Frustrating Bug??

[lexometer77]

I'm working my way through the Gauntlet of Shar at the moment and three of my characters will not stay on the platform elevators. I just had the three of them fall off of the Dark Orb elevator and not die to fall damage. I waited for them to fail the death saves and they succeeded :( The two who lived are now stuck inside walls a the bottom of a chasm and I have no way to get them up or fully kill them without killing my only surviving character.

Has anyone experienced this yet? Is there a way to resolve this?

I didn't run into this issue, but as a workaround I would try to use your remaining character to unlock the waypoint at the entrance to the Shadowfell (after the elevators) and try to teleport your characters there.

I would be much more interested in the 'why' of this happening. I have used that elevator a number of times and have never seen any such behavior. Not saying it did not happen. But it is so far outside the normal experience of players that it is of interest.

It is certainly a strange event that takes place in the game. But a problem with the BG3 game code? I suspect not.

It is a hardware issue where the CPU cannot keep up with the player's actions to keep the two layers of the game synchronised. It kinda looks like lag.

Nah. I run BG3 on an i5-2500 in an 11 year old system. So I don't buy the whole 'CPU is the issue' line anymore. Something else is going on with the described problem.

I did have this happen to me once. Was in a MP session. Just chalked it up to lag. As I on single player (or we in a couple other MP sessions) have not had it happen again on other runs through the Gauntlet.

Just had this happen with 2 different elevators in shar's gauntlet. Fell to my death because of the elevator...

I would say it could be an old pc problem if this wasn’t the second time i had it happen on xbox
