*game freezes for two minutes*

party members won’t follow
characters taking action in battles sit there for 30 seconds before doing anything
audio cues don’t play
quests don’t work because the scripting doesn’t work

very disappointed larian! all this suffering so i can talk to cows :mad:

I’m playing on ps5. appears to be a common issue after patch 4. act 3 is “unplayable” and i start to see real slowdowns in act 2 :negative:

baldur's gate 3: redemption!

https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=925241

quote:

In Patch 4 we introduced a fix that would prevent the Scrying Eyes in Moonrise Towers from immediately calling the guards on you when stealing, even if you were sneaking, or invisible for example.

This fix had the unintended consequence of causing unnoticed thefts & acts of vandalism to remain stuck forever within the ‘did anyone see me’ pipeline, rather than timing out and moving on, as is intended. Essentially, your ‘DM’ - in a real-world sense - constantly thinks about the acts of theft & violence the player keeps doing, without ever moving on or verbalising them. Mulling on it ad infinitum.

These unnoticed and eternally-active acts of theft & violence eventually bogged down the game. The more a player commits those acts, the more the game is trying to keep that all up to date and in memory, and so the more slowdowns start happening. Essentially, the ‘DM’ eventually becomes unable to operate. By Act 3 this caused slow-down issues, which after some sleuthing we’re extremely happy to say we’ve solved in Patch 5, which is in testing and scheduled to release this week.

lmao so the game bugged out because it couldn't keep up with all the stealing i was doing. next maybe they can figure out why the inventory was so hosed up and lovely

i'm guessing they're probably related as all the stolen items in inventory would still be marked as stolen and the game is stuck running code for who may have noticed it

Tunic surprised me with the puzzles and secrets. The little guide book, finding pages, all the handwritten notes is really cute and you can just ignore it all and smash everything if you don’t care. it’s like a little hollow knight with some modern puzzle games thrown in

just curious, is anyone still tangentially involved or plugged into the boardgame industry? ive got a huge shelf that we used to play all the time (though stopped buying around 2018 from oversat) but between a long pandemic+we're all geriatrics+live far enough with commute weariness, that they're basically all just collecting dust these days. looks like on youtube that most of the better ones are all ones from like 2011-2018 still

we have a board game cafe here but it's now 99% exclusively students or computer touchers on laptops doing homework and no one actually playing anything and pivoted more toward a standard coffee shop with a lot of seating

seems like the industry, hype train, and base has fallen out?

most of my friends have moved, had kids, or only like terrible monkey cheese random party games, so my little collection also gathers dust. extremely sad

my spouse even got into Twilight Imperium but nobody even wants to play much simpler games :negative:
