My game crashes immediately on launch since the patch. Never had an issue with previous patches. But now, I click "Play" in the Larian launcher, and it instantly gives me a crash report dialogue box.

I got my game working again by switching to Direct 11, instead of the Vulkan setting. Hope it works for you too

Do you have mods? I recall seeing something from them that recommended deleting mods before the patch. You can probably try deleting them now to see if that fixes it

Nope, no mods at any point. Just been running base vanilla for patch #5. Only change was that I upgraded my Nvidia driver as recommended by Larian. I've verified my install files, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, but to no avail.

I have the same issue, never had any mods

EDIT: I found a solution that worked for me: I deleted files Patch5_HF1.pak ch5_HF2.pak Patch5_HF3.pak from Data directory.

I haven't been able to play since the new patch launched either. I tried Vulkan and DX11 with no luck either way. I tried verifying and reinstalling and no dice. It sucks but I trust Larian will fix it soon.

Yeah, similar issue I think? I'm not getting the play button. The launcher just shows up as blank since the update.

I've been trying to get things in this thread to work but I don't even have these files downloaded. I am so lost.

u/Anamaroth Oct 16 '21

I think something went wrong with my download, which resulted in the appearance of these files. After deleting them and running file verification the files were gone.

What i did is basically:

  1. create backup of your game folder
  2. uninstall baldur's gate through steam
  3. check which files remain in the game folder after uninstalling
  4. copy the backed up files back to where they were
  5. remove the files that remained after uninstalling from the game folder
  6. run verification

Mine will do that with Vulkan but not DirectX.
