Baldur’s Gate 3 worked fine before. Now it returns to the game’s library page just before it would normally show the game’s logos.

We tried switching to proton experimental, as suggested by people who were having a similar issue back in August, but this gives the same result.

Has anyone been experiencing anything similar, or does anyone have any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I tried setting “gamemoderun --skip-launcher” or “--skip-launcher” as a launch option, but this didn’t work.

Have you tried reinstalling? I had a similar issue with Elden Ring crashing shortly after launch and that fixed it for me

Just a heads up, you can probably just do a "Verify Files" instead of a full redownload next time this happens. If redownloading fixed it for you, chances are a few game files just got corrupted somehow and reinstalling fixed it. "Verify Files" should check each game file to make sure they're valid and redownload just the ones that aren't.

Nope. I tried that first. It continuously started again after finishing. Stayed in a loop.

it worked like a charm for me, both docked and handheld after the patch

Is patch 3 already out on Steam? I don't have any problems with the version before that from GOG. Running it directly without the launcher through Lutris.

If you are still having issues try verifying the game files in steam

Didn’t seem to work. Same result.
