Hey everyone - having an issue where the game is unplayable on ps5...

My gf and i are playing couch co op on my ps5 with another person thats online also on ps5, we all just got the game, made our characters and then began the adventure, only to see the opening game clip and then the game crashes EVERY TIME. We literally cannot make it past character creation.

Anyone else having this issue?? Any solutions?? Anyone fix this problem? I already submitted two bug reports to larian as well through their website and havent heard back and i made an account here just to post on this forum. Im pissed i spent $70 and wasted a saturday night on an unplayable game

If you're planning to play split screen, get a refund before it's too late. If you haven't seen this thread yet then know it's been unplayable in splitscreen for 3 weeks now even after char creation anyway.
It's probably better to buy it later if they ever fix it for ps5 because right now there is no communication from Larian and it doesn't look like they will do anything about it. (Appart from the diehard larian fans that says that they will)

Unfortunately I have to agree with this. We regret getting the deluxe early access because its an otherwise brilliant story. But for us its being ruined by the unplayable state of play on ps5 split screen, which was what we bought it for. Only the most die-hard, forgiving and patient gamers will be happy to tolerate 5-40s of 0fps freeze lag when you perform a myriad of basic functions with two people doing them simultenously. It is possible to push through that, we did for 50h, but in hindsight its felt like nothing but frustration.

Add in that the targeting bugs regularly (you lose the ability to target actions) and that this requires a quicksave and 'quick'load which seems to take the better part of a minute, you will spend a lot of time frozen and reloading.

Not had any issues with splitscreen over the weekend. Got the issue loading games today, but you can get around it by turning off your internet connection, loading the game and then reconnecting to the internet. That work around does not do it with multiplayer online though, for obvious reasons.

For anyone considering buying BG3 for PS5, please hold off. The game is not yet optimized for PS5, especially true if you're looking to play it on couch co-op. I regret buying it and need help trying to get a refund. Anybody else have luck getting refund?

The "Online Visibility" feature on the PS5 was turned off (not sure if it is back on or not), and that is how I was able to start the game. I did not need to turn off my internet connection. It appears the servers are not talking with each other.
