Error Running Balder Gate 3

X11 or Wayland?

Try disabling the Steam overlay.

FWIW I haven’t heard of anyone running the Vulkan version without any problems. Just use DX11 and stop worrying.

This is the dx11 version - see bg3_dx11.exe

Dang.

Are you running it through Lutris? Steam with Proton? That error seems decidedly like a Wine specific problem, which Proton should have ironed out at this stage for this particular game.

*Unless you’re trying to play on hardware with incomplete Vulkan support. Then it’s a hardware support problem that is unlikely to be fixed in a reasonable timeframe.

I am running it through steam with Proton Experimental and i get the same through Proton 9.0

After further testing it appears when multitasking ans switching windows which explains why it happens so infrequently

Try using Protonup-QT to install the latest GE-Proton version on your machine, restart Steam and then set the game to run with GE-Proton.

Personally it usually works for me with Experimental, but GE is generally the best.

This. A fresher Proton-GE is also going to come with a newer DXVK, the DirectX to Vulkan translator.

The other part of your equation is “what is the Nvidia driver version?”. Dunno if Fedora has the E-sync capable version 555 yet.

Are you on Gnome, KDE, or some other desktop environment? I know KDE Wayland and Nvidia do NOT play nice (presently).
