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…
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!
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 🤷♂️.
