Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Settings Reset After Crashing

Game was working fine for the first week after launch, then yesterday it crashed, right afterward my settings were all back to default. Played the game for 10 minutes, another crash, and another settings reset.

I updated my vid drivers today, and so far the game appears to be stable after several hours of play. Some interesting things have happened tho, such as I noticed that I now have 3 travellers chests in my camp, all different colors and all of them have the bonus items from twitch giveaways along with the dye sets.

My saves seem to be intact.

I guess I should say.. thanks for the crashes?

I've noticed the same thing happening since Hotfix 3. However, mine is tied to being unable to load any save files made since Hotfix 3 as well. The game crashes when I try to load a save. Sometimes that crash also resets all settings - including presenting all the "first run" popups such as the nudity preference, cross-save preference, etc. Not sure if they're related, but the one common denominator seems to be Hotfix 3.

The vid drivers didnt fix it, still crashing.

I've found that I have to delete the profile files, but not the save games in them. This will reset all your game settings and if you are using a mod manager, you'll have to resave your modlist.
