Patch 7 - Weird dialogue with text input and checkbox

[Ohfor]

So I'm getting this weird empty dialogue box popping up. Happens when I start game, change display settings, pretty much any interaction with the UI.

I did remove the entirety of the Baldurs Gate 3 game folder and downloaded from scratch. Fairly sure it's not a modding issue, unless there's something even weirder going on that I don't know about.

Any ideas?

I'm having this issue on Mac. Have tried every single thing in this thread, on reddit, anything i can think of, even disabling mods altogether. I'm at my wits end, any ideas are welcome lol

On Windows most people do a clean uninstall before reinstalling the game.

Before that you could load your backup.

If anyone's having this problem, I just came back to BG3 after almost a year (blame work). My experience with it, from literally just now having the problem and fixing it, is that it's the Improved UI mod.

I'd like to remind everyone that using a mod manager is important. What's perhaps more important is people knowing that Improved UI and Modfixer CAN'T BE DISABLED TRADITIONALLY. Even if you have a mod manager, those .pak files in the Appdata folder (which is why nuking the folder "works") will keep running because they override the game directly. You can delete them, update the BG3 modlist (yes, this is a seperate thing) and then try again. Alternatively, because the problem might be with all the updates vs non-updated mods, you can just "disable" those mods by... changing their file extension. Granted, you still need to update the modlist, but now you don't have to do a complete reinstall of the game and mods.

I unfortunately cannot tell anyone if ImprovedUI is still working, I've literally just sat down and fixed THIS issue on my end, writing this so people don't spend a fr*cking afternoon or so reinstalling the game. What I can say is this: make life a little easier on yourselves, and potentially others if you give them advice, and be organized. Don't run for the uninstall button unless you've actively modified base game files directly. Usually mod managers allow you to treat mods like "plugins", unlike ye olden days when you did modify the game files. But please be aware of how your mods change your game, not all mods are created equal.

Just going to post this here because I was looking here for help with the same issue and this fixed it for me.

I had this mod:
Customizer's Compendium - NPC Options Unlocker
LINK: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/10?tab=description

The mod is outdated with patch 7. Even though I had it disabled it was still giving me the UI text box issue. So I deleted the "Customizer" mod completely from "C:\Users\XXXXXXXX\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods" (the XXX's are your computers username). Once it was gone I downloaded the updated version and it fixed everything.

Customizer's Compendium - Patch 7 Ready

Hope that helps someone!
