Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Updated Game and old Savegames

Hello,
As I am a disabled person there are long streaks where my health doesn't allow me to use my computer. There has been a very long streak lately ike this. Now I am back and found, that my old savegames are no longer playable. Is there any workaround or have I really start all over from scratch again?
Help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Bewze8,

I think the workaround might not work for every patch version of BG3. If your last save was from patch 8 then you’ll be fine with the following instructions:

If your save is older, there may be other solutions I’m unaware of, though you could still start over on the latest patch and enjoy all of the improvements added to Bg3 since your last run.
