Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems [BUG] Freecast still bugged even after patch 4

Patchly reminder that freecast is still bugged after 4 major patches.

Currently freecast doesn't replenish after a long rest. However all you have to do is remove gear/clothing on your character and it will reset.

The most optimal way is to just remove your underwear after using freecast, it will reset it, then you can use it and put your underwear back on and that's another reset.

Unlimited freecasts for all.

I've taken it off my bars until it's fixed because it makes the game too easy. Please fix this Larian.

NOTE: I've already submitted a bug report about this a few weeks back with screenshots.

PS: I've tried killing my characters and resurrecting him, this doesn't fix the issue.

Just going to bump this because I can't be bothered making a new thread. I"m going to assume that Larian have no clue how to fix freecast. It makes honour runs a complete cake walk.

Yes!! But Good news. I have corresponded with Larian technical support on this, and sent them my saved game file and screenshots. Took me awhile to put that together. On Feb 1 Larian said" This is a known issue and our team is already investigating it, we aim to fix it in an upcoming update."

Since you have to do the clothes removal thing to get it to work, it is sometimes hard to keep track of whether you got your Freecast already. Because when its grayed out it usually doesn't mean you have used it. But I guess if you have no clothes left it's pretty obvious. Has anyone ever deliberately removed their underwear to get an extra Freecast? Just once to save your party? Errr ummm. Not me.

I made a mod called Unofficial Bug Fixer that has a fix for the freecast bug. It works and no longer changes depending on equipping items etc.

that in any txt .pak fixes the issues.

the new patch notes say freecast is fixed, so i was excited to try it out....i took my underwear off and yep, freecast still bugged lmao

will this mod disable achievements?

Running any mods will disable achievements unless you use the Achievement Enabler mod or (Once it gets updated for Patch 6) Use Script Extender as that has the achievement enabler built in.
