Hi everyone, I wanted to share that I’m also experiencing this issue, and unfortunately it affected two of my Honor Mode save files.
I submitted a ticket to Larian, but I haven’t received any response yet — it’s been about two weeks now.
I also made a post on Reddit explaining the situation in more detail, so I’ll paste it here to explain what happened and how the issue started.
PS5 Honor Mode save corrupted twice after Patch8 CE-108255-1
Hey everyone, I’m honestly at a loss here and hoping someone might have advice.
I’m playing Baldur’s Gate 3 on PS5, and after Patch 8, I’ve now had two Honor Mode saves become corrupted.
Details:
One save had ~45 hours
The other ~20 hours
Both crash at 83% loading
Error code: CE-108255-1
PS5 is ~1 year old, clean, well ventilated
No overheating or crashes in any others games
What happened in each case:
First save (45h): I had just reached the Lower City. I saved the game normally and exited. When I tried to play again later, the save simply stopped working and began crashing at 83%. This was extremely frustrating, but I assumed maybe I had done something wrong and decided to start over, because I really wanted to complete Honor Mode for the first time.
Second save (20h): This time, the crash happened while I was leveling up Gale and choosing spells. The PS5 shut down due to overheating. After the console cooled down, I tried loading the save again — and the exact same error happened. This time, I didn’t even manually save or do anything unusual before the crash.
What I already tried:
Loading the save without internet
Clearing cache
Rebuilding database
Reinstalling the game
Disabling HDR
Changing display/audio settings
Downloading cloud saves
Safe Mode options
Nothing worked.
The console only overheats and crashes with BG3, especially in Performance Mode, and this behavior started after Patch 8. I genuinely didn’t do anything unusual — just played normally.
Losing two Honor Mode runs like this is extremely discouraging, especially since there’s no backup save by design. I love the game, but this feels brutal and unfair.
I’ve already contacted Larian Support and I’m waiting for a reply.
Has anyone managed to:
Recover a corrupted Honor Mode save on PS5?
Fix the 83% loading crash?
Get help directly from Larian in similar cases?
Any advice or insight would be hugely appreciated. Thanks for reading.
