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 23.3git2308230600.fbf3f6oibaf~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 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 btop in 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 steam and it’ll show steam and the sub-processes that are running.
      From there, you can simply select edgeUpdate ( I think that was that) or DirectXInstall (both used to cause me problem when launching games for the first time) and use the kill button and see if the game launches.
