Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems game breaking bug, cant proceed to act 2 ''cant use this right now''

I cant proceed to act 2. Im using no mods. Every time i try to enter act 2, or enter the goblin camp with dror ragzlin, it says ''cant use this right now.''
The cutscene with the artefact that is supposed to play where the absolute enters your mind and you see the 3 chosen doesnt play. Instead, i instantly get teleported to camp and its added into my inventory. I think this is what is breaking the game. I have no idea how to fix this, i think i literally need a dev to help me because I am the only person to have ever encountered this issue.

That is weird. In my last PT, I didn't take Shart in my party and when we arrived at goblin camp, the artefact simply appeared in Tav's hands. Afterwards, back in camp, Tav could tell Shadowheart about this, insisting they did not steal it, but that it just came to them, and Shadow is cool with that.

So, you didn't mention it, do you have Shadowheart in you company at all ? ( Be it in camp or in the party ?) Not sure what would happen if you left Shadow out in the wild and tried to enter the camp.

I think ive done like 20 different speedruns testing if i could figure out something to fix it. Ive tried playting as shadowheart, having her in my party, not having her, having her killed, not playing as durge, playing as durge, etc. Nothing fixes it. The cutscene just breaks i think, because it doesnt play. I just instantly TP to camp and its forcing a long rest, with the artefact appearing in my hand. yet when i go back, the cutscene doesnt play. Im pretty sure the cutscene is supposed to play, then the aretfact is added into your inventory.

It's weird, and as you say in post 1, you have the same game as everyone else, so what's causing this difference ? You talk about speedrunning, which made me think about this : When you reach the camp, are there any quest markers on it ? I think there are 2 available, "find the nightsong" and "rescue Halsin". I guess most players have at least one of these quests by the time they get to the camp. But what if none of these have started. Could that generate a path "untested" ? Just thinking out loud, I guess.

I dont think it has anything to do with that because this when this happend and i noticed it i was literally completely done with act 1 but couldnt keep playing on my playthrough. I think its either something with my hardware somehow that is causing issues andi think only larian could identify if it is, or it something that has been corrupted SOMEWHERE and is fucking everything. But i deleted the folders in appdata and reinstalled the entire game so everything should be reset.
