Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Game lagging and crashing in Act 3 after patch #4

Hi adventurers ! I've a quest ! Help me to fix my game plz

My problem :
The game was running fine up until Act 3 then game suddently started having those weird delays starting from companions randomly stopping to follow, not being to interact with stuff until you realize the game is kind of "buffering" then after a while everything returns normal ... until you move around again.
I have finished the game in multiple playthroughs before without any problems.


Details :
- Windows 10
- GC : AMD RX 6750 // CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 5800 3.40 GHz // 32 RAM
- My CPU and my GC runs normaly when it happen


What i've tried :
- Clear the caches
- Uninstall
- Check the integrity files
- DX diagnostic
- Drivers
- Windows update
- Prays all the gods
- Kill a virgin goat


There is someone who have finish act3 since patch 4 without any problems ? Or maybe someone who can tell me if they are aware about it ?

Thanks for your time and sorry for my english, have nice day

No i had to push my self to finish my difficulty feedback videos.
After patch 4 even with a rtx4080 I have the same experience especially with the fight around the elder brain. It was horrible experience like Lord of the rings Gollum lvl.
I can't believe after 4000 pages of patch notes we need to play this.

Having similar issue. Game crash if I attempt to save in act 3 lower city. It crashed when I am in the cutscene where we done saving Ravengard from the underwater prison as well.

i found a temporany solution for PC 3,i finish all run without any issue

I just returned from working away and never had any problems with the game before but when I ran it after the patch the game crashes randomly all the time, sometimes after 5 mins sometimes after 1 hour, I spent most of the day trying to fix it, updating the GPU driver, Dxdiag, RAM speed etc etc. then I spotted a random post on Reddit, "solved crashes by reseting the graphics in game", so I tried this and low & behold it worked longer than ever before! Why finally made it smoother was disabling any boost overclock of the GPU , thats not me overclocking it but it's by default, using Asus GPU Tweak I lowered that completely, the memory clock by 1000 & the voltage up 10%. I probably don't need all of these but the game was crashing so much I was desperate, even on boot! However for some reason after it does crash resetting the graphics settings in game seems to make it stable.

I hope that helps..

Everyone knows act 3 is a mess, larian announced a patch that is supposed to be coming later this week.

Found this from Larian:

“In Patch 4 we introduced a fix that would prevent the Scrying Eyes in Moonrise Towers from immediately calling the guards on you when stealing, even if you were sneaking, or invisible for example. This fix had the unintended consequence of causing unnoticed thefts & acts of vandalism to remain stuck forever within the ‘did anyone see me’ pipeline, rather than timing out and moving on, as is intended. Essentially, your ‘DM’ – in a real-world sense – constantly thinks about the acts of theft & violence the player keeps doing, without ever moving on or verbalising them. Mulling on it ad infinitum.

These unnoticed and eternally-active acts of theft & violence eventually bogged down the game. The more a player commits those acts, the more the game is trying to keep that all up to date and in memory, and so the more slowdowns start happening. Essentially, the ‘DM’ eventually becomes unable to operate. By Act 3 this caused slow-down issues, which after some sleuthing we’re extremely happy to say we’ve solved in Patch 5, which is in testing and scheduled to release this week.”

They already Talked about this at Least..
And 1 Moderator Here that actually work for then Told us another day that the New Patch 5 would Come at the end of this Week.
Maybe Tomorrow or at Least Day 1 will Drop.
They always Drop there updates Next to the end of the Week and especially when the Month its starting..
So fingers Crossed that This Time im Maybe able to finally finish my stucked runs and move on forever from this Game..
Becouse for Real..
im Done with there incompetence and the disappointment its already So Big.. that i really dont care anymore for any new stuff they wish or Plan for this Game..
i Just Want it Running so i can Finish my stuff and Say Good Bye to Larian forever.

(And i dont beleave i will ever Buy anything they Made again.. for real.)
