can't start the game

[Xen]

Hello guys, i try to start the game but when i do i got the microsoft windows popping up saying "Microsoft. Net host- 6.0.11 (x64)
the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavaible......"
If anyone had this problem and solve it ?
I tryed to redo the instal but its still same.

Steam downloads the correct runtime to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\DotNetCore\windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.11-win-x64.exe

Or some other folder where your BG3 is. Maybe try to reinstall that runtime.

Try going into your Steamapps\common\Baldur's Gate 3\DotNetCore folder and running the executable file in there.

Hello, i got "windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.11-win-x64" inside the dotnetcore files but when i try to instal it he ask for "dotnet-host-6.0.6-win-x64.msi" and i dont know where i can find it.

Downloaded the right file from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0 now it works but thank for the tips guys.

Hello, you need to download the "dotnet-runtime-6.0.6-win-x64.exe" from here: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-6.0.6-windows-x64-installer, run the installer, and click on the "Repair" option. After that, you can run BG3 from Steam, and it will simply resolve the issue. This happens because the "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache" folders were deleted.

I've been running into game crashes recently. I tried so many things. Running on Vulcan and Dx11. Fresh install. Run as admin... etc.
Then my programmer instincts kicked in... maybe it's just the version of dotnet(the thing that runs the game). So I uninstalled 6.0.11 and installed the latest 6.0.21.
https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/6.0/6.0.21/6.0.21.md

And no more crashes. Before, the game couldn't handle 15 minutes of gaming or like a couple of minutes of cutscreens/fighting but it's been like 30 minutes and survived all cutscreens and fights.

Dude, the topic is from the end of June and has been dead since July 2nd. The OP even posted the fix. What was the point of your reply?

Well, it is still a nice gesture... but you are not wrong. A little overenthusiastic.
