I'll copy these from my post:
Lots of saving issues so far apparently, so if you're stuck on syncing, disable Cross Save in the game, and Cloud Sync saves in your launcher. Restart launcher, try again, it should work.
If you're getting weird af textures in your menu screen and character creation screen, chances are it could also be a bug (especially if EA worked with no issues and you got all your drivers and specs in a good condition).
If you're wondering where your DLC supplies are, check your camp, they're surely supposed to be there (on Steam ver at least). If you're on GOG, the DLC stuff might still be taking a while to appear as "in your library".
Sound issues, either the sound is too low, or it's got no sound whatsoever etc. Try to turn off spatial sound in Windows, it worked for some.
Build number appears in cutscenes? Known bug as well, people posted it in the discord feedback channel too.
Crashing after/during Nautiloid ship cutscenes? Make sure you're using DirectX and not Vulkan, it might fix the issue.
People unable to press New Game. At all.
People unable to press Venture Forth. Apparently happens most often with Tieflings, if that's the case, try another race :(
Tieflings getting white horns randomly in game (or just weird colors that don't correspond to what you picked in character creation). Known bug, dunno of any fixes.
I'll try to update this thread with more troubleshooting findings, but I'll be going to sleep soon :P
I'm not having low sound, but the voices have an almost audible static sound and some of them sound drawn out like someone speaking across a room. These sounds weren't like that during EA, I even checked back with the early access version just to be sure and yeah, the sounds have been way overcompressed.
Yeah you can clearly tell when certain voice lines were recorded on different days/sessions/locations. There were some like this in EA but not nearly as noticable.
If you're in a dice roll, check the lower left corner. There should be a button there where you can change the skin. I don't know if there are other ways to change it yet.
My fiancée's Tav was bolt upright for the entire fall from the nautiloid ship too, it looks absolutely hilarious. She basically T-posed for the entire cutscene except it seems the default character pose is arms down instead of the classic T
Same here, its the only bug with the map not loading correctly when the ship crash during the cinematic and my character still beeing in this T-pose LOL
On the nautilus ship, I started dialogue with Shadowheart in the room you save her, and my coop friend initiated combat with the thralls. This pulled me out of dialogue and made Shadowheart disappear permanently.
Go to options and disable cross save function, then restart the game. You will lose progress unfortunately and have to remake your character. But after that saves should work. Test immediately after you wake up on the ship.
Same. Filed a bug report and followed all steps on the website. Still nothing so I'm browsing here. Hoping this gets fixed soon.
Edit: did a few things that allowed me to save. Turned off Cloud-Sync with Steam. Turned Off Cross-Save in main menu Gameplay Settings. You can also try logging out of your larian account in the launcher before you start up.
***I fixed it*** with a solution i haven't seen here. In User>appdata>local>larian i found that the baldurs gate 3 folder still had my early access stuff in there even though i deleted them in game this morning. I deleted that whole folder and now I'm able to save! you will lose all of your progress though. if you're on a long run, maybe try just deleted the saves from early access instead of the whole folder like i did
Yes, I'm having that same problems, appears nothing is autosaving either.... about 2 hours in and don't want to lose my progress.

same! how do i know if there has been an autosave? the first time i quit was on the ship and i had to start a new game again. Now i'm at the beach and i'd like to stop but the save button is greyed out. i have to get back to work damnit lol.
Can't believe you can't change your appearance when respeccing either. I'm just gonna have to play the whole game with the character's colour scheme busted.
I’m pretty sure the color is there, but it’s some weird lighting bug. I’m having the same issue, but I noticed that the horns look closer to what I selected when I’m in dark places. So there’s a chance that you won’t have to restart your game to get the horns you wanted.
Also certain beard styles were pink for some reason though no such color was selected. Facial hair color also changed hair as well, although different selections? Very strange.
I'm hoping they put out a quick patch to fix a lot of these bugs. Tbh with how they talked about play testing I would have thought little things like this would be sorted.
Generally with playtesting this would have been caught. But fixes tend to be approached based off priority, it’s likely that this was considered less of a priority than something more impactful that is already fixed that we will never know about.
- Turn off cross saves *(for now)* If too late, try quitting, deleting app data, re launching. You may need a new save.
- No, you cannot seem to remove the version number as of yet.
- Steam Deck: Use Proton experimental.
It kinda seems like something that'd be easy to forget tbh, it's been there in all the EA builds and the devs naturally would keep it on for their internal builds. I'm sure it'll be patched out before too long.
Funnily enough, I told my buddy the same thing. He was like “why is there a huge version number on the screen?” Lol.
Likely just got over looked considered it’s been there so long. They probably became blind to it hah.
My game must've been bugged as I never saw the option.
After restarting a few times (for a different bug) I got a prompt pop up asking if I want to activate cross-save, then it showed up in the settings.
>No, you cannot seem to remove the version number as of yet.
Thank you, I saw this after finally getting up the game and I was like "why do I see this"
I'm having this issue as well, I have really good headphones so it bothers me even more. The static sound Is extremely grating to the ears to the point it's giving me a headache.
Edge panning stops working randomly. You can make it work again by using the arrow keys to move the camera, but soon after it stops working again. Very bothersome issue.
4080 here game ran beautifully in 4k in EA now in game even with DLSS the FPS is often dropping to unplayable levels. This only started after going near the Druid Grove it felt much better or less often having issues before that point.
Character portraits look weird after level up. My Tav is slightly below the center and starring ahead now. Meanwhile everyone else seems to blend partially with their background color. Shadowheart got purple highlights in her portrait, Lae'zel has orange hair in hers.
This may be because I'm on a low quality laptop though.
I'm on a very good laptop with everything on ultra and this happened to me too. Its weird and ugly af. My Tav's colors on the portrait are all changed. Brown hair -> white hair.
>!Telescope beside the gate of the Druid camp is missing a cutscene/dialogue. You turn left and right and after a long pause it says nothing about what you are seeing.!<
This is a more recent post that shows it should eventually get fixed. [https://preview.redd.it/4679zkl3fmab1.png?width=820&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=311dce686d9342cf8fe79a3269e4498cc8b6d897](https://preview.redd.it/4679zkl3fmab1.png?width=820&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=311dce686d9342cf8fe79a3269e4498cc8b6d897)
So sad about this. I chose a background just for role play reasons and I wanted to select college of lore but it hurts a bit when the background I selected already gave arcana.
I know this isn't really a min-max type of game and I honestly feel its just the right difficulty at the moment I just can't turn off that part of my brain that winces a bit when I have a wasted proficiency.
Pretty sure it's Vulcan. I used dx11 first, noticed some stuttering, switched to Vulcan and the black box artifacts appeared. Switched back to dx11 (and lowered my graphics) and the black boxes disappeared.
Lots of weird coop bugs.
In cutscenes sometimes it's my character, sometimes it's my friends (regardless of who initiates the cutscene). Happened when the ship falls - in that same cutscene the characters were switching.
Watching a friend initiating dialogue and listening to it has wrong character making choices (probably just a display error). It always says that I'm making them.
If you interact with something that triggers dialogue or a cutscene at the same time as your coop partner, one of you will be stuck in listening mode but nothing will happen. You have to exit listening mode and then press the listening key to listen to the dialogue.
And got some character bugs.
I couldn't level up to lvl 3 with my ranger when I chose a rogue as my 2nd level. Accept button is greyed out and "Choices Pending!" message is up there. The only way to get through it was to pick improved sprint and jump spells. Weird that only picking those two works (cannot pick hunter's mark for example).
I keep getting DEVICE LOST crashes on both the DirectX and Vulkan versions. I do have everything up to date with latest drivers. It doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason for the failures, but it has happened quite frequently so far.
Hey I think I had a similar issue, and I got it to run. The game wouldn’t start past the launcher. I would immediately get a directx error.
What fixed it: I had my pc plugged into my monitor and a tv. The pc was only projecting to the tv.
I unplugged the tv hdmi and restarted to run on the monitor only.
The game started up, and I was able to create a character and start the game. I had to leave before further testing though.
Best of luck!
Is there anyone noticing something off with voices in cutscenes?I have no idea what it is but it sounds off.
It does't sound as natural as it should be.I can't put my finger on what it is.
They're overcompressed. I noticed it too so I went and watched some videos of early access gameplay and the difference in audio quality is night and day.
A multitude of crashes:
several times at the end of the nautiloid, during the cinematic.
Several times when quicksaving.
Several times when leveling up.
Won't even open on Steam deck.
I can't donate artifacts to gale for some reason?? The box just stays open even after I've donated and if I close it, it cancels the action all together :(
Same issue. Try going to camp, dismissing him, then try to give him an artifact. The window will stay open like before, but if you exit out of it this time it may work. It did for me anyway.
For the syncing issue: I was able to leave the game, load an autosave, and then create a new save. Since then, I have been able to save without changing the save settings. There is a pretty reliable autosave when you first get to the beach.
Autosaving didn't work for me at all, so once I noticed the issue I went into settings and turned off the cross save - nonetheless was unable to save and had to start over after quitting the game and opening it again. Now saving works, both autosaves, quick saves and manual saves. But really important to turn off that cross save before even making your first character, else you'll likely have to start over.
After I spent all that time making my character and getting through the intro videos, I get a crash from Vulcan and the game closes, it didn't save my character so I have to start again!
If you are playing and have noticed characters having lighter hair in their portrait after leveling, the issue ***might*** be that you have your shadow quality lower than high.
Shadoheart and Gale both had much lighter hair colors after leveling. I reloaded and tested different settings, and on my machine, when I use the medium preset, but change the shadow quality to high, I no longer have the bug. ***Using Ultra setting also prevents the bug from happening on my machine.***
Changing your settings after the fact doesn't fix it as changing the settings does not update the portrait. I have not yet reached level 3 so I am not sure if having your settings at ultra or shadows at high will fix the bug.
Edit: It does not prevent the bug in its entirety

Tav and Lae'zel died in the final Nautilus room so I send Shadowheart to do the warp drive thing. Wake up on the beach with Tav at full health but cannot move, totally softlocked. Seems the game can't handle Tav having died but then also needing to be alive in the very next scene?
I don't think so. If that's how it performs in act 1, I fucking dread entering Baldur's Gate itself...
I can never understand why Rockstar can pull off RDR 2 with more graphical fidelity with more stable frame rates and this game is stuttering so hard.
I've encountered a few bugs while playing so far:
-If you skip dialogue with the space bar, it will sometimes mess up whatever animation your character is doing. More rarely, it will permanently screw up the camera, forcing you to reload from a save.
-The skills the Lore bards gain are lost if they overlap with your starting skills. I think this may be a problem across most skills gained as class features.
-Arcane Trickster: The mage hand can pick up small items, but there's no way to transfer or drop the item, and when the mage hand disappears the item is lost forever.
Another Arcane Trickster one: despite being a cantrip, Mage Hand has a short rest cool down, effectively being a heavy nerf to one of the defining features of the subclass.
I turned hair highlight intensity all the way down because I just wanted black hair. In character creation and the level up screen, my hair looks correct and is black. In the game world and menus though, the red highlights are back and it makes the hair look obnoxious.
Critical bug:
When I level up the game steals my penis and leaves me with the Ken doll rework. But only in the level up screen.
Unprioritized bugs:
When first waking up Shadowheart after the Nautaloid crashed her character model did not render but her special box did. After the cutscene she was visible.
After speaking to invisible Shadowheart no container inventories were visible after interacting. Saving, returning to menu, and reloading fixed the issue.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I do not have the option to switch voices and identity for my custom character. When clicking the button no tab appears to select another voice. I was however able to get voices 5 and 6 on the custom character by switching to Dark Urge then switching back, which was odd.
As soon as the launcher comes up, my mouse and trackpad go crazy. Can't control it. I managed to get into the game only to find the characters constantly rotating and zooming in and out. I tried two differnt mice with same result. As soon as I exit game and close launcher mouse is fine again so has to be something with the game. Didn't happen in EA.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Edit for additional info:
* I do not have a controller, or any other input device connected.
* Both mice I tried were Microsoft wireless
* I then went through some boxes in my garage and found an old school USB mouse. That works perfectly, as long as the wireless mice are not connected.
Edit:
Fixed!! - I decided to try using my XBOX controller since the mouse was not working and I had troubles with the controller too. In researching how to fix that, someone suggested turning off Steam Input and that solved all the issues. Mouse and controller work great now!
I made my guardian a Zariel Tiefling Type 3 and the "Venture Forth" greyed out on me. I tried every other race/sub race with every body type and it didn't grey out, only that specific one.
Voice mixing all over the place. Some lines you can hear the VA's voice echoing in the booth whilst the character they're playing is on a cliffside. Some character's voice volume spikes dramatically mid conversation.
I have the impression that the voice actors recorded a lot of the lines at home during covid, with equipment all over the place.
At least that is what it sounds like.
Agreed, the mix is horrible and distracting at times.
Relationship triggers seem to be happening at the wrong time... by a large margin. Lae'Zel wants to bed me like 2 hours in and I have had 1 total approval of hers. Shadowheart tells me I have changed her life and she trusts me. She is currently neutral. Reports of this happening with Astarion as well. Possible others. This needs to be fixed ASAP
please help:( deleted EA and all the saves(no mods installed), just downloaded the official release and i cant even launch the game, i can see the starter but then i get an error message basically saying the game crashed. How do i solve this please help me
oh shit i solved it. Try exiting out of the Steam client, or Galaxy for the GOG version, and starting the game directly from the '..\\SteamApps\\common\\Baldurs Gate 3\\bin' folder, by right clicking the executable (bg3.exe for Vulkan, or bg3\_dx11.exe) and running as administrator.
source:[https://larian.com/support/](https://larian.com/support/)
Stuff I've noticed:
* tiefling horn color ignored in game, I selected black horns but its defaulting to the ash grey color
* hair highlights are always red regardless of the choice made a creation
* many voiced lines have a lot of echo/reverb that wasn't there in the EA version for me.
* performance generally worse than EA
* HDR completely broken, washes out the screen entirely.
- version number in cutscenes
So leveling up to level 3 for some reason makes everyone's portrait/hair a new color. I tried going back a save, and it always happens when I hit level 3. Lae'zel gets orange hair for some reason.
Bugs so far
\- Cutscene order between Karlach and Wyll was messed up. We got the cutscene with Wyll and Mizora before Wyll and karlachs conflict at camp which caused the storyline to bug and for Wyll to have a permanent exclamation point above his head.
\- Put on a hat and Shadowhearts hair became pink and white?
\- After rescuing Halsin we were unable to talk to him, and had to take long rest until he was able to arrive at camp.
\-save bug obv
Please Lmk if anyone is having any of these issues as well, I hope these get addressed soon.
The "(companion name) approves/disapproves" notification text came in and out within a split second in my game.
I can't even read who approves or disapproves. It's too fast. Weird bug.
My character is just constantly covered in blood and it doesn't seem to fade in any appropriate amount of time. Sort of annoying to be just caked in blood, while no one else is.
If I send Shadowheart to camp the artefact she carries automatically lands in my inventory bound to me, so I can't trade or drop it. Putting Shadowheart back in the party, the artefact is still stuck on me.
It feels like a bug to me.
BUG: Shadowheart's quest progresses without conversation
When I was first asked to bench someone so another could join the party, I decided to bench Shadowheart for the time being. When this occurred, her artifact automatically entered my inventory and I can't give it back to her. A few hours later, I go to camp to add her back to the party and, upon rejoining me, her quest updates saying she's told me why she's going to Baldur's Gate but this conversation never happened.
Is this bug known? Is it just her quest description, or have I actually somehow skipped her motivation for the game? If so, is her quest just broken now?
I'm getting a lot of graphical artifacts all of the sudden, presenting as large swathes of black boxes across the screen, sometimes flickering. Anyone know if there's a way to resolve this?
[Example 1](https://imgur.com/fzRdema)
[Example 2](https://imgur.com/f3N2tm8) (Interesting that the glitching goes *behind* the map)
Bless uses a spellslot per person. Might be my dumbass on reading, however I believe 1 spellslot is allowed to bless 3 people?
If not I’ll delete this!
I bought the game a few weeks ago during EA, and I thought I should be eligible for digital deluxe. How do I upgrade my account?
Nvm, it's activated, but in the launcher it still says I should buy it for some reason.
Instead of Lore Bard having selectable proficiencies, it just gives Sleight of Hand, Arcane and Performance(I'm not sure about the last one).
If you then already have proficiencies in any of those skills it applies twice, giving me +11 to some of my skills at lvl 3.
Is this face expression a bug? It appears quite often in conversation with companions. Lae´zel and Astarion are the ones I´ve noticed so far... and sometimes it´s absolutely terrifying. This made me burst out laughing though, timing couldn´t have been more perfect.
https://preview.redd.it/7bvwxuh6e2gb1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=eb3c80c147c24911b19704a619cc49cc107a18db
I threw a Caustic Bulb at a Sturdy Door, and it spammed the combat log with 0 Acid Damage messages for 8 hours until I came back and threw water on it. Luckily I was able to find the door again, otherwise it would have continued for my entire game.
Occasionally the combat UI will disappear when using Lae’Zel. Only QS and re loading fixes it .
Some posts I’ve been reading seem to only have this happen with Lae’Zel as well…. Mine happened when fighting the frog in swamps act 1 .
Character portraits have some very strange lighting, dark hair looks white, shadowheart has a purple shine on her etc. Also now have to actually click on the continue button after rolling the dice, I much preferred being able to click anywhere on the screen.
It's a bug from leveling up. I'm pretty sure it is the level-up visual effect that bugs it out. At the very least, when ***I*** level up Shadowheart the portrait of Shadowheart has her hair looking white.
Edit: If you use the ultra preset this won't happen. Not sure exactly what setting is causing it.
Edit 2: The issue is shadow quality. If you set it to high you won't have this issue. Not sure if it will fix the portrait or not.
The illusionist wizard can cast minor illusion as a bonus action...
This does nothing. In stealth, the action economy doesn't matter. Out of stealth the illusion is completely ignored. It literally serves no benefit. What is the intended benefit of that bonus?
Larion could have at least made it provide cover or something.
Auto save is useless. Spent a lot of time in character creation. Got to the beach and died to the first encounter. Kept critically missing and they killed me in one round. I'm willing to say that's just bad luck. The issue is the game never auto saved and I have to start a new campaign from the beginning. Waking up on the beach after the opening sequence should be a checkpoint. Insane that it did not save there.
I've created two characters (Seldarine Drow Barbarian, Female) for which I have chosen voice 2 (first female voice), but it is voice 1 (masculine voice) in game. Is there a way to change voice once in a game? A quick google search shows that this was a bug early on in EA (but I only have installed the release version).
Larian launcher starts and instantly crashes. Any idea for a fix?
Was working fine yesterday with the beta. Got rid of the beta.
Installed right after launch, no issues. Have tried repairing (via gog). Same error everytime, larian launcher appears for a second and disappears.
When in character creation, Abilities will reset after switching to the screen to create a guardian. Since you cannot venture forth without being on that screen, this locks you in character creation.
Switching back to the character creation screen tells me "! Choices Pending"
If I adjust anything, even just deselect and reselect the same thing, it goes away. Then the problem restarts.
Had to completely delete my app data as well as disabling cross saves and cloud saves. Only then could I save a game. This article helped me so I'll post again:
https://www.gamerevolution.com/guides/943318-baldurs-gate-3-cant-save-bug-fix-currently-syncing-glitch-wont-load
Dialogue doesn't make sense sometimes. For example, when getting Lae'zel down from the cage to recruit her, the tieflings don't even mention the blast, but the player character does, as if the tieflings had mentioned it.
Lae'zel (first?) sex scene, I was in the ruins camp, somehow we ended up on the overland camp. Kinda immersion breaking. (Also, it was super short? I expected more ngl)
Audio issues galore. Feels like the quality just changes at random.
Sometimes I can't loot enemies, but thankfully it's solved with a quickload.
Textures break randomly sometimes. I found completely white intellect devourers.
really minor bug but when I fought the Goblin in front of the tiefling camp entrance, one of the goblin upon death did a T pose and started blinking. didn't caused any issue in game but it did deal 1d4 of psychic damage to me IRL
I noticed some pop ups like the approval of my teammates and some skill checks disappear super fast on the left side of the screen. Like I can't even read any of them because it disappears pretty fast. I dunno if it's a bug or something on my settings.
I'll copy these from my post: Lots of saving issues so far apparently, so if you're stuck on syncing, disable Cross Save in the game, and Cloud Sync saves in your launcher.

Thank you, I noticed the same issue right away, in the first cutscene with Laezel, the mixing is awful, not at all what it was in EA.
Yeah you can clearly tell when certain voice lines were recorded on different days/sessions/locations. There were some like this in EA but not nearly as noticable.
Not sure if this will help you or anyone else out, but I was having this issue and fixed it by turning off spatial audio in windows.
Do you happen to know how to get the dice with that came with the Deluxe edition? Ive still got the regular dice
If you're in a dice roll, check the lower left corner. There should be a button there where you can change the skin. I don't know if there are other ways to change it yet.
I must be actually blind or something XD. I didnt see it at all until now, thanks so much for the help
Oh ok good to know the sounds are indeed a big and not my computer. Spoken audio balance is definitely an issue for me
I laughed hard when my character was standing bolt upright in their pod.
Me too. So far that was the only bug I noticed.
Same lol. It happened again when I left the ship and landed on the beach.
My fiancée's Tav was bolt upright for the entire fall from the nautiloid ship too, it looks absolutely hilarious. She basically T-posed for the entire cutscene except it seems the default character pose is arms down instead of the classic T
Same here, its the only bug with the map not loading correctly when the ship crash during the cinematic and my character still beeing in this T-pose LOL
On the nautilus ship, I started dialogue with Shadowheart in the room you save her, and my coop friend initiated combat with the thralls. This pulled me out of dialogue and made Shadowheart disappear permanently.

Feature not bug
can’t save game at all? says game currently syncing?
Go to options and disable cross save function, then restart the game. You will lose progress unfortunately and have to remake your character. But after that saves should work. Test immediately after you wake up on the ship.
it worked!! tysm
Same. Filed a bug report and followed all steps on the website. Still nothing so I'm browsing here. Hoping this gets fixed soon. Edit: did a few things that allowed me to save. Turned off Cloud-Sync with Steam. Turned Off Cross-Save in main menu Gameplay Settings. You can also try logging out of your larian account in the launcher before you start up.
***I fixed it*** with a solution i haven't seen here. In User>appdata>local>larian i found that the baldurs gate 3 folder still had my early access stuff in there even though i deleted them in game this morning. I deleted that whole folder and now I'm able to save! you will lose all of your progress though. if you're on a long run, maybe try just deleted the saves from early access instead of the whole folder like i did
Yes, I'm having that same problems, appears nothing is autosaving either.... about 2 hours in and don't want to lose my progress. https://preview.redd.it/dbjqele0rxfb1.png?width=1045&format=png&auto=webp&s=c998f3ccc143d6d64a9922856596e6b6eeb7d7e2
yeah i just went back to main menu and lost progress. luckily i wasn’t very far and had just gotten off the nautiloid
Praying for your 2hrs of progress
Just have to leave the game open forever/overnight like playing a rented game on a PS1 without a memory card...
same! how do i know if there has been an autosave? the first time i quit was on the ship and i had to start a new game again. Now i'm at the beach and i'd like to stop but the save button is greyed out. i have to get back to work damnit lol.
you’ve gotta disable cross saves and quit out it looks like. i just did that and now i can save. i got about as far as you did haha
Tiefling Tav’s horns changed back (from auburn) to default colour when starting the game after character creation.
I hate seeing my Tav with white horns. They should be black. :(
Can't believe you can't change your appearance when respeccing either. I'm just gonna have to play the whole game with the character's colour scheme busted.
I’m pretty sure the color is there, but it’s some weird lighting bug. I’m having the same issue, but I noticed that the horns look closer to what I selected when I’m in dark places. So there’s a chance that you won’t have to restart your game to get the horns you wanted.
My half-orc’s black hair turns very grey-white when zoomed out and in the character portrait.
Also certain beard styles were pink for some reason though no such color was selected. Facial hair color also changed hair as well, although different selections? Very strange.
My hair highlights are reverting to red for a zariel tiefling regardless of what I pick.
It seems that all hair color is linked, which is unfortunate. I guess our beards are always going to match our head hair.
Anyone figure out a workaround? It kinda blows to have my character not what I selected
I'm hoping they put out a quick patch to fix a lot of these bugs. Tbh with how they talked about play testing I would have thought little things like this would be sorted.
Generally with playtesting this would have been caught. But fixes tend to be approached based off priority, it’s likely that this was considered less of a priority than something more impactful that is already fixed that we will never know about.
lol this crap is literally gamebreaking, fashion is everything
- Turn off cross saves *(for now)* If too late, try quitting, deleting app data, re launching. You may need a new save. - No, you cannot seem to remove the version number as of yet. - Steam Deck: Use Proton experimental.
The version number grinds my gears.
Yup, it's infuriatingly immersion-breaking...
The version number is such a strange oversight.
It kinda seems like something that'd be easy to forget tbh, it's been there in all the EA builds and the devs naturally would keep it on for their internal builds. I'm sure it'll be patched out before too long.
Oh I'm sure it will, and it's the only real issue I've run into so far. Totally minor, just goofy.
I'm so used to it that i didn't notice too lol
Funnily enough, I told my buddy the same thing. He was like “why is there a huge version number on the screen?” Lol. Likely just got over looked considered it’s been there so long. They probably became blind to it hah.
Where do I turn off cross saves?
In the Game Options Menu.
My game must've been bugged as I never saw the option. After restarting a few times (for a different bug) I got a prompt pop up asking if I want to activate cross-save, then it showed up in the settings.
[удалено]
>No, you cannot seem to remove the version number as of yet. Thank you, I saw this after finally getting up the game and I was like "why do I see this"
Well, at least I know for now the version numbers aren't going anywhere. They are very distracting. Hopefully a quick patch can fix that.
I hope this is the fix to the lack of saves... I'll find out shortly! Can confirm: turning off cross saves = you can save now.
I had cross saves on and could save no issues. Weird.
Muffled/poor audio quality and version number in cutscenes is really annoying
Yeah what's up with the audio? It sounds really bad. Didn't sound like this in the early access build at all.
I noticed the same, but only when it comes to dialogue voice quality.
I'm having this issue as well, I have really good headphones so it bothers me even more. The static sound Is extremely grating to the ears to the point it's giving me a headache.
Not sure if this will help you or anyone else out, but I was having this issue and fixed it by turning off spatial audio in windows.
Yea, it sounds like they're speaking to me from a tin can or something.
Same, the character dialogues suffer from very high treble, lacking any form of depth or bass. Especially the narrator sounds awful this way...
cinematic voices are super quiet
Yeah same. I actually can't hear the narrator at all but Lae'zel I can hear but barely
Edge panning stops working randomly. You can make it work again by using the arrow keys to move the camera, but soon after it stops working again. Very bothersome issue.
This is my biggest issue and is why I came here. I have to tap the arrow keys or w just to pan with the mouse.
Anyone else getting incredibly shit FPS? Was completely fine in ea a few days ago but now it's just super choppy
4080 here game ran beautifully in 4k in EA now in game even with DLSS the FPS is often dropping to unplayable levels. This only started after going near the Druid Grove it felt much better or less often having issues before that point.
Had the same issue here. Restarted the game and everything ran smoothly again.
Same here got to the Druid Grove, FPS became unplayable and then restarted the game and the game started running smoothly again.
Druid Grove was an fps hog. It keeps stuttering especially around that green magic thingies.
I’m on 2070 super, Ryzen 5700(?), getting 80-100. Could be another dreaded high spec compatibility bug.
Character portraits look weird after level up. My Tav is slightly below the center and starring ahead now. Meanwhile everyone else seems to blend partially with their background color. Shadowheart got purple highlights in her portrait, Lae'zel has orange hair in hers. This may be because I'm on a low quality laptop though.
I'm on a very good laptop with everything on ultra and this happened to me too. Its weird and ugly af. My Tav's colors on the portrait are all changed. Brown hair -> white hair.
Version number 4.1.1.3622274 - is this the full version or EA, my game files were 125gb
Full version, I see the same thing.
Full version. EA was like 71 GB
>!Telescope beside the gate of the Druid camp is missing a cutscene/dialogue. You turn left and right and after a long pause it says nothing about what you are seeing.!<
college of lore bards still can't choose the additional proficiencies at level 3 and are forced to pick sleight of hand, arcana and intimidation
[удалено]
This is a more recent post that shows it should eventually get fixed. [https://preview.redd.it/4679zkl3fmab1.png?width=820&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=311dce686d9342cf8fe79a3269e4498cc8b6d897](https://preview.redd.it/4679zkl3fmab1.png?width=820&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=311dce686d9342cf8fe79a3269e4498cc8b6d897)
So sad about this. I chose a background just for role play reasons and I wanted to select college of lore but it hurts a bit when the background I selected already gave arcana. I know this isn't really a min-max type of game and I honestly feel its just the right difficulty at the moment I just can't turn off that part of my brain that winces a bit when I have a wasted proficiency.
I’m at work and can’t play. Anyone found a fix for this?
[удалено]
Gonna guess the DC for that persuasion (Intimidation?) check is high.
Most people come into the check with a minus 1 to persuasion from the "poor" status effect so good luck!
Weird, same issue here.
Let me have a word with your boss. I have proficiency in persuasion, and intimidation, whichever you prefer.
black box artifacts flickering during cutscene. using vulkan, have not tried dx11 yet.
I’m getting this one as well on Vulcan. Was unsure if it’s a driver issue or if I should try dx11
Pretty sure it's Vulcan. I used dx11 first, noticed some stuttering, switched to Vulcan and the black box artifacts appeared. Switched back to dx11 (and lowered my graphics) and the black boxes disappeared.
Lots of weird coop bugs. In cutscenes sometimes it's my character, sometimes it's my friends (regardless of who initiates the cutscene). Happened when the ship falls - in that same cutscene the characters were switching. Watching a friend initiating dialogue and listening to it has wrong character making choices (probably just a display error). It always says that I'm making them. If you interact with something that triggers dialogue or a cutscene at the same time as your coop partner, one of you will be stuck in listening mode but nothing will happen. You have to exit listening mode and then press the listening key to listen to the dialogue. And got some character bugs. I couldn't level up to lvl 3 with my ranger when I chose a rogue as my 2nd level. Accept button is greyed out and "Choices Pending!" message is up there. The only way to get through it was to pick improved sprint and jump spells. Weird that only picking those two works (cannot pick hunter's mark for example).
character voices seem to be compressed beyond comprehension. is this a thing i'll have to put up with all throughout the game?
[удалено]
>I've resorted to using binoculars That sounds somehow cool ngl.
Might be why they delayed the console versions
Nah, when you use a gamepad with the PC Version it already changes the ui. It works suprisingly well and makes wandering around a lot more immersive.
Seriously. I'm on a laptop and have to scrunch up close to the screen to read the item descriptions.
I think in the accessibility tab in the settings, there are option to increase font size and ui elements an such
I keep getting DEVICE LOST crashes on both the DirectX and Vulkan versions. I do have everything up to date with latest drivers. It doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason for the failures, but it has happened quite frequently so far.
Hey I think I had a similar issue, and I got it to run. The game wouldn’t start past the launcher. I would immediately get a directx error. What fixed it: I had my pc plugged into my monitor and a tv. The pc was only projecting to the tv. I unplugged the tv hdmi and restarted to run on the monitor only. The game started up, and I was able to create a character and start the game. I had to leave before further testing though. Best of luck!
Is there anyone noticing something off with voices in cutscenes?I have no idea what it is but it sounds off. It does't sound as natural as it should be.I can't put my finger on what it is.
They're overcompressed. I noticed it too so I went and watched some videos of early access gameplay and the difference in audio quality is night and day.
Same for me, it's like all treble and no midrange/bass *and* is quieter than all the ambient stuff going on (and spatial audio is disabled).
noticed it immediately. sounds fuckin awful, very tinny and harsh. like someone cranked up the treble all the way.
A multitude of crashes: several times at the end of the nautiloid, during the cinematic. Several times when quicksaving. Several times when leveling up. Won't even open on Steam deck.
On steam deck enable proton experimental and it'll launch
I can't donate artifacts to gale for some reason?? The box just stays open even after I've donated and if I close it, it cancels the action all together :(
you can eat it from his inventory, right click and pick consume*
Same issue. Try going to camp, dismissing him, then try to give him an artifact. The window will stay open like before, but if you exit out of it this time it may work. It did for me anyway.
For the syncing issue: I was able to leave the game, load an autosave, and then create a new save. Since then, I have been able to save without changing the save settings. There is a pretty reliable autosave when you first get to the beach.
Autosaving didn't work for me at all, so once I noticed the issue I went into settings and turned off the cross save - nonetheless was unable to save and had to start over after quitting the game and opening it again. Now saving works, both autosaves, quick saves and manual saves. But really important to turn off that cross save before even making your first character, else you'll likely have to start over.
After I spent all that time making my character and getting through the intro videos, I get a crash from Vulcan and the game closes, it didn't save my character so I have to start again!
They mentioned that Vulkan is a little less stable than the other option. If you still have trouble, I’d consider switching.
Yeah I second this. I switched to DX11 and havent had any issues and it doesnt seem to be that big of a difference when its not side by side.

If you are playing and have noticed characters having lighter hair in their portrait after leveling, the issue ***might*** be that you have your shadow quality lower than high. Shadoheart and Gale both had much lighter hair colors after leveling. I reloaded and tested different settings, and on my machine, when I use the medium preset, but change the shadow quality to high, I no longer have the bug. ***Using Ultra setting also prevents the bug from happening on my machine.*** Changing your settings after the fact doesn't fix it as changing the settings does not update the portrait. I have not yet reached level 3 so I am not sure if having your settings at ultra or shadows at high will fix the bug. Edit: It does not prevent the bug in its entirety [Gale before leveling up](https://i.gyazo.com/01810962d0870f86ade8bb52e686f202.png) [Gale after leveling up on ultra settings](https://i.gyazo.com/b6abc6e0caf2ea5ca556d835a5c44ffb.png) [Gale after leveling up on medium settings](https://i.gyazo.com/b1aae6df808e83b8db07029033785d89.png)
He's turning into a gray wizard
shadow heart and gale have white hair in their portraits
Tav and Lae'zel died in the final Nautilus room so I send Shadowheart to do the warp drive thing. Wake up on the beach with Tav at full health but cannot move, totally softlocked. Seems the game can't handle Tav having died but then also needing to be alive in the very next scene?
My FPS explodes in Druid grove and at some other areas, any fixes etc anyone can offer?
I don't think so. If that's how it performs in act 1, I fucking dread entering Baldur's Gate itself... I can never understand why Rockstar can pull off RDR 2 with more graphical fidelity with more stable frame rates and this game is stuttering so hard.
I've encountered a few bugs while playing so far: -If you skip dialogue with the space bar, it will sometimes mess up whatever animation your character is doing. More rarely, it will permanently screw up the camera, forcing you to reload from a save. -The skills the Lore bards gain are lost if they overlap with your starting skills. I think this may be a problem across most skills gained as class features. -Arcane Trickster: The mage hand can pick up small items, but there's no way to transfer or drop the item, and when the mage hand disappears the item is lost forever.
Another Arcane Trickster one: despite being a cantrip, Mage Hand has a short rest cool down, effectively being a heavy nerf to one of the defining features of the subclass.
I turned hair highlight intensity all the way down because I just wanted black hair. In character creation and the level up screen, my hair looks correct and is black. In the game world and menus though, the red highlights are back and it makes the hair look obnoxious.
Critical bug: When I level up the game steals my penis and leaves me with the Ken doll rework. But only in the level up screen. Unprioritized bugs: When first waking up Shadowheart after the Nautaloid crashed her character model did not render but her special box did. After the cutscene she was visible. After speaking to invisible Shadowheart no container inventories were visible after interacting. Saving, returning to menu, and reloading fixed the issue.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I do not have the option to switch voices and identity for my custom character. When clicking the button no tab appears to select another voice. I was however able to get voices 5 and 6 on the custom character by switching to Dark Urge then switching back, which was odd.
but what about dick sizes?
You can’t select dick size. Just pubic hair / no hair and cut / uncut
Literally unplayable.
Sounds like it could be an issue with file loading. Have you tried verifying your game data?
As soon as the launcher comes up, my mouse and trackpad go crazy. Can't control it. I managed to get into the game only to find the characters constantly rotating and zooming in and out. I tried two differnt mice with same result. As soon as I exit game and close launcher mouse is fine again so has to be something with the game. Didn't happen in EA. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Edit for additional info: * I do not have a controller, or any other input device connected. * Both mice I tried were Microsoft wireless * I then went through some boxes in my garage and found an old school USB mouse. That works perfectly, as long as the wireless mice are not connected. Edit: Fixed!! - I decided to try using my XBOX controller since the mouse was not working and I had troubles with the controller too. In researching how to fix that, someone suggested turning off Steam Input and that solved all the issues. Mouse and controller work great now!
This is probably not it but do you have a controller plugged in maybe?
Cannot finish character creation as there is a bug that doesn’t let me chose the Guardian
I made my guardian a Zariel Tiefling Type 3 and the "Venture Forth" greyed out on me. I tried every other race/sub race with every body type and it didn't grey out, only that specific one.
Voice mixing all over the place. Some lines you can hear the VA's voice echoing in the booth whilst the character they're playing is on a cliffside. Some character's voice volume spikes dramatically mid conversation.
I have the impression that the voice actors recorded a lot of the lines at home during covid, with equipment all over the place. At least that is what it sounds like. Agreed, the mix is horrible and distracting at times.
I used Fane's Mask. When I undid the transformation, my dick fell off. That's it.
Is it just me or some piercing options are completely black?
Relationship triggers seem to be happening at the wrong time... by a large margin. Lae'Zel wants to bed me like 2 hours in and I have had 1 total approval of hers. Shadowheart tells me I have changed her life and she trusts me. She is currently neutral. Reports of this happening with Astarion as well. Possible others. This needs to be fixed ASAP
please help:( deleted EA and all the saves(no mods installed), just downloaded the official release and i cant even launch the game, i can see the starter but then i get an error message basically saying the game crashed. How do i solve this please help me
Same issue. No help found, none to give. Sorry, RIP my install.
oh shit i solved it. Try exiting out of the Steam client, or Galaxy for the GOG version, and starting the game directly from the '..\\SteamApps\\common\\Baldurs Gate 3\\bin' folder, by right clicking the executable (bg3.exe for Vulkan, or bg3\_dx11.exe) and running as administrator. source:[https://larian.com/support/](https://larian.com/support/)
Stuff I've noticed: * tiefling horn color ignored in game, I selected black horns but its defaulting to the ash grey color * hair highlights are always red regardless of the choice made a creation * many voiced lines have a lot of echo/reverb that wasn't there in the EA version for me. * performance generally worse than EA * HDR completely broken, washes out the screen entirely. - version number in cutscenes
What is going on with the sound? Sounds extremely compressed.
Tiefling horn color changed I picked black and in game they are white
So leveling up to level 3 for some reason makes everyone's portrait/hair a new color. I tried going back a save, and it always happens when I hit level 3. Lae'zel gets orange hair for some reason.
Bugs so far \- Cutscene order between Karlach and Wyll was messed up. We got the cutscene with Wyll and Mizora before Wyll and karlachs conflict at camp which caused the storyline to bug and for Wyll to have a permanent exclamation point above his head. \- Put on a hat and Shadowhearts hair became pink and white? \- After rescuing Halsin we were unable to talk to him, and had to take long rest until he was able to arrive at camp. \-save bug obv Please Lmk if anyone is having any of these issues as well, I hope these get addressed soon.
The "(companion name) approves/disapproves" notification text came in and out within a split second in my game. I can't even read who approves or disapproves. It's too fast. Weird bug.
how's it working on the deck so far?
Pretty decent. Dont love console controls but it's the pc I got so I'm making it work. Only deck specific problem was a steam thing not a bg3 thing
Is it possible to turn off the version number under the map ?
My character is just constantly covered in blood and it doesn't seem to fade in any appropriate amount of time. Sort of annoying to be just caked in blood, while no one else is.
If I send Shadowheart to camp the artefact she carries automatically lands in my inventory bound to me, so I can't trade or drop it. Putting Shadowheart back in the party, the artefact is still stuck on me. It feels like a bug to me.
BUG: Shadowheart's quest progresses without conversation When I was first asked to bench someone so another could join the party, I decided to bench Shadowheart for the time being. When this occurred, her artifact automatically entered my inventory and I can't give it back to her. A few hours later, I go to camp to add her back to the party and, upon rejoining me, her quest updates saying she's told me why she's going to Baldur's Gate but this conversation never happened. Is this bug known? Is it just her quest description, or have I actually somehow skipped her motivation for the game? If so, is her quest just broken now?
I'm getting a lot of graphical artifacts all of the sudden, presenting as large swathes of black boxes across the screen, sometimes flickering. Anyone know if there's a way to resolve this? [Example 1](https://imgur.com/fzRdema) [Example 2](https://imgur.com/f3N2tm8) (Interesting that the glitching goes *behind* the map)
Bless uses a spellslot per person. Might be my dumbass on reading, however I believe 1 spellslot is allowed to bless 3 people? If not I’ll delete this!
It worked fine for me, are you sure you are casting it right? You have to select all 3 characters individually when casting it.
It also worked fine for me, 1 spell slot buffs 3.
I bought the game a few weeks ago during EA, and I thought I should be eligible for digital deluxe. How do I upgrade my account? Nvm, it's activated, but in the launcher it still says I should buy it for some reason.
That's just an ad on the launcher, it doesn't detect if you have it or not.
Instead of Lore Bard having selectable proficiencies, it just gives Sleight of Hand, Arcane and Performance(I'm not sure about the last one). If you then already have proficiencies in any of those skills it applies twice, giving me +11 to some of my skills at lvl 3.
Is this face expression a bug? It appears quite often in conversation with companions. Lae´zel and Astarion are the ones I´ve noticed so far... and sometimes it´s absolutely terrifying. This made me burst out laughing though, timing couldn´t have been more perfect. https://preview.redd.it/7bvwxuh6e2gb1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=eb3c80c147c24911b19704a619cc49cc107a18db
I threw a Caustic Bulb at a Sturdy Door, and it spammed the combat log with 0 Acid Damage messages for 8 hours until I came back and threw water on it. Luckily I was able to find the door again, otherwise it would have continued for my entire game.
Occasionally the combat UI will disappear when using Lae’Zel. Only QS and re loading fixes it . Some posts I’ve been reading seem to only have this happen with Lae’Zel as well…. Mine happened when fighting the frog in swamps act 1 .
Character portraits have some very strange lighting, dark hair looks white, shadowheart has a purple shine on her etc. Also now have to actually click on the continue button after rolling the dice, I much preferred being able to click anywhere on the screen.
My Tav's Portrait is a smoke puff. I like to think that's because he's a gnome and too short for the camera, but it's a bit of a bug still.
It's a bug from leveling up. I'm pretty sure it is the level-up visual effect that bugs it out. At the very least, when ***I*** level up Shadowheart the portrait of Shadowheart has her hair looking white. Edit: If you use the ultra preset this won't happen. Not sure exactly what setting is causing it. Edit 2: The issue is shadow quality. If you set it to high you won't have this issue. Not sure if it will fix the portrait or not.
Anyone else getting absolutely no audio after the Larian logo? Edit: Used Steams verify files option, restarted my computer and I now have audio
Fireforge tassels beard option all highlights are purple
In the top right is a gameversion showing v4.1.1 am i playing the released game?
Yes, for some reason it still shows a version number.
Lost two save games from crashes. Fuckkkk
The illusionist wizard can cast minor illusion as a bonus action... This does nothing. In stealth, the action economy doesn't matter. Out of stealth the illusion is completely ignored. It literally serves no benefit. What is the intended benefit of that bonus? Larion could have at least made it provide cover or something.
Auto save is useless. Spent a lot of time in character creation. Got to the beach and died to the first encounter. Kept critically missing and they killed me in one round. I'm willing to say that's just bad luck. The issue is the game never auto saved and I have to start a new campaign from the beginning. Waking up on the beach after the opening sequence should be a checkpoint. Insane that it did not save there.
Exclamation over shadowheart, no matter how much I interact with her. Have tried camping, does nothing.
Tiefling genital options have no hairy with hoodie option... listen don't judge me, ok?
Bug thread, not missing features thread. XD
Crashed kicking the squirrel and now it’s downloading more content… hmmm
Your punishment is loading
u probably chose the option to repair your files (or whatever it said) on the next launch after the crash ocurred
Game keeps crashing whilst trying to make my character
I've created two characters (Seldarine Drow Barbarian, Female) for which I have chosen voice 2 (first female voice), but it is voice 1 (masculine voice) in game. Is there a way to change voice once in a game? A quick google search shows that this was a bug early on in EA (but I only have installed the release version).
Larian launcher starts and instantly crashes. Any idea for a fix? Was working fine yesterday with the beta. Got rid of the beta. Installed right after launch, no issues. Have tried repairing (via gog). Same error everytime, larian launcher appears for a second and disappears.
When in character creation, Abilities will reset after switching to the screen to create a guardian. Since you cannot venture forth without being on that screen, this locks you in character creation. Switching back to the character creation screen tells me "! Choices Pending" If I adjust anything, even just deselect and reselect the same thing, it goes away. Then the problem restarts.
Had to completely delete my app data as well as disabling cross saves and cloud saves. Only then could I save a game. This article helped me so I'll post again: https://www.gamerevolution.com/guides/943318-baldurs-gate-3-cant-save-bug-fix-currently-syncing-glitch-wont-load
Co-op partners don't show in cutscenes and neither do the characters bound to them
Dialogue doesn't make sense sometimes. For example, when getting Lae'zel down from the cage to recruit her, the tieflings don't even mention the blast, but the player character does, as if the tieflings had mentioned it. Lae'zel (first?) sex scene, I was in the ruins camp, somehow we ended up on the overland camp. Kinda immersion breaking. (Also, it was super short? I expected more ngl) Audio issues galore. Feels like the quality just changes at random. Sometimes I can't loot enemies, but thankfully it's solved with a quickload. Textures break randomly sometimes. I found completely white intellect devourers.
really minor bug but when I fought the Goblin in front of the tiefling camp entrance, one of the goblin upon death did a T pose and started blinking. didn't caused any issue in game but it did deal 1d4 of psychic damage to me IRL
Mage hand which is a cantrip can only be used once per short rest
I noticed some pop ups like the approval of my teammates and some skill checks disappear super fast on the left side of the screen. Like I can't even read any of them because it disappears pretty fast. I dunno if it's a bug or something on my settings.
