Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Patch 8 - "EXAMINE" feature causing a hard crash

As of Patch 8 the "EXAMINE" feature is now causing a hard crash to desktop on Vulkan API. On a rare occasion it might even crash the display drivers, requiring a complete system restart.

I tested this on different NPCs on the Nautiloid during the prologue and some NPCs in ACT I.

Might have something to do with the new UI improvements.

Yeah, same thing happens for me. No matter what I'm trying to examine, instantly crashes the game.

Only happens on Vulkan. Switching to DX11, examine works normally. Not optimal but a workaround.

Still an issue, even after latest Patch 8 and Hotfix 26. Whenever I examine anything (NPC, door, book, item, etc.), the game crashes and have to re-start. Annoying, as for some creatures and items, helps to know what damage type to use. But at least the resting issues are fixed (can now use items for rest without crashing the game).
