Today Baldur’s Gate 3 is released for the PC (Steam, GOG). However, if you want to start the game, you will be greeted with a message: Your Nvidia driver is no longer up-to-date. If you want to prevent this, you should use the forced waiting time now.
What about the release of Baldur’s Gate 3?
Here’s what you should do now: Since Baldur’s Gate 3 didn’t have a preload, you’ll need to download the entire 122GB right before playing. Depending on the line, this can take several hours or even the whole night.
However, you could then be greeted by a nasty window that tells you that your graphics card driver is out of date. So use the time you already have to wait for another download:
You don’t have to restart your PC after installing the driver if you just install the new version. Experience does most of the steps for you.

Baldur’s Gate 3: The essentials to get started
If you have the latest graphics card driver and Baldur’s Gate 3 installed, you can start right away in the role-playing game. Either create your own character or play one of the “Origins” that follow a pre-made story.
When creating your character, you can choose one of 11 races and choose from one of 12 classes. The choice can have an impact on your game, because different classes and races can react differently in certain situations.
Basically, you can’t do anything “wrong”. Baldur’s Gate 3 is an RPG where your actions have certain consequences. Almost every passage is different, the game should even have 17,000 different endings.
It is therefore important for many fans to go into the game with as little previous knowledge as possible and simply discover the whole world for themselves. There are countless situations that can be solved in different ways and companions who may or may not agree with you. When I played it, I remembered one particular situation:
