When I click a start button black screen appears and closes after 2 or 3 seconds. I tried to change a window settings in the launcher but launcher is also bugged and after clicking apply, in place of graphics configuration some blank screen appears so I cannot change the window settings. Do you have some solution for those issues?

Same here. I was trying to solve it by deleting ads_files and ads_version and then run checking files (someone said it worked for him). But that doesn't change a thing.

Run launcher -> top rignt corner -> settings -> set to run in WINDOW mode.
It worked for me.

If it will work for you please check topic on SOLVED mby we will help someone else.

Small update of BDO on Steam repaired the issue. I am glad they fixed that quite quickly
