[BUG] Saves gone / game reset after patch #2 today

[-=Dial Nine Eleven=-]

When I loaded the game after patching, my game seemed to have been reset. It loaded like it was my first play through including accepting the terms agreement and calibrating my video.

Once I got through that all again, all my saved games are now gone as well. I have verified game file integrity. I have never used mods.

Anyone else have this or a similar issue after today's patch?

Hey there. Experienced the same issue just now. Updated and when I started the game, not a single save file was there, I looked online to see for more cases but did not find anyone with the same problem.

The workaround I have found is that the game created "Debug_Client_Profile_1" and will search for saves there instead of the "Public" folder.

So navigate to C:\Users\[YOURUSERNAME]\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\PlayerProfiles and copy save files from "Public" to "Debug_Client_Profile_1" Should do the trick until they fix this I guess.

Note: They may remove that folder with the next update, so backup saves often if you go with this solution.


Cheers!

Interestingly, after doing this, I now have two travelers chests in my camp with a whole new set of the bonus gear like the shape shifting mask and the bag of clothes. One chest has everything I had stored in it and the second one has what would start in it if it were a totally new game.

Haha. Haven't been in camp, but i had to check after your comment, and it's same for me. Double of everything. And also the game setting restarted as well. From nudity check to EULA and brightness scroll.

Same. Guess we see what happens next when/if they make a fix.
