Anybody Else Got 'Mismatched Data'?

[GrandMajora]

Okay, ever since the most recent 'hotfix' came out, my launcher keeps trying to tell me it's detected a data mismatch, which may be caused by mods, corrupted files or what have you. I am not running any mods on this game, and I can't think of anything that may have corrupted the files.

I was just ignoring it at first, but now my game just crashed when trying to get into a multiplayer, so I feel like it's become an actual problem.

I'm verifying the game cache at the time of writing this, hoping that might fix it.

Did you use mods in the past? If so, they might not have been deleted.
Make sure you have nothing in
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods
and
<GameDir>\Data\Generated
and
<GameDir>\Data\Public
You might need to verify your files afterwards, after you deleted anything in those directories

Nope, I have not used any modded content.

The absolute closest to that, would probably be me joining somebody else's modded game in multiplayer. But I always check the boxes to hide modded content, or different versions of the game when doing so.

Well, I don't know how the game behaves with joining a modded server, so it might be worth checking those directories anyway...it's just a guess, though, as I had that problem once with modded files in my Game directory, and deleting the mentioned folders solved that.

Didn't have anything in Mods. Do you think it might have something to do with Player Profiles? Because I still have the file for those, even though profiles are no longer in the game's current version.

I honestly don't know, but it certainly might be worth checking. It looks to me the game still uses the "Public" profile. But in my case it was something in the <GameDir>\Data\Generated folder. After deleting that and verifying files everything worked again for me.

Well, I deleted all the extra profiles, so I've just got the basic Debug 1 thing, and I'm verifying the game cache a second time, hoping that will clear things up.

Yup, I got the message, but launched the gmae and everything seems to be running well.

The game ran fine for me a few times, but finally crashed in one of my attempts to do multiplayer. I tried all the advice, deleted the indicated files multiple times and verified the cache 3 times. Still getting the 'mismatched data' warning.

Finally decided to just uninstall the game and wait for full release. Not sure if a full reinstall will fix it, but as this is said to be the final big patch before full release, I don't have much hope that it will get resolved before then.

Just uninstalling and reinstalling will never fix anything. Problem is not ever in game data files. It is in mod/setting/savegame/profile files which are never ”uninstalled”. Those need to be deleted manually.

That's what I did. I went back and deleted all the other profile folders I had. Only one I didn't touch was the Debug 1, because that profile seems to have already been in the game from day one; so I was nervous about messing with it.

I even deleted the Public profile, which kept getting remade when I verified the cache and relaunched the game.

And as I said, I've never used mods for this, so the mod folder was empty. And yes, I even deleted the folder just to make doubly sure.

Not for me, but the launcher is definetly a bad choice.
(Seems similar to the 2K games getting the launcher and effing up stuff, for me the launcher update extended the time it is required to actually be able to play the game. The time between lauching the game and actually playing that extended noticeably. All thanks to the new launcher.)

Have the same issue i cant launch the game anymore, i did have mods installed previously but there was a small patch and the game didnt seem to work anymore after that. i did a clean install and tryed to remove all the mods before still not working. :(

Only thing you need to keep is save game. Back up that and delete all folders so that nothing is left. (except your save that you backupped somewhere). If you have old installation Larian bg3 folders can be in two to three locations.

same for me , never had any mods, did the whole verify check and delete nada. the game, while I can get on has gone wacko. the camera moves at a crawl and goes all over the place, chars keep getting skipped, going to spots on their own. all the move, casting, attack mechanics seem a bit screwed up. This is definitely something from the last update( Hotfix 32) as this is when it all started and has continually got worse.

I tracked down the files my launcher says are mismatched, deleted them, and repaired the install. The newly downloaded copies still show as mismatched.
