Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players complain patch 4 \u201cbroke\u201d its final act Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 is in some turmoil as players report some major issues with the game\u2019s third act. Following the latest major patch, performance issues and bugs have severely dampened the experience. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is not just one of 2023\u2019s biggest video game releases, its uncanny mass appeal has made it one of the most-played games of all time. The seemingly niche CRPG has captured the imagination of players worldwide and netted eight nominations at the 2023 Game Awards. Its success and popularity have placed Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 high in GOTY contender lists since its stellar launch but some have suggested that its performance should preclude it. Early issues with the game\u2019s final act were initially resolved by Larian but the game\u2019s most recent patch has seen them rear their ugly head once more. Reddit user u\/King_Brass took to the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Subreddit with a complaint that \u201cpatch 4 broke Act 3\u201d. Many players across the two platforms the game is currently available on have echoed the sentiment. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players report numerous issues after patch 4 Relaying their experience with the PC version of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 on Steam, u\/King_Brass claimed that \u201cthe entire environment in Act 3 is shut down\u201d. They reported issues such as companions not following the player character, NPCs and broken interactions halting progress, and problems with saving or loading the game. Severe lag was also mentioned in their initial post but it seems that these issues are not exclusive to the PC version of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. \u201cIt is even worse on PS5,\u201d one player explained. \u201cI was on my second playthrough, and the game is unplayable after reaching Act 3,\u201d another PlayStation 5 player admitted. \u201cLiterally passing the Basilisk Gate is when your party will stop following and start to lag.\u201d On top of the problems initially relayed by u\/King_Brass, players reported massive loading times and companions freezing regularly. Users in the comments have petitioned Larian Studios to \u201cfix the game\u201d as soon as possible. While PC and PlayStation 5 players are currently struggling with these issues in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s final act, a far bigger problem is plaguing Xbox users. All 3 acts of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 are currently unplayable on the console. Larian will announce a solution to that particular matter at the Game Awards on December 8, 2023. In the meantime, we\u2019ll have to wait and see if the studio can resolve the Act 3 problems from the latest patch soon and prove worthy of the Best Community Support nomination they\u2019ve worked so hard for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
