Game VERY dark all of a sudden on monitor.

[Rock Roberts]

I was streaming this game last night with a buddy using a dual PC set up. Was having issues with Discord kicking me out for some odd reason and there being audio issues in voice chat in Discord so I stopped streaming using the other PC and just started streaming on the gaming PC. I have 3 monitors (2 21 ASUS 1080/60 monitors and a 27 LG 1440/144).

When I switch off the streaming PC, the game became very dark on the screen and nothing I did in the options in the game or in on the monitor helped (I was using the LG 1440p monitor to game on). I switched the monitor output to another monitor in game and it was ok, but when I went back to the LG monitor, it was dark still.

Shut down the PC for the night and when I woke up, other games displayed just fine on the LG monitor (The desktop and other apps appeared just fine on the LG monitor last night before and after the game went dark). I booted up some other games and they looked great this morning. Booted up BG3, same issue. I uninstalled the game and currently reinstalling it.

Any one else have this issue? If so, did you find out how might have happened or or to fix it? Thanks!

I'm also on an LG monitor and the same thing just happened to me. As soon as I minimize or look at my desktop then it's perfect but BG3 is super dark. When I set it to windowed then it seems fixes itself. But as soon as I go back to borderless or fullscreen it goes dark again.

I just figured out the fix for this same issue for me. You need to run the game in direct x if you are using an nvidia card. I was using bg3 mod manager and it wasn't set to this by default, although I had launched the game through that several times with no issues. I guess the default was changed at some point, but enabling direct x in the preferences menu solved the issue.
