This is driving me crazy. I'm trying to run BG3 and I'm running into a variety of errors:
My step up:
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.3
LTSKERNEL: 6.2.0-26-generic
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (gfx1100, LLVM 15.0.7, DRM 3.49, 6.2.0-26-generic)
GPU DRIVER: 4.6 Mesa 23.3~git2308230600.fbf3f6~oibaf~j (git-fbf3f64 2023-08-23 jammy-oi
RAM: 63 GB
One seems to be this for which I feel I've tried every googable solution:
You must install .NET to run this application.
App: Z:\home\peafield.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Launche
r\LariLauncher.exe
Architecture: x64
App host version: 6.0.18
.NET location: Not found

Another is this:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/peafield/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.
But I'm not even sure what this points to now.
Can anyone help? Or is anyone going through something similar with a similar set up?
EDIT: The solution, as many of you suggested, was to just change distros. I'd heard good things about Fedora so I tried it and everything ran first time with no tweaking! Thank you everyone for the advice.
I think I recall having issues with Proton Experimental.
I think I am using the last stable Proton 8.something.
Tried the last GE-Proton as well but also had some issues.
Another thing, I think during the first launch, some Directx installs did fail or took long and I killed the processes.
Though, the game always started fine for me, and I disabled the Launcher at the first occasion, now all is good.
Also, I had some other issues with Steam lately, and I tried the Beta version of the client, all my issues are fixed, you could try that as well.
I think this is exactly the issue I'm having. The launcher is failing to launch. How did you get around this and kill the launcher and just start the game?
I don't exactly remember, but I know that I had the launcher running for the first times, and in it, I disabled it so the game launches right away.
One thing I had in a different game, was a edge process (certainly to fetch news or something) that failed and that was the process I had to kill so I could see the launcher.
I use
btopin the terminal to show processes and I filter with the approximate name of the process I want.If you don't know the executable name, you can filter
steamand it'll show steam and the sub-processes that are running.From there, you can simply select
edgeUpdate( I think that was that) orDirectXInstall(both used to cause me problem when launching games for the first time) and use thekillbutton and see if the game launches.Okay I'll try that too! Thanks!
Finally, did you manage to run the game?
I did, but only by installing another distro (Fedora).
