Getting Baldur’s Gate 3 Running on the Intel Framework 13 (Ultra 7 155H)

If you landed here after searching “Baldur’s Gate 3 won’t start Framework 13,” here’s the one-liner that fixed it for me.

TL;DR – the working launch options

In Steam → BG3 → Properties → General → Launch Options, paste:

PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr,dxr11 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 %command%

Use Proton Experimental (Settings → Compatibility).

My setup

  • Laptop: Framework 13, Intel Core Ultra 7 155H
  • RAM: 64 GB (overkill, but nice to have)
  • OS: Fedora Linux 42
  • Desktop: KDE Plasma on Wayland

No dGPU, just the Arc Xe-LPG iGPU—yet the game fires up and plays great at 1080p Medium.

That’s it. Happy adventuring!
