Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems *Spoilers* Sneak Attack Auntie Ethel Black Screen

Just tried to lay a sneak assassination (while using a invisible potion) on the hag of the big bad bog hag while she was in her human form in the Save Mayrina quest but as soon as I dealt the damage, the screen cut to black. The battle music started but while the cursor was still available and audio still playing, there was no way for me to tell what was happening.

Reloaded and successfully pulled it off - but thought best to report it just in case.

ive not had this problem with the hag in particular. But i have had this problem when engaging enemies in sneak attacks/ambushes which were supposed to have a cutscene. For me it happened several times with the goblins surrounding the gnome on the windmill. I wanted to ambush them instead of conversing, but as soon as i initiated combat on the named goblin it tried to cut to a cutscene, music came on for battle, and the screen just faded to black.

I'd like to add i've had the same problem with a certain enemy in a certain cave that causes a cutscene halfway in the fight when he gets to about half health.

I've noticed that if you skip this cutscene too fast (spamming space) you sometimes go back to combat while the screen stays black. you can actually input commands and the battle continues but since you can't see anything i usually force close the game.

I never reported this bug ingame since it doesn't cause a direct crash so you never get the crash input screen.
