Baldur’s Gate 3 is topping the charts a day after its launch. Larian Studios’ latest Dungeons & Dragons-based title doesn’t have a Metascore yet, but that isn’t stopping the game from performing well in the market. This proves how critics don’t always dictate the community reception of a game.

However, despite the game being at the top of the charts on Steam, there is an issue that is causing some annoyance to the players. A bug seems to be preventing in-game saves, which is resulting in a loss of progress for many. Folks at Larian Studios have said that they’re aware of the bug’s problems and may have some insights on how to solve the issue.

Larian Studios have the solution to the in-game save issue

On the Steam discussion page of Baldur’s Gate 3, many players reported that their attempts to make saves in the game were disrupted by a bug. Understandably, the matter has caused quite an annoyance to the players. With Baldur’s Gate 3 performing well in the market, the devs obviously need to solve the problem soon to maintain momentum.

The devs behind the game also revealed that the existence of the bug is not new knowledge for the studio. They have claimed that they may have a solution to the matter as well. According to Larian, Windows Defender may be the culprit that’s causing in-game save prevention.

Fans suggest more ways to resolve the issue in Baldur’s Gate 3

Some fans also have their own ideas about why such an issue may recur over and over again. Community members suggest that a cloud sync error can also cause the bug and a loss of progress. There may be three ways to solve such an issue. Firstly, turning off cloud sync for Baldur’s Gate 3 will do the trick. As an alternate option, deleting the “C:\Users\myUser\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur’s Gate 3″ file can also solve the in-game save problem. One more way to make sure the problem doesn’t persist is by disabling cloud sync when launching the game.

While Baldur’s Gate 3 is yet to release on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox, the PC release is already seeing massive player counts. Till now, it’s behind only Hogwarts Legacy in terms of overall player count, which can change with the release of the console versions.
