Stopping me from quicksaving every two minutes is a gross violation of my rights and dignity.
. The good news is that, if you're running into this, Larian is directing you to a help page on its website that should hopefully solve the issue. The bad news is that you aren't getting any of the progress you lost to a busted save back.
The issue seems to be tied to BG3's cloud sync service for its many, many save games. Players encountering the bug report the game becoming trapped in an endless sync loop, preventing them from saving or loading while the game works fruitlessly to offload data to the cloud.
If none of Larian's recommendations are helping you out, some players on the Steam forums report success in just deactivating cloud sync entirely. Those players recommend turning off the game's"Cross Save" setting under its Gameplay Settings before wholesale deleting the Baldur's Gate 3 folder in AppData/Local/Larian Studios. Taking cloud saves out of the equation should, hopefully, get the game back on track.
Hopefully, it won't be a problem for long. Larian told IGN that it's aware of the issue and Larian CEO Swen Vincke tweeted earlier today that the game's first hotfix is already well on its way. With any luck, this won't be an issue for players affected by it for long.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.
