Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Game crashing on long rest - Patch 5 - no mods

I just started having this crash as well. Whenever I try to long rest, the game crashes. I knocked out Minthara instead of killing her. I suppose I can go back and murder her in her sleep and see if that fixes it, but it'd be a shame, since trying to keep her alive was a big part of wanting to play the game again.

I get the second "Guardian" dream sequence where the guardian points you to Moonrise towers, then the 'Ahhh' sound as if I'm rested, then the game crashes to desktop.

EDITED: I can confirm, I went back and killed the unconscious Minthara, and the game was able to progress past the long rest.

Well, that's just annoying. Guess I'm putting this playthrough on ice until Larian patches this.

The workaround is long resting at Mountain Pass. You miss the tiefling party. Hope they fix it soon, but almost two weeks later it's still bugged.

There was a reddit thread from 4 months ago that had a similar problem, so it could have been bugged for awhile. I wouldn't count on it to be fixed immediately unless it gets to be a popular issue, so use the workaround if you're itching to play.

Think I'll double back to before I went into the Goblin Camp and clear the map first, see if I can progress stuff and 'clear out' whatever is creating a conflict in the long rest stack.

Deffo different issue some how. But resolved by just not long resting until Mountain Pass
