Baldur’s Gate 3: How To Fix Game Crashing On Launch
Hotfix 2 for Baldur’s Gate 3 is now live, and it has unfortunately caused some problems, despite its attempt to fix them. A lot of users are complaining about the game no longer launching, and a few fans on Reddit have come up with solutions that have worked to bypass the issue.
Baldur’s Gate 3 spent years in Early Access, but the game still has several bugs at launch. From my own experiences, these include key items vanishing, T-posing, and repeated scenes, though none of them are game-breaking (yet.) There is also Baldur’s Gate 3’s encumbrance glitch, which forces characters into a state where they are permanently encumbered, though there is a way around it.
