A large content update & round of bug fixes are coming to Baldur’s Gate 3, as a new patch is in development that will add requested features and address glitches that have been reported to the developer Larian Studios. While Baldur’s Gate 3 is very much playable in its retail form, there are still many issues that need addressing with the game.
Larian tells Baldur's Gate 3 players to delete early access saves and uninstall the game to avoid 'unintended conflicts' with the full launch
01.08.2023 - 19:19 / pcgamer.com / Swen Vincke
With just two days left until the Baldur's Gate 3 hammer finally falls, Larian Studios is recommending that anyone with the early access version ditch it completely to avoid any potential launch-day headaches.
«For Baldur's Gate 3 players with existing Early Access saves, we ask that prior to August 3, launch the game, and delete all save files to avoid unintended conflicts at launch,» Larian tweeted. «Also, remove any mods and ensure they do not automatically re-download.
»We recommend players with Early Access installed uninstall the game after deleting their save files. This will reduce the risk of file conflicts when the final game downloads, and should mean more playing, and no troubleshooting!"
Uninstalling the early access version of Baldur's Gate 3 immediately prior to launch might seem a little counter-intuitive, but Larian has made it clear that there's no benefit to keeping it around when the full release shows up. Saved games won't be transferable, and Larian boss Swen Vincke recently said the 1.0 release of the game is «going to be a full reinstall» anyway.
The studio said that a «full guide» to what players can expect in the final lead-up to launch will be posted on August 2, the day before Baldur's Gate 3 finally lands with full force. One thing we already know is that Baldur's Gate 3 is big, clocking in at around 122GB, and unfortunately there's no preload period: Every comes off the starting line at the same Baldur's Gate 3 launch time at 8 am PT/11 am ET on August 3.

Following Baldur's Gate 3's wildly successful PC launch and a few bug-squashing hotfixes, Larian CEO Swen Vincke says that the D&D RPG will get one more hotfix (there have been three so far) before its first big patch, which will include "+1,000 fixes and tweaks." That patch will then be followed by—and you might've been able to guess this—another patch, one which'll start to respond to player suggestions.

Larian boss says we should think of Baldur's Gate 3's entire first act as the tutorial
I've struggled at times on Baldur's Gate 3's normal difficulty, so I can only imagine how it feels for players who are brand new to D&D or Larian RPGs. With very little explanation, it chucks hotbars full of terms like «bonus action,» «cantrip,» spell slot," and so much more at players. If it feels like you missed a tutorial, you're not the only one, but in an interview with PC Gamer last week, Larian founder Swen Vincke contested that there is a tutorial in Baldur's Gate 3, just not a traditional step-by-step guide. It's all of Act 1.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Director Says an Expansion isn’t in Development, Would be “Very Hard”
In case you missed it, Baldur’s Gate 3 has left early access and is available now on PC. Thus far, it’s reached a peak concurrent player count of 814,666 on Steam, becoming the second-biggest launch on the platform for the year.
