I have tried a lot of things.
Validate files
Lower graphic settings
Dx11
Vulcan
Launching in admin

But still happens every time. I click to go to baldurs gate, it runs the cut scene, then loads to 67% and crashes.

Just uninstalled and reinstalled. Still same thing.

I have a 4080 founders. Game ran fine til this point. 178 hours in total. 89 hours in the last 2 weeks. ZERO crashes til now. this new patch messed up a lot. please tell me how to roll back. I am on Steam.

Here are some loom videos of my crashes with different options.

Starting to think it is my saved game. I loaded my save onto Geforce NOW. It crashes there too. Same exact place.

I have found that the game will crash continually at times if I use the launcher, also the launcher shows I have zero saves. If I use the .exe the game will launch 100% of the time and show all saves (there is an obvious incompatibility with launcher and the .exe method (.exe shows 2 unique chests in camp, launcher shows only one chest, wtf Larian).

I have tried adding --skip-launcher to the start options of the launcher.

To report issues to Larian, the process is to submit a bug report on the support section of their website. The "Report a Bug" link along the top of the game launcher will take you to the right place.

These forums are more useful for seeing if other players have had the same problem or have found workarounds.

I put in an official bug report support ticket several days ago. Multiple prong approach. I know sometimes the devs peruse these forums. Also, if I make enough of a ruckus it will be seen. My play-through of 90 hours is completely blocked and I am not happy. Things were well prior to this previous patch. I am hoping that come Monday there is another hotfix to fix a lot of the issues this current patch introduced. This was a step backward, not forward.

The bug report to Larian is definitely the way to draw their attention and get the problem properly logged and tracked. I'm afraid bumping your post here isn't going to push the problem up Larian's priority list, just spam other forum members' Active Posts feed which is why we request that people don't do it.

I do hope for your sake that there is a fix soon, or that someone else might have had a similar issue and found a workaround.

Doing another play-through while waiting for Larian to fix my current one. I am noticing a lot of differences from when I played originally. Performance and glitches that were not present.

Any news on when the big patch is coming? or ETA on when Larian normally responds to bug tickets?

I am having the same issue. Crashes at 67% every time. I have tried clearing caches, running on LQ, HQ, everything. I have an Intel UHD 640 that was running the game fine on Ultra settings.

I think it might be a glitch causing a DirectX crash. I had the same thing happen to me when trying to cross into Mountain Pass, I ended up going thru UD without a crash and went into Mountain Pass backwards. That's when I got cut scenes about Mountain Pass. Then I was able to enter thru the way that had previously causes crashes without a crash. It seems like the game is trying to load multiple cut scenes at the same time.

Are you in a romance with Lae'Zel by chance? It seems like it's her romance cut scenes that might be causing issues for me. And is Halsin in your camp? He disappeared from mine. Not sure if it's trying to load a cut scene for him as well or not.

Exact same for me. Submitted a bug report with my save.

We have the same issue, we have tried to reload to a previous save, do things different, try to progress characters that we haven't talked to, but nothing frown. As soon as we trigger the loading screen to move to the act 3, it crashes
