Patch 3 - Breaking Guardian Statues Under Emerald Grove breaks save

[Chro-NO]

Just a psa, if you break (or in my case have broken in the past) the guardian statues under the emerald grove (hidden passage) your game will have really bad lag between actions initiating (similar to the older act 3 action lag bug).

I'm like 20+ hours of game play after breaking them and after steam downloaded patch 3 my game is basically unplayable.

Looking at the files to see if I can just mod out the broken chunks to see if that fixes it, but no luck tracking down where they are referenced so far.

How did you find this out? I went to the hidden passage in my current play-through but I didn't go in as I had no easy way to destroy the statues so I left and I have no lag.

Not related to topic, but you know you can deactivate those statuses. Destroying them is just another option.

How? and can you deactivate them from either side, as in it doesn't matter which side you enter the cave? I destroyed them with EB in my first encounter and I don't have a warlock this time.

Saw a few people on a larian forum discussing action lag issues in patch 3, someone else seemed to notice it started right as they destroyed one of the statues. so I tested it out and i
started a new game and had no lag, rushed to statues and broke them, immediately experienced action lag. Definitely seems like that's the culprit, only common thing among the people having the issue as people having it are running both modded and unmodded.

Yeah doing this is the best option right now, didn't want to risk any damage at the time so just had Wyll eldritch blast them from a distance to break them. Hopefully I can find their reference and just mod them out, as going back to a save prior would basically mean restarting my play through at this point.

I've got this issue too. I have reported it as a bug. I wish there was a way to delete them as a reference.

Push the blue glowing buttons. Traps disarmed. Not sure how you're entering, but for now maybe best to use the entrance by Sazza.

I only noticed after leaving a few hours later. Save game is bugged to hell so far, I'll have to wait for a new hotfix or a mod that can clean up the interior

Thanks to No_Earth779 on reddit for this fix:

1. Download https://github.com/Norbyte/bg3se/releases/download/updater-v3/BG3SE-Updater-with-Console-v3.zip and put DWrite.dll and ScriptExtenderSettings.json in your game directory "bin" folder, the console will start automatically as a separate window when you launch the game.

Load into a saved game

type anything(random letters or numbers for example) in the console and press enter, it should say "entering server Lua console."

Afterwards, copy paste in these commands:

TeleportToPosition("DEC_Druids_Statue_Wolf_A_Big_A_Destruct_471a3593-c5f2-4330-a245-babd7e292414",0,0,0,"",0,0,0,0,0) TeleportToPosition("DEC_Druids_Statue_Bear_A_Big_A_Destruct_eed71bbc-faf9-491a-859a-e68a5e74ed74",0,0,0,"",0,0,0,0,0)


Hit Enter in console

Worked for me, most of the lag is gone. Any chance this could break saves with a future update?

I doubt it, the command just moves the rubble off into the void area of the map making them unable to take actions, which is whats causing the lag, though obviously I can't guarantee anything.

This worked for me too, but I destroyed 3 statues, I believe a raven was the third? do you have the command for that as well by any chance?

EDIT:

For the other statue:

TeleportToPosition("S_DEN_TunnelTurret_001_02e3eda0-a507-4923-8f4f-91c8c4f9b0b0",0,0,0,"",0,0,0,0,0)

EDIT2: this has fixed my game!

@Chro-NO is an absolute legend

Are you using the party limit begone mod? If so, group together your party into two group, first one being your Tav and three characters, the other being everyone else. Afterwards send the "everyone else" party to the camp, and finally ride the boat with your tav party. You'll have to do the boat fight with only four (if you go hostile) but once you get to the grymforge you can just tp everyone to you.
