Larian Studios Forums Active Threads Since Yesterday

When you say "first full PT" does that mean, first time playing, or you have already done some parts of Act 1 and maybe Act 2 ?

If it's really the first run, I would wait with modding and try the game as it is. Act 1 is eminently replayable, so if it turns out to be too easy you can get some mods and restart. If you 've already tried some parts of the story with different classes and found it too easy, then forget what I said.

I'm currently also getting constant crashes with dx11 and vulkan with the device lost error. Just curious if anyone has seen this and if there is a solution.

Disclaimer: I know that on some level, I'm partially to blame for what I am about to share, but I come here hoping the right dev at Larian may see it and take pity.

So a few years back, I played DOS2 on my PC and LOVED it. When I heard it was coming out on Switch, I was thrilled to pick it back up again so I could do another campaign on the go.

Fast forward to today. I got through Act I on a near completionist run, and was bit into Act II. My husband said he wanted the TV, so I said no problem - it can cross save, right, so I'll continue on my computer!? I enabled cross saves on my Switch via the game options menu. It gave me a quick prompt about transferring my current switch save to Steam, which I accepted! Or so I thought.

I open DOS2 it via Steam on my PC, only to find my old saves from my precious run a few years ago, no current campaign save from my switch to be found. "No problem," I think, and go back to my switch to re-open my current, locally-saved campaign.......to find out the local save files have been overwritten by my old campaign files from my steam account. I try deactivating steam saves in the menu and rebooting, to no avail.

In toil and despair, I go through the stages of grief (aka trying everything humanly possible to find a non-existent backup / pouring a whiskey). I finally accept the disappearance of my new campaign, and restart my game from the beginning on my switch. I finally land on the beach, and go to save. Being extra careful, I enable steam saves, and double check that prompt I mentioned before.

Well, it turns out if you press A, it uploads your switch saves. However, if you press B, it OVERWRITES local saves with your steam cloud saves. Unfortunately for me, I also have an Xbox (my usual console of choice), which has the A and B buttons reversed compared to the switch controller. I am so confident that I just mixed up my buttons on a single press, resulting in the erasure of my local saves. I realize this is technically my fault, but it would be REALLY helpful if this prompt was a little less easy to mess up! Yes, I know that I pressed the wrong button. But having only a half inch between cross save bliss and total campaign annihilation seems a little flawed, too.

Larian - I love you! I will play your games until my eyes pop out and Ifan gives me little kisses on the forehead. Please please please make this prompt more obvious for others! I feel the void has cursed me this day.

Signed,

Did you find a solution for this issue?

Mine started occurring infrequently in Act 2, maybe once towards the end of the act, turned into 10 or so times in Act 3 and now in Arx it happens constantly.

Clearing Levelcache and deleting old saves works for a little but the issue always returns.
The amount of save files doesn't seem to be the issue because when it's working I can quicksave 30+ times with no issue. However when the crashes start occurring I need to delete levelcache and saves in order to be able to save again.
Tested nearly all fixes I've found online, I've even reinstalled the game.

Steamcloud disabled.
Created new profile and moved saves.
Disabled Onedrive (Uninstalled)
No AV
Lowered inventory size
No mods except bedroll and 8 AP from giftbag
Lowered settings
Lowered total save count

Another thing I've noted is that when enabled any other feature from the giftbag the game is guaranteed to crash on the next save, so I can't enable anything else.

I'm over 100 hours into my first playthrough and this is just so frustrating. Never had anything like this in BG3.

It was the version on mod.io https://mod.io/g/baldursgate3/m/impui#description

Do you mean Gandrel? You meet him outside and should speak to him before entering Auntie Ethels Teahouse. Never heard about such a bug with him? But based on what you've described and the fact that the Vettel no longer appears, your game seems to be quite buggy or that you haven't explored her lair thoroughly enough.

In Baldur's Gate 3, you have to be extremely careful with this kind of approach! It backfires more often than you might think! I've seen so many complaints where suddenly your own camp has become completely hostile, and then on top of that in Honor Mode...

Hi everyone. Me and my friends have just started playing a few weeks ago, with me on my macbook, the host on their PC, and our friend on his PS5. I constantly and consistently keep getting disconnected, and I don't know what to do. I've followed all the advice online. We've all turned off autosave and cross save and enabled cross play. It doesnt work even if I use an ethernet connection. We've tried changing hosts and this still happens. I've tried playing with and without a VPN and it still happens. I dont have private relay on on my mac either. It also happens even if I launch from steam or directly from the app file and log in through larion. Please provide any advice or fixes that have worked for you guys, cause I got no idea what to do.
