After 5 clean and full reinstalls, BG3 still crashing at launch hit play
I have no idea why my copy of BG3 refuses to not crash at launcher. Can anyone point me to where I might be able to try and find how to fix this?

5 clean reinstalls and following various guides on how to '100% install' I am tired of even trying to play this game any more... Is there an official Larian response or fix or am I stuck until the next patch/hotfix MAYBE fixes this for me?

I doubt you.
I put lots of efforts into my guides and guarantee they work if used correctly for the correct issue.
Dont alt tab while loading.

You'd need to provide far more information than this.

You wouldn't expect a mechanic to know whats wrong with your car just because you told them it won't start.

That comment is enough reason for me to block you. If you want to waste the time of people willing to help you, you will end by yourself.

Ah yes, this made things so much clearer for me....

It's a user error.

How is it a user error? I've deleted all mods, downloaded a fresh install and am still experiencings crash of the launcher after hitting play. I'm not sure how I can be in error...

Your mods are bugging the game uninstall scipt extender 6.0 or rollback to 4.0 witch works fine for me

I'm not a betting man, but if I were then I would wager you never bothered visiting %AppData% to manually remove your mods. Open your file explorer and, next to your username, enter this: \AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3. Make sure there are no vestiges of your previous modding experience in this folder, and make sure that, in the game's main folder, you have no residuals that you may have dropped in there too.

Someone linked me a guide on here to a 100% clean uninstall and I followed that guide. Deleting the app data folder was a step in that guide

I have 0 mods in this install. I don't even have the script extender downloaded. What do you mean by roll back something?

If you bypass the launcher, does the game work? (Have you tried? If not, type --skip-launcher in the launch options for the game properties. Heard this has helped some folks get over a minor crashing hurdle.)

Enter into Steam Launch Options for this game:

"blah\Steam\steamapps\common\blah\blah\blah\bg3.exe" %command%

You *need* the "" and the %% ....
