Essential improvements
Skip Larian launcher on startup
Run bin\bg3.exe (Vulkan rendering) or bin\bg3_dx11.exe (DirectX 11 rendering) instead of the default Launcher\LariLauncher.exe called by Steam/Galaxy.[2]
|
- Currently unknown if this breaks achievements and cloud saves.
|
Use the --skip-launcher command line argument.
|
- Steam achievements and cloud saves still work.
- Uses DirectX 11 rendering by default.[3] For Vulkan, add the
--vulkan command line argument.

Networking issues
The official Larian documentation[9] suggests the following solutions to networking issues.
General problems
Ensure that all players have the exact same versions of the game and any potential unofficial mods.
|
Switch the player hosting the session; transfer the appropriate save game file to the new host to maintain progress.
|
Verify/repair game installation.
|
Check if the connection can be established if the host moves to character creation instead of waiting for players to join the lobby.
|
Joining-specific problems
- This includes the
NATPunch (66)
error message when trying to join a room.
Host a multiplayer room, and then immediately close it. Then, attempt to rejoin the other player's room as normal.[10]
