Larian Studios Forums Active Threads Since Yesterday

Gog has the current build which is now 4.1.1.7151330 but you can of course roll back

I can tell you,In my case.... that since larian update on 2/16, regardless of whether using Steam Launcher or starting the game from the bg3.exe , my Game still been constant crashes Until now...

What Foolish update.....

By the way, this is my playtime statistics.....[img]https://ibb.co/ycHyLMDj[/img]

This may not fix your issues but it permanently fixed very similar symptoms for me. In my case, newer Alienware Laptop very similar to your specs except Nvidia GPU. Never had an issue before. But once I started playing BG3 on this system started to see the very random flashing black screens that I never had before. I finally found a thread that discussed certified video cables and because they were only about $20 each I bought them on Amazon and installed them as soon as I got them. Never had a flashing black screen ever again. BTW before that I even replaced the cables with the cheap junk I usually buy just to save money. The cables made all the difference in the world for me. Hope this helps. Again, the key was high performance certified video cables and I never looked back.

I have this exact same bug. I'm in Act 3, have already spoken to her in the sewers, and off she went on her merry way.

Quest is still stuck on "check up on arabella" and she's gone from the sewers.

Never had crashes prior to the recent hot"fix" patch but now all my saves are crashing right when they reach 100% loading. PC/Steam modded and unmodded saves. I've gone through all the "fixes" I've found: cleaning cache, verifying files, I've even reinstalled the game twice in the past week.

Please update on when these bugs from the recent hotfix will be addressed.

Good catch! Ich weiß nicht ob Larian das noch selber nachbessert, aber wir haben eine kleine deutschsprachige Modding community, die eine kontinuierliche Verbesserung an der deutschen Übersetzung vornimmt. Hilfreich wären auf jeden Fall Screenshots und Detailangaben für die Ausbesserung z. B. wo genau das zu finden ist (bin zwar selber Erfurter und mir wäre es auch direkt ins Auge gestochen, aber ich bin bisher nie über Akt 1 hinaus gekommen). ;-)

If you have the Japan version, that could be the cause. It has no crossplay because of censorship.

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

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.

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.





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.





Very well said, too.

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:

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.

Also experiencing this issue with the PS5 version.

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.
