Re: Cross-Save Not There PS5 daxtxad 21 minutes ago
If you have the Japan version, that could be the cause. It has no crossplay because of censorship.

Re: ACT 2/3 Softlock bug - Stuck in Wyrm's Lookout, unable to progress to Act 3 Hartsonot 1 hour ago
The recent hotfix has made the game unplayable for many people across platforms- issues include drop in FPS, saves not loading, frequent crashing, multiplayer not working, etc. These issues are expressed all over reddit and on this forum. I myself have sent in 2 bug reports to Larian and haven't heard back yet. Any update from Larian at least acknowledging an issue would be very helpful

Re: Can not fly anymore... Tav'ith'sava 4 hours ago
Where did you get the ability to fly from? Did you unequip a magic item or change your spells? Did you equip armour that interferes with spell casting? Some context would help.

Re: Divinity needs to learn from BG3 Romance Problems Halycon Styxland 9 hours ago
Yeah, dont get me started on realism in BG3 romances.

For example if men pulled what Gale pulls in this night scene with other men, they would get beaten up. A LOT.

In some cases this is much worse. [...] For women who’ve personally experienced men assuming that just because they’ve been nice they deserve sex, this is a nasty part of the real world they don’t want in their games. Or at least, many of them don’t.

All this could be made much more appropriate by simply doing one thing, giving us clear dialogue choices clear. [...]

Personally I kind of like Lae’zel being the start of the relationship, but not only is it not for everyone, I’ve heard of multiple people who don’t want to play BG3 simply because all the romance options happen all the time. It makes people uncomfortable and turns them off. [...]

I'm also personally frustrated with games that gate content behind building a romantic relationship with certain characters, I think mass effect and dragons age largely did this right, as you don't have to have a romantic or sexual relationship with your companions to dig into their character or learn about them as a person and they clearly mark the dialogue options that go down that path.

First of all, awesome OP !

Yes the romances in BG3 suck BIG TIME. I'm not surprised some people wont play the game just because of the obnoxious romances.

As I've said before, they should give us the option to disable romances. I would immediately enable that and never turn it off again.

Personally I always romance Karlach ASAP - not because I want to, but simply to shut everybody else up. There is nothing I like about that romance, but she's the by far most likeable of the female options. Admittedly a very low bar, considering the other two are essentially pure evil.

But realistically I play Halfling and the most I would maybe romance is Gnome, but really typically another Halfling. And yes, I also sometimes play Half Woodelf. Then thats less of an issue. Those are the only two races I really play.

I also always play female now. Mainly because female faces are better. But also for example because then Gale's scene isnt as over the top uber creepy if you are female. Still creepy and invasive, just not as much.

I also dont like that everyone is bisexual. Realistic would be one bisexual, one homosexual. Then again, given how narrow the choices are, and how the game forces me to play females, its a good thing that Karlach is bisexual and I can romance her as a female.

This applies to both friendships and romance, but is more egregious for romance.

Very well said, too.

Re: Corrupted Save Files Fix shadowkhn 10 hours ago
Win 11, Steam, 4.1.1.7151330, no mods.
Severe stuttering issues after latest patch from 16.02.2026.
Every time after loading new area or a save file game severely stutters (6-20 fps) for up to 10 seconds, before it becomes playable.
Game files verified, cleared cache, tried both DX11 and Vulkan, updated nvidia drivers, no improvements.
The longer the game stays on, the worse is the problem.
Had no performance issues before recent patch.


PC: 9800x3D, RTX 5070 Ti, 32 gb ram, nvme SSD.
Other people are reporting the same issues on reddit and not only on PC:
https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/1r6r17z/poor_performance_after_latest_patch/
https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/1r7cezi/so_whats_up_with_the_hotfix_making_the_game/

Please allow us to use previous patch of the game through steam, while you are working on the fix.
Curently it is only possible to rollback to patch 7 on steam or even earlier.

I would play a successor to that, too. Right away. But that’s not what I expect Divinity to be.

But for Divinity:

- They don’t pull any punches.
- Romance (yes, I hope so -- BG3 was a massive improvement over what I’ve seen in my first 30 hours of D:OS2 now).
- Hard decisions (and save spamming …).
- A game I can get lost in -- and then find that I actually already played later parts of the story just because I loved exploring (but still have a gripping story).
- Get emotionally invested in the characters.
- A story that incorporates my decisions.

The whole problem is with patch 1.34A - it's for the disc version of the game, and it's impossible to solve your problem with it.

You need to be level 9 to learn Water of Life. If you look at the skillbook descriptions closely some specify a required character level in addition to the required skill level.

Re: BG3 won't even launch new campaign with mods ldo58 Yesterday at 08:47 PM
Have you checked the mod folder with file explorer ? C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods

I know uninstalling from BG3MM sometimes leaves files there, even though they are no longer visible in the interface.
And I think that steam uninstalls don't touch that area. (Though I may be wrong here)

So if you haven(t done that yet, check if all mods have effectively been removed, and then try to install them again.

Re: Game crash while trying to load any save from act 3 (PS5) bouncebanana Yesterday at 06:17 PM
I don't understand how people are saying there's a fix. My game is still crashing at 100% when loading saves. I've seen no updates come through Steam since the game breaking update. Trying to talk Steam into refunding the game now though.

Re: Hotfix #35 Now Live! Version Number: 4.1.1.6995620 Ussnorway Yesterday at 02:55 AM
the post was made in this forum under the heading "Corrupted Save File fix"
https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=960648#Post960648

its not listed as a hotfix [even though it actually is] and there are no notes on changes because its a back end i.e, their sever patch

yes Playstation has known sync issues with it and that sucks to be you if you run into them but on the whole this patch was a good thing... if pushed out the door untested
