Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Game crash while trying to load any save from act 3 (PS5)

Hi everyone,

I’m currently facing an issue with the game for which I found no solution. I’m around 60hrs of playtime, including around 10+hrs in act 3. The game won’t load any of my saves from Act 3, it will load to 75% and then crash to the PS5 crash report screen. I tried some settings tricks found online, I tried completely reinstalling the game, I tried playing offline, I tried clearing my PS5 cache and rebuilding database, I tried cloud streaming the game and even tried on another PS5 but nothing works.

The only save that will load is one I have from the very end of act 2 but none from act 3 works, neither manual or auto save. I even tried to start over from my act 2 save and redo the beginning of act 3, planning to never reload save or quit the game and only put my PS5 on rest mode while I’m not playing until I finish the game. I played 10hrs like that but, tragically, died in a fight and again, can’t load any save from act 3 so I can’t play anymore.

I’ve seen people online having the same issue but no solution so I’m writing this hoping someone found how to make it work again as I really want to be able to finish the game (I paid for the game it’s not normal that after almost 3 years this kind of bugs still exist).

Thank you everyone 🙏

Hi everyone,

I'm having the same issues that VBRN has discribed.
I've already tried the same solutions and nothing worked.

Act 2 save games loads just fine as it should, any of my act 3 saves (being 3 diferente manual saves and 5 auto saves in diferente points of the game) dosen't load. The loading time stops at 75% and the game crashes to the PS5 home screen.

I'm around 50 hours in game. Never installed any form of mods. Game is in it vanilla mode since the begginig.

Hope that there is a solutions soon.

I do have a save in the end of act 2 (about 2 hours to enter act 3), will try to enter act 3 againg, just make a new save and see what will happened.
I'm assuming that it wil crash the save, as VBRN has already done. Bring news soon hope that, untill then, a solution will happen.

Thanks Larian!

(been playing Divinity 2 on the Switch 2, amazing, by the way)
