Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Game stalls or crashes when trying to lockpick the adamantine chest in grymforge

It's the chest with the ghost of the Ilmater monk. I've opened it several times in past PT's. But this time, when starting the lockpick, the game stalls. Astarion is making lockpicing movements, very slowly, and all the other animation around also stutters. But the dice never arrive. As if the game is now stuck in a loop. I tried to pick up the chest and locpick it in another location, but with the same result. I sent another character to lockpick and then the game crashed.

The crash prompted to send a crash report, which I did, but then it said there were 857 crash reports, and apparently it opened a ticket for all of them. Sorry Larian. But I don't know where that came from.

I have mods, but they're almost all cosmetic mods : faces, hair, body modifications and clothes. The only "game-affecting" mod I have is the party limit begone. So I have all the companions in the party. But I have already gone through this act with a party of seven and opened the chest in a previous PT without problem.

I hope I 'll find a way out somehow. But if someone else has encountered something like this and found a way, I'll be glad to hear it.

It's so weird. I sent the chest to camp and continued the adventure. Everything looks fine. Next stop is the plunder of the Zentharim hideout. They have some traps to disarm, was fine. Gates to lockpick. Went fine. Behind the gate, 2 chests that are trapped and locked. Wanted to disarm them and got the same problem. No dice shown, and very slow, stuttering animation and sound. So it looks like a chest problem, as the doors and traps don't have it.
Restarted and sent those 2 chests also to camp.

Then I went to camp and tried to disarm and lockpick the 3 chests from the traveler's chest, and it worked.

Meanwhile in one of my restarts, the game totally reset itself. ( Got the first run question about nudity, the light/contrast test again, and the tutorial reset without asking me. Also my windows options were reset and all mods disabled.) After repairing options and mods I found I had two travelr's chest in camp now.

I hope I can finish the current game like this.
