Since today Game fails to start

[rarup]

Hi,
I am playing under Linux Mint (everything up to date). After >60 hours of gaming now BG does not start anymore. I press "Play" -> the Cancel-butten appears -> I see a message 'Cloud syncs' -> then the "Play" button apears again and that's it.
I let the data check run and I disabled cloud saving. No change.
I see no error - nothing.
Any ideas what to do?
I have >30GB left on SSD.
And as said: the game did run stable on my system

regards
Rainer

Same, also Linux.

Same here, also on Linux

I just got it working by forcing Proton 8 in the properties

Use the skip launcher command in steam.

1. Turn off Cloud Saves
3. Shut down and restart Steam
2. In the BG3 Launcher, open Settings, disable "Check for outdated graphics drivers."

Good Luck

Disabling Cloud-save leaded to a hanging BG after Vulcan-Shader rendering.
Stopping it did not stop it.
Stopping Steam told me BG still running. Accepting to stop Steam did work.
Changed to Proton 8 - now I get the launcher again.

As a general rule avoid using cloud saves, i play on Win but nearly for every game the first thing i do is to turn off cloud saves, because they mess up more times than they help or are worth to keep. You can always make backup copies of your saves.
On Linux i would imagine it to be even easier. I had to learn some shell scripting i still have them somewhere, so even i could probably write a quick copy all saves (and override or delete before copy) kind of executable file. And it would work faster than cloud saves too.
(Probably could do it in Powershell too, but i would need to spend more time on looking it up than on linux. We had learned some shell scripts in class, but not powershell.)

Switching to Proton 8 fixed it for me too, thanks.

I couldn't get BG 3 working today and tryed
-all of the official Proton versions
-clearing the game cache deletes your saves, and official Proton versions don't bring the folders back
-gamemoderun %command% --skip-launcher launch options
-turning off cloud saves
None of these worked

So I cleared the launch options and installed Proton GE 8-21
Game working on Linux mint 20, kernel 5.15, oibaf mesa drivers, RX 6950XT

Had the same problem until I did that! Wonder why it stopped working all of a sudden when it was working perfectly fine under Ubuntu before?

Same issue. Setting it to Proton 8 like this person said worked for me on Ubuntu 22.04.

I also have it skip intro and force dx11.
