But neither Ecc2ca or JandK claimed that nobody else is experiencing bugs. All they said was that the game is working fine for them on their PCs.
But can we agree that it doesn't help my problem that it works well for them?!
A few minutes ago I discovered a bug in my own game that was reported by users on Reddit three months ago, I don't know if it was submitted to the bugreport, but it was. So sure, Larian is working, but there are still bugs that were known three months ago!
By the way, the problem is not that there are bugs, but that Larian does not communicate about them. Take the example of Shadowheart not following the team error. That would be enough for me. But there is silence about the other bugs. Maybe it's company policy, it's certainly unpleasant when banal bugs are revealed about the best game in the world. But let's not forget that I am the customer! I paid for the game, even though I could have downloaded it from a torrent, in my country there is no law against it, because the copyright fee is built into the price of the media (HDD, SSD, etc.). So I am not expecting a miracle, just proper communication.
Sorry, man but my game on PC is running perfectly too. You gotta give Larian more time... they just fixed over 1000 bugs with a 60 Gig update (!!). And they communicate Very well regarding what they are working on. Any more posts from them about every single fix they work on daily, and there would be zero space left on this forum. They'll eventually get to the bugs that are hampering your experience and fix them.... unfortunately for you, those bugs are not as high on the priority list (there are more critical bugs they need to fix first). Every single patch introduces new bugs... it's the nature of the beast. No choice, you just have to be patient. Or: quit the game until Christmas or so, and come back then to see if things have improved for your specific situation.
No, people don't "gotta give Larian more time". They paid for their product already!....... Larian should not have released the game partly baked; regardless of how hard they are working NOW, they should have worked hard and released the game later once it was fully baked (perhaps around christmas time this year).
The game seems to be working fine for me, except Shart not following in group (however i worked out if i create a new save game and load from that, she goes back to following).
For other people the game is still broken, I feel bad for them considering the lack of fully baked games being released too early these last however many years; I'm pretty damn sick of not getting what I paid for initially too.
"(there are more critical bugs they need to fix first)"; I dunno, there is a lot of CRAP they changed in this patch; for example moving a tree for a better camera angle lol..... They clearly are putting their effort into the wrong place when there are sooooo many people complaining about things like item grouping, yet they move a tree for a better camera angle....
"And they communicate Very well regarding what they are working on" NO, they really DO NOT communicate well at all. FSR2 is a pretty damn good example of that, it was told to us that it would be released around sep6 ps5 bg3 release and there was forums/disc channels/steam threads etc asking for nearly 2 months what is going on without a single mention of it from anyone at Larian. Larians communication is so extremely poor, I am not sure what position regarding BG3 you are making this claim from?
Of course we can agree that some of this stuff doesn't help the issues you are experiencing. Of course I understand what you're trying to express. But it's also HOW you're saying things. This game was not half baked at all. For it to be perfect at launch, it would've taken a decade to complete and Larian Studios would've gone bankrupt in the meantime.
Sometimes, I don't think you understand the unhelpful effect of your statements' tone and words. Especially about how a game this insanely massive is even made. There are MILLIONS of bugs. Millions. Some old, some new every Day! Such is the nature of a game this iterative, adaptable and responsive. But there are only 24 hours in a day and a Finite amount of people working on this during those 24 hours (not to mention a finite amount of money). Sometimes I admire the Moderators' patience. It's so rude to address the devs this way, man... and unnecessary. There's no need for that.
Look, the overwhelming majority in the entire WORLD has already judged this game to be a masterpiece achievement in Gaming History. And here you are: sounding entitled, angry, sanctimonious, impatient, cruel and rude. Do you have any idea how many hours, passion, pain, sweat and tears Larian devs have poured into this game?
Are you really this unable to recognize how awesome and Rare this game already is? Perhaps I misunderstood you.... but that's what you actually sound like when you address the devs (and people in general) in this way.
How about this, here's an exercise of change in perspective:
Pretend you're a Larian developer and you're almost done patching BG3. You stopped thinking about the game, and you're going on holiday... after the entire world told you what a wonderful game you made (though not perfect, sure), and you turn your devices off, disconnect from the internet, go outside and look at sky and the the sun - and the Real World - on your deserved vacation, and then: some person comes at you speaking IRL the way you address people/Larian's Team here.... How would that make you feel?
Really look into the mirror, and tell me you think that this is okay, and that you would have the willingness and insensitivity to address someone - in real life - the way you've addressed people here online. (By the way, this is rhetorical, as we all know the true answer already to this hypothetical question).
