, which seemed to confuse a lot of players.«No, the Patch 8 stress test hasn’t yet begun,» Larian clarified on social media at the time. «Yes, PS5 players do currently have access to Patch 8. While we work with our partners to understand what’s going on, please note that any new saves made while on Patch 8 will not be compatible with Patch 7. How’s your Monday going?»
The update was swiftly rolled back, however, this may have caused some compatibility issues for those on PS5 who were affected, especially if they are using mods. It could render their save game unplayable or corrupted.
Thankfully, Larian has shared an easy solution to hopefully get players back on track
«Our partners have confirmed that some regions mistakenly received the Patch 8 build as an update to their live game version, in preparation for the Patch 8 stress test,» the studio said in a new blog post. «This version of Patch 8 is not supported, and you may experience compatibility issues with save games and mods.
»You can return to the Patch 7 game version by uninstalling and reinstalling your Baldur’s Gate 3 game."
