Crash on Launch

[Næturveiðimaður]

No mods, clean reinstall, verified file integrity.
Right after selecting to launch the game on vulkan, I get the bg3 crash report send dump files etc message window.

16 RAM
rtx 4070
i9 13gen

I uninstalled every single of my mods thinking there was a compatibility issue. No luck. Reinstalled BG3, no luck. Verified files, same.

Dunno what to do next.

Share screenshots to show that you have deleted all mods.

Same for me. Was working fine last night. Started up again today, crashes just as it get's to the larian logo.
I verified 20 times. Deactivated all the mods, reinstalled, updated my driver and nothing....

Just realized it sounds like you're starting from the launcher. Go to properties and type
--skip-launcher in the launch options, that might help your problem. I could never get it started from the launch menu.

Why are you using vulcan instead of directx? (Or better, did you test it on directx?)

Same here. Did everything you did.

Ran fine this morning. Now it crashes right after clicking the Play button. Also crashes running the dx11 executable directly (vulcan crashes as well) with Steam down. No mod changes since yesterday.

I have this problem. Yesterday evering Ok but this morning I can't launch the game whatever the path choosen for launching the game .
I obtain the picture of a big white arrow and nothing more
No mods at all. More than 500 hours of game with recurrent crashes but playable

I'm not as militant about it as Angelfish, but I do recommend making sure Mods have been fully cleaned up. it just takes a minute and lets you exclude that.

It’s best to double check that all mod files are completely removed. To do so, check the 'Mods' and 'Public' folders in the '..\SteamApps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data' folder, etc; and if present, both folders are safe to delete. If applicable, you can also delete the modsettings.lsx file in the profile folder.

You are also going to need to check the local AppData folder for the current user account: '..\SteamApps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data' as any old mod files may have been copied over to there. To do this, copy the following line into the location bar in Explorer and hit Enter: %LocalAppData%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods
Delete any files you find there

Having said that, I have only rarely seen mods involved in crashes at the launcher stage.
I'm curious if the crash report says anything about why it crashed? If it's technical mumbo jumbo it might be a very good idea to copy paste that to google or a post it here for us to see.

Did something change before this started?
Driver update to the RTX 4070 maybe? You could try rolling back one version.
Toggling between Vulkan and DirectX to see if one or the other causes issues can be helpful.
There was a snafu with a Vulkan Nvidia driver last month where the one pushed through Geforce Now messed things up but manual download from site worked fine for example.

Im using GE Force Now to play since last year, played over 400 hours no problem at all, few crashes, due to my connection mostly.

Since feb 12 i cant even launch the game. Tried installing it on my pc, same error. Larian launcher pops up, i click play, then get a white screen or the first two animated logos, then the game crashes.

I saw some people saying its due to multiple saves, but i cant even log in to delete them. Tried larian support and GE Force Now support, no response so far. Its annoying.

If using the Windows OS, it regularly requires repairing due to corrupted update downloads and failed updates of system protected files. Google how to repair your OS with DISM and SFC commands. Also update your graphics drivers because they too can become broken due to system updates. This is my experience of using a computer for gaming for the past couple of years,
