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.

BG3 doesn’t use Steam for DRM, only for distribution. You could zip up the game’s folder and burn it on a million floppies or whatever, and play the game wherever you like.

Thanks for the hot tip, after spending 10+ hours struggling I’m just refunding and going to get it on steam. Having to zip my own backup is slightly annoying, but much less so than this nonsense
