[FIXED] Baldur's Gate stuck at 100% on the loading screen

[Artichokio]

Hello. After patch 1 came out, I started having an issue with BG3 being stuck at 100%. I thought it was my past use of mods with vortex, (only one mod, where you remove the main characters voice) so I uninstalled everything and it still didn't work. Even after a complete fresh install, removing all old files and installing on a different drive I was still having this problem. I finally figured out the solution, and it seems like no one else has so I thought I would put a post up.

UNINSTALL MEDAL.TV.

I did not think it was this program because before patch 1 was released I was not having this issue, and I could use the program fine with BG3.

Medal.TV's overlay seems to have been causing me this issue, because I uninstalled it and now the game loads like normal. Other gaming overlays might also be causing this issue, but I am not entirely sure. This fixed it for me though, so if you are having similar frustrating issues, attempt to remove all gaming overlays you might have and give it a shot.

I hope this helps, It did for me.

THANK YOU
Been dealing with this issue for a bit and just figured I had to let it load for awhile until it just started working but after fully closing Medal the problem disappeared and the game booted up right away

Its an overlay program that lets you clip moments when you are play. Good if you are play FPS games and want to save a play.

I've been dealing with this exact issue on and off for the last week, where I was basically unable to play because it kept freezing on the startup loading screen, almost always at 100%. Spent hours trying a whole bunch of fixes suggested by various sources - I uninstalled vortex and all my mods, updated windows and my graphics drivers, rebooted my whole pc, switched to vulkan and then back to DX11, verified files...so many different little things. Eventually it worked (and continued to for a couple days), and I figured it was probably a combination of out of date drivers, etc.

However, I just started dealing with it again tonight and was baffled. Things were still up to date and I have a fairly beefy streaming/gaming PC, so it shouldn't be a question of hardware performance. In desperation, I happened to find this post, and I do indeed use Medal, so I tried force quitting it in task manager before booting up the game (instead of a full uninstall like OP suggested). Immediately booted up just fine. Started Medal back up after the initial loadscreen and everything functions normally.

TL;DR: If you use Medal and want to continue using Medal, simply force quit it through task manager, start your game, then start Medal up again after you're done loading in.

If you have not already, try:
1. Uninstall any mods/mod manager you might have (you can always reinstall them once you get the game working again without them, and then you'll know if that's what is causing your issue or not).
2. Update your windows and graphics card drivers if they are out of date.
3. Verify your game files.
4. Reboot your PC.
5. Attempt to boot up your game.

You could also possibly try switching between Vulkan and DX11. I play with DX11, switched to Vulkan when I couldn't boot up the game, successfully loaded, then switched back and the DX11 version worked again.

Those steps resolved my issues for a little while before Medal started causing me problems again - but we were all dealing with frozen loadscreens, not CTD issues, so YMMV. Good luck!

Literally saved my life, was going insane having to wait 30 minutes for the game to launch

THANK YOU LORD

What might help is doing next:
Delete the contents of

%LocalAppData%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\LevelCache

This is general tip from FAQ, but what they DONT tell you is that you can simply delete settings profile without losings saves if you have Steam Cloud enabled

%LocalAppData%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\PlayerProfiles

First do a backup of ....\PlayerProfles\Public(or profile name)\Savegames
Then wipe this folder's contents

%LocalAppData%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\PlayerProfiles

This helped.
