Larian Studios Forums Active Threads Since Yesterday

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.

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.

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)

This should now be resolved after today's fix, please make sure to update your game and check if you can now progress!

Unless WotC changed that, a superinfection with a new tadpole would either be just a regular brain eater who wouldn't need to adapt (but maybe would refuse "cannibalising" the remains of the Absolute tadpoles), or - given the outcome of the game - a new Absolute tadpole in the sense that it would act like the ones we see in the game. Unfortunately, I don't know many of the endings and also don't want to given the potential chance of another playthrough.

The normal ceremorph, according to "The Illithiad" (2e), states that Gnolls, as well as Gith, humans, M-sized goblinoids, grimlocks and elves would be turned into mind flayers, while unacceptable hosts (Halflings, all dwarves, gnomes, centauroids, giant-kin, Kuo-Toa,...) turn into a variety of monsters or simply die during the metamorphosis. This also fits to the Absolute tadpoles being different.

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.

Sadly the game is completely busted on Mac at the moment.

Was unstable before, but the combination of Patch 7/8 and MacOS Tahoe has made it utterly unplayable. Freezes most of the time before cutscenes and entering dialogues with spinning wheel of death.

I've read a lot of user comments about this issue and tried most things, however there is one thing I cannot try and that is disabling firewall/antivirus that could be causing conflicts (I'm using a work laptop without certain admin privileges). If you are able to give this a go and report back I'd be interested to see if it works.

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.

And gratefully here it is: College of Moon - Bard Subclass

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?

Having the same issue! Game gets the rainbow wheel of death when entering dialogue or cutscenes. Happens about 80% of the time.

Mac M1 Pro
16GB memory
MacOS Tahoe 26.2

I've tried everything suggested in all the forums; tried all settings at low (even though I get 60 fps on high), toggled all video settings in almost every permutation, tried fullscreen/borderless window, tried a clean chache/save/reinstall, I tried the "renice" command in terminal, I tried playing offline, I tried disabling cloud sync etc etc.

Nothing works. And the thing is, when I first got the game in January 2024 I played through the whole thing with this exact Mac on high settings without a single crash — so it's not a hardware issue.

I wish Larian would give some indication that they're aware of this because it's completely unplayable.

ever get an update on this? came back to play and im experiencing it too. pretty sure I also helped shadow and lae make the peaceful decision but so far my 5 most recent saves all kill lae'zel

Late player, my fault, but I actually feel to say something about dialogue lines: I wish there could still be a chance to better/correct some of them, that I found totally out of mood/situation. Minthara and the artifact apart (never met her, but I red a lot about that problem), many lines/answers from the characters are clearly not adapted according to the story evolution, most probably left for generic companion situations; especially Astarion's ones, who always result to be the more complicated: many of his random responses don’t really fit the romance, if you have one, like if you accept Raphael contract or the mindflyer tadpole. Certainly not expected, at that point of the game and kind of unsetting. I'm not the only one who noticed, it seems. Probably there are others, with other companions or in other situation, that I didn't see, yet (I'm checking).
A real shame, even if I understand that it's a huge game, but I see the team always cared about players feedback, so please... don't stop fixing such details, they're the beauty of the game.
