I downloaded it from Steam, and finished the tutorial. Then the transition video plays and I’m back at the main menu.

However, when I select the play Baulder’s Gate option, it takes me right back to the end of the tutorial and I’m in this endless loop that I can’t get out of. Any suggestions?

Another update: I installed the game on a newer computer running a different OS, and BG1 is now working as expected.

It’s interesting, I only have a couple of Steam games in my library, but they all respond differently on my two systems - some that didn’t play, now do. And some that worked on the other system, won’t on the new one 🤷‍♂️.

It seems as though I am stuck in Tutorial prison. I’ve tried the suggestions here, but I’m unable to get anywhere.

I’ve read that other people are having problems with the current version of Steam, so this might be something that gets resolved via an update. Again, thanks for the help!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I actually have Proton running at 8.3 (I’m not at the computer so I’m not sure of that number is correct).

I did try hitting single player first and it sends me into the same loop.

I did think of something that might be causing the issue, and if I’m right, it would be a real dumb ass moment for me 🤪. I’ll check that out and try your other suggestions as well. To be continued…

Everyone can overlook something simple. Hope you get it fixed. Let us know.

I just checked mine and it’s running with Proton Experimental. This was turned on with the global setting to use Proton Experimental for all other titles in the compatibility settings.

I launched it and maybe you have to hit the Baldur’s Gate button under the tutorial? Then Single Player?

Try launching it from a terminal window. It will likely show some useful debug info

Have you tried Proton Experimental? Or an older version of Proton.
