Is a Linux PC, a viable concept with Steam & BG3?

I get the Auntie Ethyl's hair choice popup, and then Marina starts her post-fight yapping. Both are up at the same time. I decide to do the Marina dialog first, click on one of the choices, crash to desktop.

I've been playing through as a Berserker Barbarian Dark Urge, and I just have to say "thank you Larian, for the Barbarian". The dialogue options are so good and so much fun.

I can recommend this playthrough to anyone.

Is there a tool to scour the logs, to find out what happened to a particular item?

I have lost my Luminous Armour

In the form of Marcus and Astarion making tactically suspect decisions, Sazza takes the cake with not one, not two, but three sus choices.


So I play the minigame of trying to save Sazza. After rescuing her, I meet in the goblin camp at MInthara's hangout. I have to negotiate a careful path through the dialog to make Sazza afraid of them, so she doesn't join them against me when the fight starts.

This leads to a tough fight as for some reason, all the gobbos including Minthara make a beeline to attack her, and her 14 hp doesn't last long. It's worse than saving Isobel from Marcus and three winged horrors.

Anyway, I have great luck, and wipe Minthara and the two gobbos straight off. Sazza is green and joins us in fighting. Oh no!

With the three locals dead, she spies an opponent outside the room. She dashes, and keeps dashing to the hall to attack a hall guard, because the hummball has warned others before Lae'zel or I can toss it into the gorge. Now I've gotta save her from the hall goblins which she's intent on soloing.

This happens, but but by that time, Dror Ragzlin & friends have seen her through the broken wall, and now she's pulling in the final goblin leader fight all on the same play. Sazza had no chance against two hall guards. Good luck against Dror.

Fine, I run in and we take them out and Sazza is still alive. But at some point, she decides she's our enemy now, and tries to kill us.

Well, I plan to save her anyway, so I turn off automatic reactions and make a bee line for the nearest exit, which is the worg pen. The three gobbos guarding that door of course object.

I manage to make all four of us through the door, which is a mini-zone change, and boom! Up pops the save Sazza success reward. Hooray! And miracle of miracles, she doesn't follow us through.

Unfortunately, the worg pen is now pulled. We're getting pretty dry on spell slots, so it's up to The Wiffer and I to do the vast bulk of the work.

Success! Halsin is saved, gobbo kids not killed, Sazza not killed, completed, three major and two minor encounters all in one continuous, rolling fight!

I know you probably get alot of this but, I heard so much good stuff about this game I am surprised to have an issue like this xD

I wanted to romance Karlach but I cant cause I only fixed her engine in Act 3 instead of Act 2, even tho when I first met him in druids cave, Damon guy clearly said, 'find me in Baldrus Gate and we can get you another upgrade' so I didnt bother to walk through stupid depressing fog world looking for him. How could I know he would hang out and set up a smith shop in the middle of cursed land... thats just stupid. I think they have to unlock that romance so that you can get it at any time not just in Act 2. After looking it up on the internet i found out there is alot of silly stuff you have to do the right way at the right time to get to romance her and its impossible for anyone to guess. I think the should fix that so that its more flexible, just remove the restrictions.

Either way, having that off my chest ;p
I wanted to ask if you guys know of a mod that can help me unlock the romance in Act 3.
I dont want to go back to Act 2 cause its eww and also cause its a days work away xD

Thanks

This happens at least once a month. The option "Direct Connections" will disable itself a couple of seconds after being activated and the code field is emptied.

This is extremely inconvenient for anyone who doesn't want to make a Larian account and doesn't have a VPN for LAN connections.

Larian, you decided to not provide simple direct IP connections for some reasons. But then please make sure that the crutch with that DC code works reliably!

Me and my group of regulars won't be forced to use Larian accounts because they have absolutely no value to us.

Ideally, please implement direct IP connections that worked fine for games decades ago.

You mean to tell me that the Jaheira bug that makes her not an ally and prevents you from using her as a proper companion hasn't been fixed for over 2 years??

I don't care how good this game is, that is a game breaking bug that should've been resolved years ago when this was first brought up. A whole companion that is unplayable/broken, 100% unacceptable.

Edit: I don't care how many threads have been created for this very issue. I've scoured enough of the internet and dealt with enough AI trying to fix this, so you can deal with my 1 extra little thread, because I'm not finding one to post in.

I have done multiple play-throughs with Hexblades and Hexblade multiclasses, and this is the first time I'm encountering this issue.
My standard post-long-rest buff routine includes:
Shadow Blade -> Bind Hexed Weapon. For the 3rd time in this run, I have started combat with my hexed shadow blade and suddenly found myself getting only one attack because my shadow blade has lost the "hexed weapon" status. I have not unequipped it, dropped it, or any of the obvious things people immediately assume.
Fortunately I'm not playing in honour mode or this could be catastrophic.
Every Google result about this has to do with the opposite - not being able to remove the effect.
I have not tried this with a standard weapon or regular pact weapon so I don't know if it has anything to do with the weapon being a shadow blade or not.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and knows what could be causing it, or if this playthrough has somehow gotten bugged? I thought I would ask before spending time doing extensive troubleshooting.
The only mod I'm using is the Aasimar race from the in-game mod manager, and I've had that forever without problems.
