For those interested in the latest big RPG from Larian Studios, here’s my quick initial report on Baldur’s Gate 3 running on Steam Deck and desktop Linux.

    Vulkan wouldn’t work for my PC either. It would crash. DirectX works, but I hope they fix the Vulkan problem. I would rather use Vulkan.

    I played for over 2 hours and didn’t have any other issues. Performance was very good on my Linux Gaming PC.

    Specs
    Ubuntu 23.04
    ASUS Prime Z690-A LGA
    Intel Core i7-12700KF
    CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 5200MHz C40-40-40-77 1.25V
    ASUS TUF Gaming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

      Yes, same, I played Vulkan and the game crashes after the Nautiloid when it’s loading the beach crash site. DirectX works fine for me.

      Asus ROG Strix Scar 2022, Nvidia 3060, Steam+Proton Experimental on XWayland, Endeavour OS.

      I’m sure they’ll get Vulkan polished in time.

      After the patch I tried Vulkan again and played for over 4 hours with out an issue. I’ll play again…a lot over the weekend. We’ll see if I have any issues.
