Larian Studios Forums Active Threads Since Yesterday

I am on Act 3 in the dock area and my game keeps crashing as well. I am playing on the PS5.

Hello there!


I seem to be stuck at the entrance to the Antedivulan Vault. Bellegar doesn't summon any of his waves which deadlocks me from proceeding. Does anyone have a fix for this?

It's nice to know that they're replying!

I find the opening sequence in the game generally works, up until you reach emerald grove — that's when the crashes really kick in.

From doing a lot of digging I believe the changes MacOS Tahoe/Sequoia made to Metal, and the way it handles pulling assets, are to blame.

Any time the game is forced to load a bunch of things at once the graphics system stalls or takes too long, Shar only knows why.

La'zael doesn't have astral knowledge anymore, and Shadowheart gets 9 attribute points instead of 8 in dexterity & wisdom.
If someone lets me know how to add pictures to threads here, I upload my screenshots.

Here's another good one: Which is faster? Loading BG3 and continuing a saved game, or the opening two stanzas of Freebird, before the real hook begins?

I didn't encounter any problems initially, but after you guys uploaded this update, My PC-Steam Game graphics is actually started experiencing loading delays and Screen flashing every few minute...


Congratulations, you guys created more problems in your attempt to solve one.

Yeah, but even then it would be a minor addition (and probably something TRIVIAL to add, effort-wise) rather than something actively detrimental to the game's quality and it would STILL open a lot of possibilities to modderns who want to leverage the feature.

So back to the point: no, even this won't be a sound argument AGAINST having a day/night cycle.

Dude, you're not an exception.

I started playing BG3 in 2023 /10 . I didn't encounter any problems initially, but after Larian uploaded this 2026 /02 update, My PC-Steam Game graphics is actually started experiencing loading delays every few minute...


Congratulations, Larian created more problems in they attempt to solve one.

I suggest you request a refund first, since we don't know when Larian will fix the problem, or even if Larian will fix it at all.

it had to unpack the file... that takes a long time depending on your system Ram/ cpu but is a smaller download

The main issue with this sort of design is of course how the sleeves function.

Rendering them with proper cloth physics is significant computing power (Heck, we rarely see proper hair physics for the same reason) and without that they will clip horribly with many things.

It was passable in older games that had less overall movement so the issue didn't crop up as much, if at all. But these days, we have all sorts of active animations (With Larian even using motion-capture to properly render it)

At this point, Larian doesn't even implement cloaks very well, both in terms of them being more "Cape" than "Cloak" as well as a complete lack of physics involved with them (Which is why they clip through tails...). So I'd question if they'd be willing to properly code these sorts of sleeves...

So while they are certainly an interesting look... I'm not sure how likely they are to appear in modern games.

Hi, I've never had this bug before but am now encountering it with the new update installed. Is there anyone else still experiencing the issue?

Have just entered act 3, any saves I attempt to load cause game to crash and send me to back to ps5 home screen.

Can safely load save from wyrms lookout camp just before entering Rivington/wyrms crossing.

Playing with mods but had no issues in last couple of play throughs going into act 3 (as recent as jan2026).

Any work around a or help greatly appreciated!

Potato wedges don't need this slander. They can be pretty dope. Especially when covered in cheese.

Of course, they're no curly fries, but still good. I'll give you your opinion about skins on vs skins off as I accept that it can be divisive (I personally do like skins on wedges)

It wasn't literally that phrase, of course. I don't remember the exact phrasing, but the first answer in the list was like "Hell yea", the second felt to me like "I'm interested but give me some more time". I didn't expect that to cause the door slam shut.

I would love to see a mod that implements the Dead Eyes (in anyone of the other empty houses) for playthroughs while dealing with Auntie Ethel.

Game is unplayable still on my mac. Nothing fixes it.

How many of you are playing from a Mac that was provided by work/university etc.?

I'm pretty sure there's a firewall/monitoring program that I can't disable on mine which could be causing the crashes?
