Larian Studios Forums Active Threads This Week

Recently started a new vanilla playthrough with my friend, been a while since i played. Got to act 2, using the armor of braccus rex set just for fun on my sebille (not my main charc, companion). When i try to equip the set on my main (Fane), the curse just stays, plus the fact is i can wear the pants without the curse activating, and i can wear the whole set minus the pants on sebille for the curse to dissapate. Would like some help with this issue if possible.

Well, it happened again.
And though I have Wyll's approval rating dropping to zero again, this time I'm playing an oath of tha ancients palladin Tav, and it has no effect on my Palladin oath (luckily)

So glad to receive your reply! Thanks for the compliment.
I wrote this because I was genuinely contemplating how to perceive the coupling between a druid and a chimera. Then, I saw that look of sheer hurt on Gale’s face when he’s asked—at Halsin’s invitation—if he’d be open to a threesome. I thought, why not speak in Gale’s voice? Even though this is absolutely the fault of Tav/The Dark Urge, he’s just a desperate wizard blinded by love and panic. So, lol, it ended up being written this way.

Somewhere someone claims they pulled the Githyanki patrol to Waukeen's Rest, and they got scragged by the flaming fist there.

I ran away from a fight with the patrol, one guy followed me, after a while I thought I'd lure him into Waukeen's since I was almost there. He totaled the place.

YMMV

I’ve been there with games that just randomly crash out of nowhere. From what you’ve described, it really seems like it’s something weirdly specific to BG3 on your setup since other games run fine, so probably not a hardware issue. I’d personally try a couple things before wiping Windows completely: make sure Windows itself is fully updated, then maybe try running the game in a completely clean Windows user profile, disable any background apps like overlays, Discord, Radeon software, or even antivirus temporarily, and test. Another thing that helped me with stubborn CTDs in other games was forcing the game to run in DirectX11 instead of Vulkan, or vice versa, with a clean GPU driver install using DDU (which you did, but sometimes doing it fresh without touching Adrenaline at all helps). Also, I’d check the BG3 config files in Documents/Larian Studios for anything corrupted—sometimes deleting those and letting the game remake them fixes CTDs. If none of that works, yeah, a full Windows reinstall might be the nuclear option, but I’d at least try creating a brand new user and clean install first since that’s faster.

Can confirm on ps5 as well. Started a new play through with all the mods i had installed about two weeks ago, game was running completely fine & smooth at first until reaching the emerald grove.

The game became more unstable the more i played it until i got to act 2, & now my save crashes as soon as it hits 100% upon loading.

went back to an unmodded act 3 save that was concluded, and was still experiencing lag & stutters, not as bad as modded but 100% wasn’t there before the update (2/16).

... it is broken ?

And I would assume that most people at Larian are no longer working on BG3, but something new and exciting.

@ldo58: They didn’t change the ending — I used the Gale solution at the end of Act 3; you were talking about using Gale at the end of Act 2. I would assume the latter doesn’t count as completing Honour Mode, as you’re skipping all of Act 3.

I installed the GOG version of Beyond Divinity and for some reason the config tool can't find the slash1.dll, even though it's present in the game folder. When I try to launch the game regardless, it won't run. Clicking the desktop icon a second time, brings up a window saying the configuration should be reset but no matter what I choose, the game never launches. I even tried installing my old CD copy of the game and update it to 1.4.9 but it still wouldn't launch. Does anyone know what I could do? I'd really like to play the game.

Whilst struggling to keep my thoughts away from a new Larian title, I still checked in here from time to time, read a little bit and got to feeling like I should add a thing or two, but not really having the drive to spawn a whole new thread and not knowing where to head for sure, I shall dump a couple of thoughts on the upcoming title in here:

I am not one to be averse of touchy or taboo subjects on a conceptual level, but I do have some negative reactions that may be disruptive when faced with actual imagery or audio. This is my thought on the large debates on levels of adult content that may (or may not) be in the final title. I understand story situations as they are presented, but I would appreciate at least an option for those of us that can't actually handle too much visual violence and other, not very savory depictions. Try as one might, getting a feeling of illness/sickness well up within cannot be stopped with a mere thought. All I ask is the option to not have to put a good title down for uncontrollable inner reactions reasons. And let others have their, uh... fun.

While the arguments seem to be a little bit heated, especially when thinking back on BG3, I remember one detail most clearly: I fumbled up at one point in the story and decided to press on. The whole story went on and while not much special was said about it in act 3, there was a key thing to note: The characters that died in act 2 because I failed to save Isobel that first playthrough were missing. The story sort of adapted to my blunder, but the game went on. Failure was an option. Didn't feel good to fail, but what did feel important was that there were no real "Game over" moments that were because this or that npc died, but the whole narrative that had to do with them changed. There were a lot of branching paths that felt overall considered at the very least. All that had to be designed and coded and made into game content that not many may even know exists.
This is why I come back here, and stay enthused for the next title in the good old series. Because there will be a lot of options.

The trailer near instantly got me intrigued more on the aspect of the sourcerer (I would assume) being burned alive and thinking back to the shriekers of D:OS2. Got me wondering if we will get more insight into Source as a whole and what it means that suffering can... alter it.

With that said, take care, enjoy life, godspeed!
