Oh this is very disappointing. Just got back from being out of town, reading all of these updates, figured I was in the clear to download and get to it when…
It’s not available on steam for mac yet.
This is the first time the patch didn’t drop across all platforms and that’s a huge bummer. I’m sure it will be out ‘Soon’.

It's so hard waiting for the Stadia update. I'm trying to avoid watching or reading anything about Grymforge because I want to play it first, but everyone's talking about it, and I want to be a part of it. I know I'm being overly dramatic, but it does hurt. I put aside plans this weekend to play the game. I'm sure Larian is working on it; I'm just looking forward to playing the patch, that's all.

I am not so sure that Larian is working on it.

Feels like they may be thinking it can wait until Monday.

It is not like this is the first time it has happened.

Well, you may be right. It's possible they took the weekend off, but as much as I want it updated on Stadia, I can't fault someone for not working on a Sunday.

I tried launching before Patch 6, it worked fine, but now ... I finally get a few days off, finally interested in playing again, this sucks.

You don't need the launcher to play the game. Just start the bg3.exe file in the game installation folder (I think it is in the bin or data subfolder).

I know, it was the first thing I tried. It didn't work. That's in my op.

I uninstalled, reinstalled. Seven hours and forty-eight minutes later, launcher still didn't work. Verified my game files, no launcher but now the .exe works.

You're right, read your op too quickly. Glad it finally worked out for you.

Thanks me too. Lost a day off though, but at least I'll get to play today.

When will you update the Stadia version? I know 'soon'. But you had to know that answer wouldn't work for long! When should we expect realistically?

For being notoriously a laughing stock among the major gaming platforms, Stadia surely has its fair share of support around here.
Bizarre.


Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN

Just wondering what makes people think that Larian can speed up the process? Technical issues could mean the problem is on Stadia's side, right? Maybe someone from Larian can clarify this point?

The thing is, the Mac version also hasn't been released, so it's not just Stadia. Larian decided to prioritize the PC Steam/GOG version of their game, and worry about updating the other versions later. If it was Stadia's fault, Mac would be released already as well.

Another one with the Stadia version.

I asked in twitter to both Google and Larian and only Google responded, saying that they also hope that is launched ASAP.

I hope it’s this week…

Maybe Larian holding the Mac version until after the Apple event announcing the M1Pro & M1Max chips?

That seems pointless, one doesn't have anything to do with the other and would just be withholding access to already released content and making Mac customers upset with no benefit.

Apple just said many developers received early access to these chips, so perhaps Larian was among them. Not pointless if Larian are ensuring the Mac version is optimized for these new chips.

Ok, folks got a couple of issues with Patch 6 and were wondering if anybody else has come across it or if there is a way to fix any of them.

1. My main female Ranger knight's max carry weight is 160 pounds she is only carrying 105 lbs and it says that she is "Encumbered" Didn't remember this ever happening before Patch 6 unless I was close to or over my max carry weight.

2. A lot of interior areas are all but black and you can hardly see anything. Even though Caina<Ranger Party leader> and Shadowheart both have dark vision. I don't remember areas like the Crypt where you get the "Speak with dead Amulet" or the Toll House basement being so dark and if these two areas are that dark I can only imagine how dark the Underdark is now.

As far as the Darkness goes you would think that with Lae'zel Carrying the Everburn blade that it would shed light as well.

Anyone else having<had> these issues? and if so how did you correct them or have you?

1. There are soft caps since patch 4 or 5(not sure now) they should be shown by white, yellow and red parts of carry weight bar ... also if you place your mouse over them, tooltip should appear tellimg you how much you can carry without penalisation.
I believe Larian come to corect conclusion when they decided that someone who carry his own weight in backpack wont be so effective. 😄

2. There seems to be a problem with visual side of darkvision in this patch


If my comments bother you, there is nothing easier than telling me to stop.

The new carry weight system was introduced in Patch 5. It's a more lenient version of the 5E Variant Encumbrance rule. Basically in LBS its STR x 12 = your carry weight unencumbered. Anything beyond that you start to become encumbered, and then you have an absolute max carry weight that is STR x 20.

In Kilograms it is STR x 6 and STR x 10.

Video Settings Gamma Correction slider should allow you to see better. However, turning on light sources is also super helpful. The Underdark is now properly dark like it should be.
