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.

    Haven’t tried with BG3 but I’ve had great luck with Heroic Game Launcher.

    You’ll need to use desktop mode to install it and add steam shortcut. You might need to run Winetricks inside HGL to install latest version of MSVC and . net if it doesn’t launch.
