Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Approval/Disapproval message disappearing too quickly

For some reason when picking a dialogue that would show approval or disapproval, it appears for less than half a second before disappearing. I'm not sure if this is a common issue since or before the hotfix, this never happened before it was updated yesterday.

It’s not by design, probably a bug.

Clearly a bug and needs fixing, for example it happens with the Owlbear mother and the Githyanki patrol. I sometimes record a video and play it back in slow-mo just to see who liked what

I'm going to move this one to the Technical & Gameplay Problems subforum as I agree it must be a bug. I haven't worked out if there's a pattern as to when it happens and when it doesn't yet (it does seem intermittent). Has anyone else?

I've seen this happen once or twice myself. More like 1/10th of a second.

Yep, adding on that since launch it was doing the same for me up until yesterday. For some reason today it has been working fine. Then again I was also getting an issue with trying to skip text and getting a message in the corner with a <b> in it, as if it was just open code. But today that is also gone.

Yeah, PLEASE fix this. This usually happens when the game changes from world to dialog, dialog to cutscene, or cutscene to world. It disappears within a fraction of a second.

+ same observation / experience here

Same here as well.

And since there is no log message either from what I can see it does make very difficult to keep track of companion reactions.

It wasn't like this prior to version 4.1.1.3624901, so it's definitely a bug. Also, it doesn't appear to happen 100% of the time, sometimes it disappears almost instantly, other times it's completely normal.

Fingers crossed this is now fixed, based on patch 1 notes saying "Fixed dialogue notifications, like approval ratings and roll results, disappearing too early."
