Wyrm's Crossing Broken

[mrmcdonaldnm]

This area is completely broken. You can enter, with great difficulty, but you cannot continue on from this point. I have tried every possible entry (currently known) and I am unable to interact with the environment (doors, containers, etc) nor can I move on from there.

Amendment: By "difficult" I mean that all NPCs and followers freeze and that you have to wait for them to load/catch up. I attempted to go through the final checkpoint, fly down to the prison, and get arrested and fight my way (solo) in order to bypass this glitch. Nothing works! My current play through is stuck here. No matter how I move though Wyrm's Crossing, there is not an option to move to the lower city...

Do you mean the drawbridge is up?

It is easy to enter Wyrm's crossing. Just invis yourself and walk past the checkpoint.

Or, there is a easy platforming path to get past the checkpoint.

However, going from there to Wyrm's Rock and then to Baldur's Gate requires a quest item (AFAIK). You can either get a pass from the little elephant detective or from Artur. Not sure if there is any other way.

Negative. Bridge is open and the way is clear. The game stops at this point. I have beaten BG3 several times, but on this play through, after the most recent update, my followers simply stop and I am unable to continue. I cannot open doors, npcs moonwalk in place, and the gateway to the lower city simply doesn't compute...

No, I've gotten past that. This is literally a game issue. That game freezes to the point where I cannot continue... But thank you for your response!

I know, right :D I was pretty intimidated first too, but it's fairly simple and easy. And it worked for me.

I am having the same issue.

I tried avoiding the bridge all together and tried entering from the prison but it becomes un-playable as soon as I exit the Prison.

Tried this and it works for me. The delays are still there but at least I am not stuck without moving forward in the game.

I'm having this same issue. It is super frustrating. The drawbridge goes down but doesn't appear down on the map. The other party members stop moving and my Tav can't interact with anything on the other side.

The exact same thing is happening to me 😭 this is so so disappointing, I really hope larian is able to fix it soon

I just entered Baldur’s Gate today. All I did was have Astarion (who is separated from the party) misty step WAAAAYYYYY past the guards at the south exit, and get to the checkpoint. Then, the rest of the party uses the checkpoint. Then when we get to the drawbridge, my character passes a charisma check about the duke being in trouble, so they let me in/they lower the drawbridge. 👍

Your post has nothing to do with threadstarter's issues, though.
They referred to something else which is obsolete by now.

Yeah Act 3 performance is downright shameful for how much people simped that game ...

Switching to Vulkan, lowering graphics and disabling "dynamic crowds" made it "playable" for me.

I dont think this is broken. its a result of decisions made. for me, first play through, i crossed this bridge before i picked a fight with the steel watch guards. 2nd play through, i picked a fight with them, now the bridge is up. now it feels like there's a hit out on me, and therefore i have to sneak in. use feather fall to jump down at the drawn bridge, make your way over to the east side where you'll find the way into the wyrm's rock prison. it just is what it is...
