I'm having a weird issue with baldurs gate 3 and am hoping I can get some advice.

The launcher works without issue but the game itself never opens a window. I can hear it launch and play, but it never actually renders a window. Even in gamescope its just a black screen.

I am using AMD+Mesa with Sway as my WM. if I do a swaymsg -t get_tree it shows the launcher window, but nothing for the game window so its not on a different or invisible workspace.

anyone else experiencing an issue like this?

EDIT: I managed to resolve this issue with Steam flatpak. Odd.

I had the same problem on steam deck, I solved it by launching the game in desktop mode, force stop it on steam launcher after a few seconds, move back to game mode, change the layout from community to official layout and it work absolutely fine 👌
