Baldur's Gate 3 not launching
Baldur's Gate 3 not launching
I can see launcher and hit play but then nothing happens, It just stays on launcher. I tried --skip-launcher option and other Proton versions but none of them have worked. I'm on amd gpu and Proton-GE sometimes throws and error of "failed to collect displays" message, any idea?
SOLVED:
apparently sway was the problem and fixed it with below startup command
echo env --unset=SDL_VIDEODRIVER mangohud "%command%
You're viewing a single thread.
In general I recommend checking protondb.com if you're having issues with any game on linux. Lookup the game and scroll past the steam deck entries. Often somebody has posted a solution there.
I your case, switch to Proton experimental and use these launch options:
eval $( echo "%command%" | sed "s/Launcher/LariLauncher.exe'.*/bin/bg3_dx11.exe'/" )
It switches the game to launch the dx11 version. Alternatively, rename bg3_dx11.exe to bg3.exe or change the game from vulkan to dx11 in the launcher (if that can be done in the launcher). Vulkan is known to crash for some on Linux.
I tried this command from looking up protondb but not working. I can hear a startup sound effect but It displays nothing
