Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Spotted bugs after patch 3. Please contribute spotted bugs in your own run.

Here's what I've seen:

- Strange Ox transforms the moment I enter Last Light Inn in Act 2 for the first time. Kills all NPC's in sight, and then despawns - this is usually just Dammon, but that breaks Karlach's quest.

-Trade glitch.

-Full game crash, graphical error code, will update what it is next time.

-Harper Scouts dialogue before Harpers/Shadows fight scene triggers very early, making it impossible to save the Harper Scouts. (I was about 50m away from the NPC's in question).

-Key to WIndmill Cellar door in Act 1 seems to have vanished on a separate playthrough.

Got a new one yesterday, the fight with Gut didn't end, had to flee combat. In addition, all goblins turned hostile, because I killed a guard. That never happened before, no idea if it is bugged or was actually fixed and works now as designed.

SH swimming scene still not triggering. I get the dialogue mentioning we might want to go for a swim, but after that no cutscene, and then in dialogues she assumes we went (but in Sharess Caress she still says our first time should be special so who knows...). If I reload earlier saves and rest enough, sooner or later I get dialogues that assume we went, but I never even got the dialogue before going. Who knows what is going on with that situation XD

Mixed dialogues/flags firing wrong strings. Examples:
- After freeing SH parents when Tav talks to the companions about the event Astarion says to Tav: "Enjoy your life with permanent pain", as if addressing SH.
- Wyll, who refused to give up his soul for his father, in the dialogue with him after the Iron Throne referred to as if he did sacrifice his soul. "You gave up your soul for me!" + description in minds-link.
- After saving Gondian families in the Iron Throne and informing Gondians in the Steel Watch Foundry about it, Toobin thanks you, yet, moments later, before the explosion is set, he suddenly cries that everyone is dead and later informs Woobren he is the only one left and Gondians are no more.

I am sure there is more, but the point is - flags got wild.

I wonder if some of these have to do with mods? I'm not getting a lot of this stuff. The strange ox, for instance, is working normal for me.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the door issue yet. There are certain doors where you can't click past them because the open/shut door icon appears. So you have to turn the camera to walk through or edge pan past the door to click through or close the door, then open it again to click through. It's only certain doors throughout.

Some bugs could be caused by mods... but a lot of people seem to have problems in an unmodded game.

Another one I found, I couldn't interact with the orb in the hags lair, had to reload after that you could click on it.

Actually I did notice that. ADDITIONALLY those doors blocked Player Controlled Characters from firing projectiles or spells past them.

On PC. No Mods.

1) Bite scene with Astarion has Tav standing inside of Astarion after the bite, so when they talk their eyes are crazy all over the place trying to maintain "eye" contact.

2) Some nude scenes are still showing the characters wearing clothes/underwear even with nudity turned on.

3) Going to camp in the cellar with the Necromancy of Thay put me in a camp with no traveller's chest. Resorted to a previous save and camped somewhere else.


4) Different playthrough, Gale is still mad about taking the deal with Raphael even though I turned him down flat.

5) At the final battle, owlbear turned up for final fight cutscene, but wasn't available to summon during the actual fight.

6) Occasional dialogues in various scene's cuts off early/skips ahead even though no keys were pressed.

7) After saving Lae'zel from Orin's sacrificial table she became a permanent "summon" of Gale (who released her). Could not talk to her or dismiss her, could not add her to party or talk to her in camp (she stood at Gale's tent, not her own), could not manage her inventory but could direct her in battle (Exactly like a summoned pet). Sided with the Emperor and she got the ! over her head to talk to her (I"m assuming she was trying to storm off/leave because Orpheus got eaten by the Emp), but still couldn't talk to her. Finished the game with her in the final battle punching everything with that ! over her head the whole time. She was not in the final cutscene though, as though she had already left the party/group. TBF, it was the happiest I was with her during this whole playthrough. =D This bug I reported to Larion

8) 50% of the time, when I pass the deception check with the Gith at the bridge with Lae'zel, they still react like I failed and attack. This bug I reported to Larion.

The Folk Hero inspiration that you get for saving Barcus at the windmill doesn't trigger for me.

shadowheart's character portrait has white hair even though i just started this new playthrough and i'm still in the grove.

I don't keep up with the Twitter. Has there been any news of a hot fix incoming? A few of these bugs are game-breaking.

I've never seen the portrait update after she dyes it (not before or after this patch, it's always been black for me, lol).

Found another odd one. On my Dark Urge playthrough, I am unable to loot the Flind warlord that's outside the cave with the two caravan guards in Act 1. WIndow pops up and closes again immediately. Save and reload fixed it, but still really annoying.

Nothing has been said about it.

Patch 3 seems to have broken DUrge’s ending choices in certain circumstances.

The door problem has been so incredibly annoying. But yes, I did notice it immediately because of how I play. I usually use the open doorway to click through into the next room. Now I'm shutting and opening doors constantly.

But I'm far more frustrated by Mizora being bugged at the bridge to Lower City. I believe this caused Ravengard to be dead in the Iron Throne. I fear if I try to go back and replay all the content I did since the inauguration, nothing will fix this until Mizora is fixed.

Dammon is still dying to the jelly right at the beginning of act 2 (passing arcana or failing checks in act one with the cow means nothing, moo)... 1 or 2 companions will stop following at jumps or if they think they'll take 1 point of damage (yay early access bugs for the win). Can't save, bug not fixed (unless you jump through hoops to avoid it after merchants). These 3 bugs occur with mods or without mods installed, none of these occurred till patch 3.

Still getting issues with Inventory lag in PS5.
More frequent crashes resulting in bug reports on the PS5 console and reload.

New error when I'm now at end game. I really hope I don't have to start all over again.

"Warning! The save game has detected tampering or corruption. It is strongly advised that you do not continue on this savegame".

So the hotfix didn't patch most of the biggest issues (lower city crashing and Dammon death) . Here's hoping there is another hotfix incoming.

1. Cinematic Nudity enabled, however characters wearing underwear during romance cinematics, where in previous runs (before patch 3) characters were nude, as intended.

2. Gale still heaved over with no indication over his head that he is in need of first artifact, and then reacts as if you've been ignoring the fact that he needs one.

3. After giving Gale artifact #2 and going through the dialogue about it not having the same effect as the first, once conversation ends, there is an exlamation point over his head and when I click on him, the exact same conversation plays regarding artifact #2 not having same effect.

4. Teeth texture missing when pulling Gale from stone. Character looks like they have a black abyss in their mouth. Tried with and without mods. Same thing.

5. Considerably more lag and stuttering, even without entering cave where the statues are by Druid's grove.

6. Gale very angry and still acting as if we have signed a contract with Raphael, when in fact, we haven't even met with them or seen them in Act 3. This always seems to trigger after being confronted by Lich Queen at camp.

-- Found another, as I have 2 current playthroughs going --

At the camp event scene where Astarion is tracing the scars on his back, the correct stance should be his back facing out, his fingers tracing the scars while you hear him saying what he feels. However now, he is just standing, facing Tav, motionless, but still acting as if he is tracing the scars.
