BG3 performance issues

[toenader]

I finally purchased Baldur's Gate 3 on Saturday and the game ran perfectly fine all day Saturday and Sunday. Today when trying to access the game, the frame rate got dramatically worse and the game became laggy beyond belief. I have tried all troubleshooting I could find on the internet including trying to update my graphics drive (There was no update available). Has anyone had this issue today? I am hoping this issue is happening due to my internet or maybe the servers being overwhelmed because I can't figure out how it could run so smoothly for two days and then crap out on day three.

I am not very computer savvy but my graphics info is as follows:
AMD Radeon RX 6700S (8GB).

With my particular laptop I am unable to change graphics cards as it's soldered into the motherboard so that is not an option at this point. I really enjoyed the game and it's a pretty expensive one to not be able to play at it's full potential.

It's the latest patch. My first playthrough was super smooth but after Patch 3, ACT 1 is a complete mess atm. I wouldn't return it, but I would wait to play it unfortunately for you. The game is worth it once they figure out how to fix what they did to it. A game this big with so many mechanics is bound to run into issues patch by patch, but I think they'll fix it soon hopefully.

So you are also having this issue? That's good news. I am happy to wait as long as I need to to play it but lowering all of the graphics on a sixty dollar game was not going to be an option for me. The graphics are too good to enjoy playing with virtual blocks.

Yeah, also having this issue, as are several/many others.

Very frustrating, does seem like certain events trigger it but once it deteriorates, it won't improve. Starting a new game/going to older saves does fix it for me, but that isn't a workable solution.

100% the latest update, I did multiple playthroughs with really no issues but everything seems to be messed up after the last update, I would also advise to just wait a bit until they fix it, the game is amazing it just needs some TLC atm lol

Not sure if you are having the action lag issue or bad fps, but you can try this:

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
Return to game and save

The lag happens immediately on entry into the game. It lags during adventuring, fights and cutscenes, I guess it could be a fps issue as well.
