Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems How To Report Major Patch 4 Issues to the Press (Community Collaboration Thread)

I agree that hyperbole about minor bugs is hurting clarity on this issue.

Before patch 4, the game wasn't perfect on PS5, but it was playable. Everyone experienced minor bugs, and a very small number of people experienced game-blocking bugs that affected their current playthrough - often fixable by reverting to an earlier save. Some people complained about it being "unplayable" then - but what they mean by "unplayable" is not what we mean by "unplayable."

After patch 4, the game is literally unplayable on PS5 once you reach act 3, and what we mean by "unplayable" is that you cannot play. This isn't a bug you can ignore or work around. This isn't something that only affects an unlucky minority of players or saves. It's an issue that is preventing PS5 players from completing the game at all.

Larian needs to make an announcement about the issue and the state of a fix. As it is, this game should not be on sale to PS5 players at all. It's completely broken. Cyberpunk 2077 was actually pulled from the Playstation store shortly after its release, once the state of the game became obvious - I believe that BG3 should be pulled until this is fixed as well. I think the only reason it hasn't been is that it was working until patch 4, and that people don't know it's this broken until they reach act 3. It's taking a while for people to become aware of how serious the issue is.
