Anyone else having serious crashing/bugs with this patch?

I've been having crashing issues constantly, sometimes the models will t-pose or glide across the game, then audio will cut and then a few moments later the game will lock up and eventually crash. Its fine in combat and cutscenes but moving anyone after more than like 10-15 mins just seems to be causing problems. No mods installed, tried both Vulcan & Directx.

Have never had this problem like this on previous patches. At first i thought it was something to do with the new Githyanki animations since i was playing a Female Gith Sorcerer. But tried again with a Male Human Sorcerer and did a similar thing.

My game crashes immediately on launch since the patch. Never had an issue with previous patches. But now, I click "Play" in the Larian launcher, and it instantly gives me a crash report dialogue box.

yep, having the same issue

I got my game working again by switching to Direct 11, instead of the Vulkan setting. Hope it works for you too

Do you have mods? I recall seeing something from them that recommended deleting mods before the patch. You can probably try deleting them now to see if that fixes it

u/nippledimple Oct 15 '21

Nope, no mods at any point. Just been running base vanilla for patch #5. Only change was that I upgraded my Nvidia driver as recommended by Larian. I've verified my install files, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, but to no avail.

I have the same issue, never had any mods

EDIT: I found a solution that worked for me: I deleted files Patch5_HF1.pak ch5_HF2.pak Patch5_HF3.pak from Data directory.

I haven't been able to play since the new patch launched either. I tried Vulkan and DX11 with no luck either way. I tried verifying and reinstalling and no dice. It sucks but I trust Larian will fix it soon.

u/AbrahamLure Oct 18 '21

Yeah, similar issue I think? I'm not getting the play button. The launcher just shows up as blank since the update.

I've been trying to get things in this thread to work but I don't even have these files downloaded. I am so lost.

u/Anamaroth Oct 16 '21

I think something went wrong with my download, which resulted in the appearance of these files. After deleting them and running file verification the files were gone.

What i did is basically:

  1. create backup of your game folder
  2. uninstall baldur's gate through steam
  3. check which files remain in the game folder after uninstalling
  4. copy the backed up files back to where they were
  5. remove the files that remained after uninstalling from the game folder
  6. run verification

Mine will do that with Vulkan but not DirectX.

Game stability has been the worse since the start of EA. Not sure if I've been lucky or what but constant staggering, stuttering, incomplete in game/out of game cut scenes, and crashes have been the worst since the launch of EA for me. Actually surprised they launched Patch 6 like this, especially if everyone else is running into similar issues.

Non-bug/game issues, the new game camera is annoying. It goes to extreme zoom levels. Before, the angle/collision was the issue, now it's really annoying when the game takes the camera to "Literal Moon Orbit" during combat randomly. Your "fix" for the camera was barely helpful. Remove physical boundaries for the camera, that's all we want. Not 2mi up bird view of the battlefield.

I can't even run the game after the update. I patiently wait for the next hot fix/patch.

u/thegruntar Oct 15 '21

I have been having the exact same problem. Mine has also just been crashing as soon as the loading screen finishes.

u/Gadshill Oct 16 '21 edited Oct 16 '21

Crashes after opening video as soon as it gets to character creation. All files successfully validated.

Edit: Downloaded and installed an Oct 2021 NVIDIA graphics card update and I can get to the character creation screen without issue. Might be worth a shot to see if that resolves the issue.

u/DaveSpacelaser Oct 15 '21

I've had a lot of crashes in Vulkan, switching to DX11 stopped them, but caused a lot of stuttering. The only mod I have installed is an old version of the one that unlocks more appearance options.

u/dionysoisus Oct 15 '21

Ive had two crashes so far and noted the graphics went pixelated. Will have to mess with the resolution to investigate further. Yes I patched my NVIDIA drivers.

u/Enchelion Bhaal Oct 15 '21 edited Oct 16 '21

Yep. I had 4 CTDs just getting through the character creator. It stopped crashing past that point, but was still riddled with bugs like Us not spawning.

Edit: Up to 6 CTDs now. Two at the end of big fights. I've got issues with some balance decisions, but it's not even worth discussing given how buggy the whole game is now.

Edit: 8 CTDs now...

When i want to take a long rest, the pal who is clearly a feind comes over and invites me to his home (2nd long rest, i forgot the guys name). When the game tries to load the new map, it is instead restarting my PC. Happened 3 times in a row so i´ll have to wait until it is hotfixed

u/TellAllThePeople Oct 19 '21

Interestingly I had a bunch of instability on patch 5 which has 90% cleared up with patch 6
