As the title says. I severely dislike having to make accounts for every game publisher that wants to send me advertisements, collect data or whatever.

It's usually an instant dealbreaker for me at this point

Publishers needing their own launcher already puts them on shaky grounds with me.

But I really liked the original BG 1 & 2, so I'm willing to not just refund it immediately and actually ask around first for solutions.

Does it launch with directx or Vulcan when you do this?

For me it chose direct x so I had to use the launcher. Vulcan is much better for me (just be sure to not use triple buffer for nvidia cards). Just choose skip and check the box that says 'do not ask again' and the launcher is less aggravating.

What differences do you see when you use Vulcan? And what's the deal with triple buffering?

My experience is that the directx reflections and post processing look worse. Triple buffering on was causing screen tears.
