes

I just installed my (just bought) Baldur's Gate 3, from Steam.

At first, the start-up kept crashing (I couldnt even start the game), telling me something about DX11 drivers (versus Vulcan).
I then upgraded my Windows (7, admittedly old) DirectX drivers to version 11. I checked my graphics card -> Intel HD 3000, with DDI 10.1 version (whatever that means).

Now, I can't even get the Baldur's Gate 3 to start, ... when i click 'play', the game merely hangs....

Any experts/advice would be appreciated!

Kind regards

You really should upgrade from Windows 7. That is my advice.

Microsoft have officially ended all support for Windows 7. And that includes the security updates they have kept providing for a long time now.

Basically that means that if a new hole is found in the system (and that is very likely), there will be no update to plug that hole.

If you keep using Windows 7, you are asking for a whole heap of problems.
