Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Custom mode on pre-Patch 5 profiles

Just wondering, is it intended that any character profiles started before Patch 5 cannot change the difficulty to Custom Mode? My friend and I were hoping to switch to it on our 100+ hour playthroughs to at least use the "full heal on short rest" option, but it doesn't come up at all (neither does Honor Mode, but that makes more sense to keep to new games only.) I just want to know if Custom Mode is for completely new character profiles only, or we're experiencing a glitch across both our games. Thank you.

I really do hope this is a glitch. I have a looong time left before my current play through is done and I want to be able to change the difficulty. If this is working as intended it's a real bummer for existing players that have invested several hundreds of hours in a play through and wont be able to use one of the best implementations in the game since release IMO.

I'm pretty disappointed in not being able to switch to this new difficulty in old saves as well! I hope that changes eventually. (or gets fixed if it was unintended).
