Having issues with your new Patch 8? Heres some possible solutions

[Deaf Sushi]

Heya heres a quick checklist of things to do if your having issues with the patch, parts of it didn't get added to your game, or your mod manager is frozen and you aren't able to interact with your mod manager in any way (to disable active & out of date mods, to see what mods are enabled, see mod info, but mostly the first as you will likely have issues having out of date and unremoveable mods on the new patch)

Likely solveable issues by these steps:
> Missing Subclasses, Spells, or other additions from Patch 8
> Have Mods active that are out of date & unable to be disabled
> Mod Launcher Dysfunctional: Cant disable mods, Mod Names not aligned with UI, "New Game" says you have mods active, mod thumbnails & info not appearing or remaining blank, Unable to interact with your installed mods in any way
>> More basic tasks on bottom just out of effort to be thorough so hopefully if someone isn't aware of a specific how its there for them( Verifying Game Files, Beta/Patch Version changing, Backing Up Saves)

** I just suggest going top to bottom as i have the least intrusive fix first to the most tedious


~~~Option 1: Reattempt a quick refresh
Change Game Language in both Steam & in Larian Launcher
1.In Steam Launcher
-> Right Click BG3
->Properties
->General
->Language(change to whatever & revert back)
2. Larian Launcher
->Settings->Language-> (New Language, IE:SPANISH)->Save Changes
->Settings->Language-> (Your Native Language, IE:ENGLISH)->Save Changes

~~~Option 2: Get Mods Disabled
1.Revert to patch 7 in Betas (Instructions below if you dont know)
2.Load Up BG3
3.Mod Manager
4. Disable all "Installed Mods"
4.Re-Update to Patch v.8
5.See if mods are still active
6. See if your prior missing Patch 8 additions are still missing
6.2 If so next step

~~~Option 3: Uninstall / Delete Mods (will have to resubscribe / reinstall)
1. Soft Mod Removal
-> Follow this path on (likely) your C:drive or whatever SSD/ Hard drive you have steam on
> "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods"
> Delete Baldurs Gate's "Mods" Folder
> See if this corrected your prior issue

2. Full Mod Uninstall
1.Uninstall game
2.Delete Appdata Larian bgr folder
3.Delete Steam bg3 folder
4.Unsubscribe from all mods from
https://mod.io/g/baldursgate3
5.Reinstall Game







Other Smaller Steps in case you dont know-

.1 Verify Game File Integrity // Make a backup of your Save
->Right Click BG3
->Properties
->Installed Files
Verify Integrity of Game Files
or
Backup Game Files

.2 Save Game Location
"C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\PlayerProfiles\Public\Savegames"
>> Make a Backup copy of your save if so desired

3 Change Patch Version
->Steam Library
>Right Click BG3
>Properties
->Betas
->Release_Patch_7_hf3 (for the prior patch 7)
or
"None" (for current Patch 8)


I figure if anyones looking we can throw extra solutions in here as they come up

^ I can't emphasize how useful this was to fix my issue, thank you Deaf Sushi.

To elaborate, my mods were not allowing the new sub-classes to show as options in Character Creation (CC). Step 1 was all I needed, resetting the languages for a "refresh." However, I also performed option 2 for a clan slate. I then went through and re-added my mods, being careful to remove any and all CC affecting mods that weren't "updated" since the release (April 15). I don't know which of the following mods was the issue, but it's working now with my ~90 other mods:

option 1 and soft mod removal worked for me

I had a issue with improve inventory

[Crypto2.0]

awesome mate, thanks for the quick workaround

[Sparrow_Hawk]

This fixed it for me as well.

Had no patches in the installed section on patch 7. However moving back to patch 8 and no further issues

[Sparrow_Hawk]

Spoke too soon!

It now loads, but crashes to desktop a short time after.

Back to the drawing board!

Failed to create dir:
\\?\c:\users\steamusers\AppData\Local\LarianStudios\Baldur's Gate 3\ModCrashSanityCheck Path not found.

Literally just bought the game and installed, no mods. First thing that pops up after hitting launch.

god thank you.

Is this a thread for people using the in game mod manager? I use vortex and am having the same issue of no new subclasses or cantrips or anything like that. If I have to use the in game mod manager so be it but was just wondering.

[kerwinray]

Doing the Full Mod Uninstall method above was the only thing that worked for me.

Alright, I found a fix that worked for me :

1 ) Take your save files ( C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3/PlayerProfiles/Public/Savegames ) and set them aside ( on your desktop or whatever );
2 ) Disable steam cloud saves (for BG3) through steam properties;
3 ) Delete the PlayerProfiles from the pre-mentionned BG3 folder;
4 ) Launch the game with your mods as usual.

Once you boot up the game again, it should create a new clean profile, make sure your mods are activated in the in-game mod manager and check if the subclasses work by starting a new game.
Once that's done, you can then take your save folder back into the PlayerProfiles and it should work back as usual. At least it did for me.

Hope that helps.

Oooh man Im going to try this when I get home. Ty Sushi!!. For reference, I can not interact with any mods (in-game manager) what so ever. Also, yest I noticed being unable to view, change, any wizard spells above level4?? After pressing "K" to view choosen spells by level, it only shows spells level 1 -4 (I can't scroll down in the menu far enough to even see, let alone "choose" level 5/6 spells for Gale?) I am using Mytra's spells, which I think is the culprit

Hi! I had an issue of being unable to update mods and click the checkbox next to them to turn them on and off. I eventually figured out that uninstalling the Mod Manager Minor Fixes Mod solved the issue for me after restarting the game. If you're account is linked to Mod.io, make sure to Unsubscribe it on the website as it might try and redownload it again. Hopefully this helps anyone!

If you are using "improved UI assets" since it is not maintained for patch 8 it can cause a lot of problems. Try deleting if you are having UI issues.
