Crashing even without mods

[Snarkymage]

As the title says, I've been crashing both with and without mods. I can't even start a fresh new save because I crash after the imps in the nautiloid. I crash on what few saves that do work when going to camp. Is anyone else having this problem?

Where did you install these mods? Did you place any of their files into your actual game folder?

I used the BG3 mod manager

[lawjax]

Under users: AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods - this is empty for you then?
If so, did you use the script extender and place the DWrite.dll file into Steam\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\bin (the pathing where your game is installed)?

e: if you are confident that the mods are gone, you can try verifying integrity of the game files.

"...both with and without mods..."

That means you have had Mods ever since you installed them. You cannot just 'disable' or 'uninstall' them. The code remains and in some cases actually interferes with the original code and files.

You will need to clean the current BG3 installation off your system and start again. That includes deleting the entire Larian Studios folder in the AppData\Local directory Law mentioned above.

Once you install mods, that's it. You really cannot go back to the original state of the game without a full clean off and install.

Good Luck

P.S. Don't use Mods until Larian has an official Mods policy in place.

Oof, well, thank you. I'll do a fresh install and see if that works out.

Don't forget to delete that Larian Studios folder in AppData\Local. That is very important to do.

Also turn off Cloud Save so it does not populate the game with corrupt saves.

I did all that and I'm still crashing in that specific part of the nautiloid, making the game unplayable

I seem to have fixed it! I scoured the mods more thoroughly and it is now working!

were there any specific mods that you removed that caused it for you or helped? im having the same issue suddenly, i even started a whole new save and im crashing right after the imps. i would like to try and cut down on and get rid of some problem mods before doing a clean install if i can lol.

Do you have the slim male body mod? That ended up being it for me.
