Error when trying to load game

[DragonMaster]

Ok I've installed the game checked the integrity of the files and I keep getting this error when I try to launch the game:

Error

Failed to load the main menu from the current game mod. The main menu in that
mod requires the level. Make sure to clear any local mods and try again. If the
problem persists, please contact Larian Support.

Now I don't know why I am getting this as I've got NO MODS installed for the game. I've even deleted Vortex and still cant' get the game to run. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much this did the trick and I'm up and running. Now I'll just go of to Larian's page and post the fix over there in case others run into the issue.

Also need to go over to Nexus and let them know that I found a fix for the latest Customizable Starting equipment and what I did to get it to work.

Currently doing my 3rd reinstall, will try this method shortly, wish me luck!

solution here: after deleting all mods i also deleted all the modsettings.lsx files in the playerprofiles folder in the appdata and it worked

Was messing around trying to create my own mod and ran into this issue.
Deleting the appdata folder worked for me! Many thanks :)

The issue is if you're using a program to edit the load order automatically, like BG3MM, it is removing this child node.

<node id="ModuleShortDesc">
<attribute id="Folder" value="GustavDev" type="LSString" />
<attribute id="MD5" value="33023ce68aaac5860e0d705ab0cd21b9" type="LSString" />
<attribute id="Name" value="GustavDev" type="LSString" />
<attribute id="UUID" value="28ac9ce2-2aba-8cda-b3b5-6e922f71b6b8" type="FixedString" />
<attribute id="Version64" value="144115220291731812" type="int64" />
</node>

Re-adding this node to modsettings.lsx fixed the issue for me and allowed me to play with my mods again.

This worked for me! Many thanks!!!

A note for y'all, I was messing with mods (hadn't installed any to the game, just started with the mod manager) and I got this error. I deleted the "modsetting.lsx" file in the LarianStudios/Baldur's Gate 3/PlayerProfiles/Public folder. Hope it helps!

Interesting. I haven't added any mods yet, but I have that node, but some of the values are different. eg. The second line has no value, and the last line is a different number.

<attribute id="MD5" type="LSString" value=""/>

I'll back up the file so I can copy from it if I need to later!

Where do i find that folder? I am having same issue, i deleted the cloud saves and still have problem, can't find the larian studios file though.

Copy the following & paste into the address bar of File Explorer, then [Enter]: %localappdata%\Larian Studios\

The %localappdata% is a variable that will go to the \appdata\local\ folder for your Windows user account. ( Just %appdata% will take you to the parent where you can see the Local, LocalLow, and Roaming folders. If you ever want to manually delete temp files, %temp% will take you to the Windows temp files folder.)
