Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Unable to save or quicksave, mid-dialogue error

Greetings and THANK YOU for all of the hard work put into this. I've had a great time solving puzzles, trying out different choices, and more.

I've run into a problem, though. I'm not in a conversation, not buffs/debuffs are on my characters and I can no longer manually Save through the ESC menu, nor quicksave the game. When attempting to quicksave, I get the "mid-dialogue save has been disabled while functionality is worked on" message. Somehow I think the game believes I'm in a conversation, but I cannot find this to be the case. I've slept overnight at a camp, talked to other people, party members, and changed the current map by entering caves, etc., in an attempt to reset this.

Any ideas?

Kindest regards,

Silencer

I submitted a bug report through the feedback link in the game launcher. I included additional details, including confirmation that Hotfix 1 is applied. I also attached the most recent autosave. I am horrified that the last save was nearly three hours ago...

I was having the same issue, and even my previous saves and starting a new game had the same problem. Was using the DirectX11 option from the launcher. Switched it back to Vulcan and it seemed to fix the issue (for now... have to go work so havent tested it further).
Try switching what you're using on launch and see if it fixes for you 👍

Thank you, was running Vulkan and just switched to DX11 to see if that changes anything.

Now that I think about it, I suspect the devil cutscene might be locked in conversation.

On Stadia there is no way to avoid this bug, I had to close and restart.

My issue was right in the middle of the Goblin Camp. Was getting so confused because I was doing everything fine. Happened first when I tried to kill the sleeping drunk goblins. Now that I'm able to save again (and potentially know the fix), going to try again tonight to see if I can force the problem so I can report it and a fix.
