Larian Studios Forums Active Threads Since Yesterday

Today I reinstalled my Windows 11 via recovery usb stick, with a clean user profile, clean registry, clean driver installations, etc.. -- and the game still continues to crash after a few minutes.

At this point I choose to believe that I was simply lucky for the last months since August to not have experienced any crashes of BG3, and that I must simply forget the idea of playing it again any time soon. It's simply to unstable for that at the moment, with no hint of a solution in sight, thanks to the near useless log files that give no hint whatsoever why the game simply closes/crashes.

I am glad I am not the only one still thinking about the Divinity 2 DKS. I played it a long time ago but never finished it. I returned to it this summer and it was immediately high in my top 10 and this is very hard to tick all my check boxes of preferences in video games. I understand that Swen might personally feel that this part was forced into such shape by third parties, but still for me it was a great game. I am not a big fan of turn based games, so I really hope that sometime Larian might decide to experiment with the DKS gameplay style again and give us some Dragon Knight protagonist.

I recently switched from using mod manager to just using the in game mods. I downloaded some mods yesterday and the game was playing just fine. No freezing or nothing. I got out of the game for like 20 minutes and tried getting back in and the loading screen froze. After it crashed I tried getting in again and it loaded, but then it deselected all of my mods when I tried loading my save. Whenver I select the mods back and try loading game again it crashes at 81% load screen. I can't figure out how to attach photos here, so I'm just going to list what mods I have. I also have script extender from when I was using Mod Manager. I tried removing it, but when I did, the game wouldn't open at all so I had to put it back. They're really only cosmetic mods, so I don't understand what the issue could be.

You've already made your point, I think? Why write same thing again and again? No need to repeatedly crash other people's party, imo... Suit yourself though.

That is true, but I hope that rather than letting technical challenges reduce everything to human-like, that they see it as something worthwhile to invest resources towards overcoming.

In the end I'd rather see a unique lizard race which may have some issues with clipping and animations than less variety just so everything can be perfect for cinematics.

LLMs can only regurgitate what is written in their training data. So unless the best build is obvious and people agree on it AI will only tell you who shouts the loudest.

Ideally there will be several builds that all perform similar to each other so thats either impossible to tell without a mathematical model which one is really the best, or that the best build is only a slight upgrade over other builds, instead of it being so much more powerful that everyone can instantly tell it is the best build.

PS5 version does not allow characters to equip weapons/gear when meeting stat requirements from bonuses.

For example, a weapon that gives you +1 Strength and gloves that require 11 strength. Equipping the sword does not allow you to equip the gloves.

Using the same sword and gloves and removing all other gear, I I was able to equip the gloves on the PS4 version, but I can't do it on the PS5 version.

Characters can learn skills with augmented stats but unless your character naturally has the required stats, you can't equip weapons/armor.

Hey all,

Ran into an issue last night that I'm completely stuck with.

Been running BG3 on my Acer Nitro 16 with AMD Ryzen 7000 series processor and NVIDIA geforce rtx for the last two years with no issues save for the occasional crash. Everything has been smooth as butter.

Last night I'd been playing for around six hours on my modless honour mode save. Had had a smaller crash earlier in the day but it seemed pretty normal, and the game opened up as normal after. However in the main hall of Moonrise post Myrkul I went to open dialogue with an NPC when the screen stuttered then froze. Audio played out as normal, and my cursor was fine for a few seconds before everything froze completely. Then, black screen. Laptop crashes entirely, couldn't even send a crash report. Upon restarting I reinstalled and updated my graphics drivers as the NVIDIA app said they weren't installed any more, and checked that everything else with my PC was running smooth (CPU and everything are fine). Then tried to reopen the game to resume playing.

Immense lag even from the Larian logo, and the loading screen was stuck on 100 for about five minutes. When I eventually got to the main menu there was similar lag, the animations on the title screen were incredibly choppy. However all audio and sound cues were as normal, including the chain sound when you click the button to access the menu, and the button clicking sounds themselves. Everything in the game seems to be accessible, like I tried loading into my two most recent saves and could get in, though with the same issue of normal audio and laggy framerate 1-5 seconds behind the audio. Went into settings to check that everything was optimised, that I was using the actual graphics card, and everything was exactly the same as it had been pre-crash. I tried turning on FPS cap and setting everything graphics-wise to low. No dice.

So far I've tried:

- Disabling Steam overlay
- Verifying installation and checking file integrity
- In the game settings, capping FPS, changing quality to low
- going into the NVIDIA app and changing some settings
- on laptop control panel, making sure the game is interacting with the correct graphics card. Have tried a few settings.
- launching through Vulkan (I usually use DX11) - this gave me a Fatal Error, Failed to Enumerate Physical Devices. I don't know enough about hardware to really know what this means, but I guess it's something to do with how my graphics card interacts

Currently trying a full reinstall as nothing else has worked, but not feeling optimistic. Has anyone else had similar issues and knows of any fixes? I'm not very well versed in pc hardware so my only guess is something's gone awry with the graphics.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I really want to get my game back to normal!

PC Specs are:

- Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, 8GB
- Processor - AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS
- 16 GB of RAM
- 983 GB of storage
- 64-bit OS x64-based processor

First of all my stance on AI. Whilst I do use AI as a tool and to generate art for my own personal use the best to frame and put on my walls I do not agree with it replacing human artists. Nor should people sell AI art; theres loads on Deviantart.com and Etsy which I think is wrong and takes money away from real artists.

You can see why. I created the Patriarch from the divinity games sat on a throne. Honestly it's very good. Link to my deviant art as I cant link directly to images.

I would be greatful for anyone's opinions.

Neverwinter nights 2 works great cross-play on Switch/Switch 2, for anyone craving for RPG co-op.

Is there a mod or fix for the current Steam version of this game to make fonts larger.
I play at 4K and the fonts are a bit too small for my old eyes.
Since this is a Steam version of the game, I cant fine and therefore edit the config.lsx file

Greetings everyone!

For those who play Divine Divinity on Linux and would like to apply the patch for larger fonts,
I recreated the original .bat script in bash, so you can run it in a terminal.

Here's the script itself on Github with instructions:

https://github.com/mikeshp/divine-divinity-larger-fonts-patch-linux

Here's how to use it:

• Download the patch archive from the original post above
• Unzip the patch archive in your game's /fonts directory
  for me it's ~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/divine_divinity/fonts/ but may vary for you
• Download the DD_font_patch_Linux.sh script from Github into the same directory
  if you can't figure how to download from Github, then inside the very same directory create an empty file and name it DD_font_patch_Linux.sh
  then open the script on Github, select the code as it is and copy
  then open the newly created file with whatever text editor and paste the code, save and close
• Open a terminal inside the very same directory
  you can either find an option under Right-Mouse-Click menu, or just open terminal and enter the command:
  
  Code

  cd ~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/divine_divinity/fonts/

  just don't forget to edit your directory accordingly
• Make the script executable by running the command:
  
  Code

  chmod +x DD_font_patch_Linux.sh

• Execute the script by running the command:
  
  Code

  ./DD_font_patch_Linux.sh

• The rest will be prompted in your terminal window.

Enjoy your game, have fun!

I am working on a custom weapon mod for a item that can be equipped as a torch, or sidehand weapon. The weapon is working great except that if I place it on the ground it becomes invisible. What is extra weird is that when mousing over to select the invisible weapon, instead of the cursor becoming a hand, it becomes a bow-and-arrow icon, like how it would appear if mousing over an enemy or maybe a lever.

The item uses the physics of WPN_Wood_Woad_Club as well as the parent root template ID.
Is there any other information I can provide which might help?

Stop this, OP. Just stop.

Shie Shie.

By your logic chess and beach volleyball are the same, the differences are just mechanics.....

I have tried everything I can think of, both controllers are plugged in.

The eshop listing specifically says the switch 2 version supports split screen co-op, and it's the only reason I bought it. How can I do it?

Update: Chapter 9 is now published. The party infiltrates the Avernus stronghold of Sanver'du in the hopes of locating and acquiring Karlach's heart of flesh. With the help of the devil Bezraen, General of Bel, and Mizora, what could go wrong?

BG3.5 - Hellraisers (Fanfiction)
Baldur's Gate 3.5: Hellraisers - an original fanfic story that is a sequel to Baldur's Gate 3 Fanfic: The Afflicted. It picks up immediately after the events of Baldur's Gate 3 as characters from the previous fanfic - Fiovay, Kai, Aelun, Vlyn, and the other members of their party - travel to Avernus. Their quest is to save Karlach but also to hopefully find and rescue Darson, Aelun's father, from the clutches of Demogorgon.

I had an idea about using AI in the development of games. Players, myself included, always want MORE options for our characters. Body types, armor types, faces, hair etc.
When one creates an armor in a game models and textures have to be made for each body type available to the player.
What if an AI was made that could make those models and textures given two or three reference points? So real artist(s) would make key models and textures then AI would fill in the gaps for more body types. This way making one suit of armor or set of clothes wouldn’t require an artist to make half a dozen or more models and textures for each armor. I was thinking such an AI might be used across multiple games, a development tool more than attached to a specific game. Someone else probably already thought of this, but in case no one did I suggest it here.

This sounds less like a design flaw and more like your friends are assholes who don't actually like you. Please get some better friends.

Me and my friends frequently threw pyramids around to help each other when needed and in any game we give each other time to catch up if necessary. Seriously, your friends aren't good friends, if they are even actually friends at all.

I recently stumbled upon this scene with Volo and Bosk, and to be honest, I was a little surprised that the developers didn't reveal this moment fully. It seemed to me that there could be some hidden plot detail or secret character reaction that players haven't discovered yet. It would be interesting to see if it can be activated in some way through other dialogues or items in the game. I am always fascinated when Baldur's Gate III leaves such little mysteries for players.

Technically, the stipulation isn't combat, it's it being your turn.

If your character has ridiculous initiative, you can throw to start combat just fine as you will go first and thus it will work.

This is why it can also bug out if you end your turn before it returns to you during combat (Most likely to happen when it gets randomly delayed because it's falling through a large enemy, if you're too trigger happy on ending turn after throwing you get screwed)

As for if they can fix it so it works even when it's not your turn? Maybe. Though they're working on other games right now rather than any more fixes for BG3 it seems.

Additional note, the error also appears when deleting saves in game
