Larian Studios released the first major patch for Baldur's Gate 3 last week, and it wants you to know that Patch 2 is in the works. Michael Douse, L

      It also crashes (at least for some people) if you set CPU affinity at all. That’s really strange, and problematic if you’re using certain cores for background work, or if you just want to avoid the game having to cross a CCD boundary. Here’s hoping they fix it.

      If it has that bad of a cpu affinity, and barely using 4 threads, i wonder why its hitting 100% on my 4 core 4th gen i5 and it has 47 threads… :')

      This game is in the height of fanboy denialism. Any criticism, no matter how small or how valid is met with rejection and blaming. It’s like you have to preface and end everything with “I am loving the game and recommend it” or else people will downvote you for not liking the game.

      It’s so upsetting seeing this game get praised as one of the most polished games. I guess the bar really is that low these days. I’m glad they’re actively fixing stuff but there’s a lot to fix.

      Ah yes, silly silly Larian studios. Why didn’t they think of this earlier!?

          Because when you are giant studio using Unreal Engine there really is no excuse for poor performance or porting. But when you are a (relatively to Epic or Sony/Microsoft etc) a tiny team building a game using the engine you came up with yourself with its roots somewhere around 2010-ish , back when 6 cores was a brand new thing and have been tweaking it ever since, you do get some slack if it doesn’t multithread perfectly.

            Yeah you get some slack as in I’ll still recommend the game, purchase it, enjoy it and state that it’s great. I’m still going to complain about shitty optimizations so that even more people get to enjoy the game in all it’s glory. It’s painful that my gf’s game lags all the time and that she can’t enjoy the same cutscenes that I do because of performance.

          The fact that you like the game/studio doesn’t change the fact that they’ve shipped an engine that treats modern CPUs like Core 2 Quads.

          Still playable on most systems. It’s not like cyberpunk level of gank

          edit: Cyberpunk xbox/ps I guess. It was fine for me on pc.

          Because a lot of people aren’t experiencing much in the way of performance issues yet? I’ve not yet reached Act 3 where I hear it has the most impact so performance has been fine for me, like the vast majority of the userbase at this stage, I imagine. I’ll see how I feel once I hit Act 3.

        If you made a valid point in a discussion positive manner, then people might take you seriously. But then again, maybe you want to come across as an asshole.

      Of all the games to comment this on, BG3 is one game that is justified at full price for the sheer density of it, and all of it interesting. From day one they were hotfixing and it’s never run badly, just not perfectly optimized.

      I get gaming on a budget but this comment really sounds like hate trying to say it doesn’t deserve full price.

        Friendly reminder that some people earn full price in less than an hour of work, while others don’t earn that much in a week.

          Yup. Prices are a % of one’s income. It might 0.002% for someone and 32% for another.

          The poster said keep patching, as if they will help it come down in price.

          I’m not so sure they are worried of the price and more for a buggy game at full price (which it absolutely is NOT)

          My love for the first two games is sortof why I’m avoiding it. I mean, I even didn’t like the concept of the proposed Black Hound game being called Baldur’s Gate 3. So I’m going to come in with opinions and just ruin it for myself even if its as good as some say, and that’s assuming WoTC having decades to ruin every scrap of coherency in the setting’s lore hasn’t impacted things negatively. (One thing I really appreciate about Larian’s handling of BG3 is that they gave me enough info to come to that conclusion first.)

      Lmao, if by wins you mean loses out than yea. BG3 is an amazing experience and you’re not gonna have a bad time period in terms of playability.

      This isn’t the games that day 1, week 1, week 2, etc patches because the game was released unfinished. This is them taking serious user feedback for small niche issues. That’s how you properly care for your user base.

      But keep hating on things you don’t actually understand I guess

    I am absolutely fucking loving this game. The split screen coop is incredible, albeit it needs some work. Honestly one of the best game me and my SO have played in a long, long time and by far the most immersive campaign we’ve ever been able to play together.

    I’m playing on Linux and there are only a few issues I’ve come across: local multiplayer is disabled by default and requires an environment variable to enable, also there seems to be a memory leak after playing for a few hours where fps drops pretty dramatically. Other than that I don’t think there’s much of a difference between windows and pc.

    I’m one of the six or seven Mac gamers out there…

    Cross-platform play currently isn’t available for me and my PC buddies until the Mac version gets the full release build next week. If the PC version is on patch 2, will that still be compatible for cross-platform play, or will we forever be playing catch up?
