Hello y’all, I’m at my wits end. I got the GoG version of BG3 (cause DRM free yay!), but for the love of me I cannot get it to work. I’ve done so much googling and so many workarounds, I’ve installed .net, I’ve skipped the launcher, I’ve used the alternate .exe, I’ve tried proton experimental and 8 and hotfix, but nothing has got me even as far as a loading screen. I just get a flash of black then crashed back to desktop. If anyone has any insights or help I would greatly appreciate it, I’m using Heroic right now but honestly I’ll do whatever to get this thing working.
Are you downloading it directly from GOG? Have you tried installing other games? I see you’re going to try lutris, which may work better. I use Heroic Games Launcher which works like a dream for both gog and epic. Have not tried Baldur’s Gate 3 through Heroic though.
I was trying Heroic, but it didn’t work. I’ve installed other games through Heroic and they worked just fine. Currently installing it through Lutris to see if that works for some reason
