How the hell did they still not fix moving platforms?

[Gunsaremagic]

one of your characters will always fall off the platfroms near the giant forge it will always happen least once and in shaars temple as well imagine some dude is playing on playing perma death mode and dying to this haha

[Lisan al Gaib]

Happens to me all the time in Shar temple. Someone in my party dies on the elevator lift despite always being safely on the platform.

[emreyigit1967]

I've never had this happen.

I'm playing on a PC. Is this perhaps an, ahem, platform issue?

Lmfao. Nice pun.

It's happened to me multiple times on separate runs, both the small elevator and the larger circular elevator in the Shar Temple will kill your character despite them being on the platform. Reload and it works fine but it did happen in one of my honor mode runs and I had to use Withers to revive the entire party.

It is just lag. Not an actual game issue.

I only had an issue of getting all 4 to actually stand on the dang platforms. No matter how carefully I'd nudge them all to fit, they stand so far apart one of them always runs back off. I end up splitting the team in half and going down in teams. I've never had anyone fall off and die, though.

Yep. That is why it suffices if one just wait on the elevator before triggering them.

Or why the issue does not occur if you make a savegame before triggering the elevator, as the time it takes to do so allows the desynchronisation to catch up.

Lags of motion.
or
Laws of motion.

Either way,
Elevator platforms without railings = not good. Take the 'slingvator' one at a time.

And then there is me, which has never had it happen. Not sure why some of you have.

If you are having issues getting all four to stand on a elevator, just ungroup the ones which are not and then move them.

[Chaosolous]

This can't always happen since it's never happened to me.

[causality]

Back in BG2 and 2e there was a 'permanent' death mechanic. If you fell in lava you were pretty much dead and could not be revived. Any attack over a certain threshold once you reached 0 also gibbed your character so a character could not be revived. Anything that destroyed the body like disintegrate prevented revival too.

Users with good PCs do not get such issues lightly.
They would have to reduce their RAM for the game significantly.
