Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Modding Mod authors threating to stop console support due to huge delays on approval

Hi all,


I just want to inform that many modauthors are saying that they will stop consolesupport due to huge delays which mess up their mods

Hi Nestor! Welcome to the forum!

As Salo pointed out in previous posts, an impending hotfix is keeping mod curation on hold https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=954087#Post954087
Moreover, updated mods need to be entirely re-validated which takes time.

It’s kind of you to keep us informed of the general temperature of the modding community. You can rest assured Larian are informed that this is an issue.

In conclusion, thank you for making this point. It has been received well and clearly. Repeating it would only muddle the message.

Thank you! Its not to be annoying but baldursgate has a special place in my heart and love the game and the 3rd installement is my favorite so I want to be able to enjoy it to fullest and wish the same to other people. Im sure larian wants that too and continues to give that enjoyment with games like dos2 which is my favorite game ever

Hey Nestor and thank you for your post!
A small console-only hotfix has gone live today, resolving some stability and performance issues when using mods on console. With this fix now in place, our team is continuing to retest a list of mods that are approved for console, but have since been updated.

Please bear in mind that any new updates to a previously approved mod will require full retesting to ensure that the mod still follows the guidelines and does not have any files or content unsupported on consoles. For this reason, we usually ask mod authors to only mark a mod for consoles if they're not expecting to update it further (though we understand that sometimes updates are inevitable!).
The team continues to test both updated mods as well as new mods to approve for console platforms.
