Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Xbox Series X bugs and Resolution for ACT 2 Astarion/Raphael quest bug

I thought to make up a new thread for Xbox X bugs and quirks as I've watched them increase quite a bit this last week.

* Minthara should be fixed in the next hotfix when that gets to the console
but recap ACT 3 spoilers in her conversation, not following the group in Act 2.

* Green Graphics on cutscenes particularly on dark scenes I was wondering why I had yellowy green veins on my body when both me and the character are High elves.
tried adjusting it on settings and they wouldn't go away it was significantly green on the Thisobald conversation.

*Still has the turns in fights are super slow and the fight hangs on an enemies move even with small amount of enemies such as Zombie Caravan

*Major Quest Bug --- Raphael ,Yurgir and Astarion : this is the first time its been noticed by me but I believe its an older bug
1) spoke to Raphael in last light Astarion gave him his request
2) Encountered Raphael at the mausoleum he didn't react at all to Astarion
instead the Pale elf quest defaulted to Raphael left without
telling him his answer and on to Baldurs Gate after killing Yurgir.
3) Now being pretty much on top of the quest routes I know this can lead
to unfavourable outcomes if you are following the romance route.

Resolution : I split Astarion off of the group on a save at the House of Healing approached Raphael on his own the quest clicks into place to have his scars read if he kills Yurgir.


* Lower city crash to console when I used the central clock tower waypoint.

* Tattoos and facial animations a bit Pixely and tattoos appear smeared across the characters faces in animated scenes (bunch of graphic bugs going on)

New Bugs 11/3/24

Thought I'd just add in a few more I've noticed on Xbox hopefully a few more people will eventually add their own so it won't get lost among the technical pages.

* still got the awful green colour in the graphics where it was predominantly in dark scenes it has now begun to affect
day light scenes particularly just after the Tiefling Party

*Managed to trigger Karlachs romance on another character after a complete no show on another character her first scene didn't play at all but this time around her cutscene did trigger it has a lot of yellow lighting breaking through the darkness

(if by any chance anyone may know a way to fix this temporarily please let me know)

*Yesterday I was getting an awful lot of ground clipping my characters not gnomes or dwarves by the way looking at Shadowheart , Astarion getting stuck in the Bridge shadow lands where the Githyanki attack the top 3 steps either side when going up and over was doing a great quick sand impression.

* destruction of the Goblin Camp after Dror Ragzlin death hit an annoying issue where again turns are left hanging on the enemy side the guards stood stock still fixing their health to full for a while. Pity at that level I couldn't 1 shot them. they eventually reacted though.

*Mountain Pass Githyanki Patrol and Dragon the whole scene was frozen and I walked past with ease on 2 different characters which I do not mind I get to admire the dragon close up but pretty sure thats a not supposed to happen.
12 games on the go here.

*attack animations not working on Astarion in particular both bow and dual weapons/Offhand It seems to be more predominant on Astarion though a couple of other animations have not shown up on other characters.(could be to do with whatever is going on in the fight scenes though)

Only thing I’ve noticed recently are more crashes when loading the game. On my unit seems to only affect the first load attempt after the console has been shut off. Doesn’t seem to matter how console is powered down or whether I exited the game or not. Very random but definitely more frequent lately.
About half the time reload takes me back to the screens (EUA etc) that you are only supposed to get after first installing the game.

I keep encountering companion bugs

Act 2--

Wyll was doing an impression of Minthara for the last couple of days where he will not follow the party and had a permanent quest marker above his head.

LaeZael had a go at me about the creche on the move into act 3 about not visiting it however the blood of lathander was very much in my bags .

Leap of Faith trial still has missing footpath (may be fixed with the latest update I will see later)

Gale repeating the cheeks flushed conversation twice.

Astarion wasn't picked up by Raphael again luckily I had resolved this in a previous game by walking up to him as Astarion .

Scratch - was running around with bags in his mouth but no quest.


Act 3

House of Grief crash to console mid battle.

This is very consistent on mine as well, quick resuming guarantees a crash after about 30 seconds and crashes consistently reset those first time load-in screens. As a workaround I've been shutting down the game every time I finish a session, that at least prevents the crashes and first time load-in screen reset from happening as frequently.

Another thing I’ve noticed is frequently after a crash the first time I load a new game the background sound effects from the “Bhaal’s Temple main menu” continue to play regardless of which setting my save was in. So in effect two background sound effects are playing at the same time. This is reliably fixed by returning to main menu and reloading. This only ever happens on first load after crash.
