Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Anyone Else Having This Game-breaking Bug After Hotfix 12? [SOLVED]

Greetings,

I started a new game with Patch 5 and am running into an issue trying to camp. I'll try to include as many details as possible. When I camped with my party for the first time at level 3 - I was able to select end the day. it then goes through the Raphael cutscene and dialogue. Following that, I am unable to leave camp. Of note:
1. Campfire/sleeping bags unresponsive when clicking on them.
2. Attempting to fast travel fails the message 'Unable to fast travel' shows on both the map, and the fast travel icon on the upper right of the screen.
3. Dismissing party members and trying to leave alone does not work. Neither does re recruiting folks.
4. Party is level 3 with no outstanding level ups to process.

I'd like to continue my playthrough if possible. Going to previous saves yields the same result when attempting to camp. So as of now my party cannot refresh or use the camp function.

I have had the same issue ever since I updated the game with patch 5. I have tried reinstalling the entire game, verifying the games files, updated all my drivers and so on and so forth.

All of the crashes I experienced with Patch 5 have been fixed by Hotfix 12, but I'm now having an entirely different set of issues that I honestly consider to be game-breaking at the moment. Every single time I go to camp and try to do a long rest, select my supplies and click the rest button, the menu disappears and whatever night-time cutscene is queued to play will play, but when my party goes back to where I was before I went to camp, the long-rest supply selecting menu will be back on my screen with no way to close it. If I click 'rest' the game crashes, and I can't do anything else on the screen.

I've noticed this always happens at the default forest camp, and if I'm at a tertiary camp like the owlbear nest or the crypt, there's a 50% chance that the bug won't happen and my party wakes up like normal.

I did a quick look on here and no one else seems to be talking about this bug, is it only happening to me? I literally can't get past the druid's grove because by the time I've killed the harpies I need to do a long rest and regain my spell-slots.

EDIT: FIXED - pre-hotfix Improved UI mod was enabled in my candor manager without me realising, causing the gamebreaking bug. Removing it fixed everything (there is also an updated version of Improved UI on the Nexus that doesn't cause this issue.)

I have not experienced this personally. As a possible workaround, could you fast travel to a different region and do a long rest to recover there? I know you said there's a 50% chance of a crash, but 50% is better than 100%. That might get your spells slots back, though you might have to reload a couple of times.

Oof, I am having the exact same issue, I was not having any problems until the recent Hotfix; However, the game crashes consistently for me regardless of where my party takes a long rest. 0-0

Honestly 50% was probably a bit generous, it happens way more than not even in the other camps. I do try to get to different regions but without spell-slots it's hard to get past some of the mobs that are guarding them. The easiest I would say is the crypt, but only if I pass the skill-checks to persuade the ones guarding it to leave so the fight inside is cut down by half.


I hope they have looked at my numerous bug reports and crash logs since this doesn't seem to be happening to many people. I do play with a few mods but they're cosmetic (hair and clothing) so I don't see why they would affect the long-rest system, especially since they had no impact pre-hotfix. They're all compatible with Patch 5.

Same issue here.

Same here, it makes the game unplayable. Since patch 4 I've had bugs and issues that literally prevent me from playing the game. It makes me sad

I'm having the same issue. I can't clear the supplies screen. No keystrokes or mouse clicks seem to work.

Really glad it isn't just me, though that doesn't help us in the long run. Hopefully you have been sending your crash reports too?

I love this game but the last two patches have been hell for me. Now it's literally unplayable. I have two issues. The spell menu that never goes away, that's a known issue but still damn annoying. Second is being unable to leave after a long rest at the default camp. I can't interact with the fire or bedrolls and the the game is just stuck there.

I've tried to search for solutions and nothing works. Please help!

Similar problem here. I get stuck constantly after resting in the camp. The supplies menu remains open after returning to the "battlefield", and the menu is not dismissable nor anything else could be done.

I had the same problem. It is due to the Improved UI Mod. I actually started a new game so I could play, removing all my mods and it worked great. Looks like there’s an update to the mod that fixes the problem, though I haven’t tested it yet.

Cheers

Oh my word that was it! The update to the UI Mod fixes the bug:)

I just logged on to add onto this thread that I had found the exact same thing! I had remnant's of the old version of Improved UI in my candor manager and it was messing everything up, removing it fixed everything.
