Error 304, 116

[jocorder88]

I receive error code 304, 116 whenever I load the game after entering the Lower City in Baldurs Gate. I can load any save from before I enter but once entered all saves forward of that come with those error codes. While loading it gets to 60% then goes back to 40% before sending me to the main menu and those error codes show up. No way to progress the story forward. Anyone have a fix for this issue?

[benadryl]

same issue at exact same area, no fix atm. best you can do is submit a support ticket and send them the corrupted save file. until then, we're just sitting ducks

[小森]

Focus on section 3, after you applied 1+2 and try again

after the patch of 8.8.2023

today 9.8.2023 i booted up my computer and i think there was a patch and then went to playing some and none of the 4.1.1.3630146 save games worked.

i rerolled back to 4.1.1.3614901, played to the spot i was and saved. reloaded the new savegame and it worked fine as new version number 4.1.1.3630146

Stuff i did :
1) i patched the game
2) emptied my cache that is in the FAQ fix from larian
3) renamed my Baldurs gate 3 to baldurs gate 3 backup , folder has a lot of configs and save games in it. C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Larian Studios
4) started the game again and quitted the game when i got to main menu
5) copy pasted my savegamefolder from backup location (playerprofiles/public/) to the new baldurs gate 3 folder the game made from new launch of the game.
6) restarted my game, loaded my 4.1.1.3614901 game and played up to the point i had problems with my earlier saves, saved my game, loaded my game, and now it works.

ONLY THING I DIDNT DO, i did not use the summon spell from cleric (weapon/hammer). Tho i did use the summon spell from wizard familiar raven.

Summons might be bugged but i have no clue if they are broken or not in ACT 2.

yeah its definitely summoning thats bugged. i play a druid that summons 11 creatures and even summoning 1 and then saving, bugs the save file.
tried at two different locations within the city but did not try different summons

edit: had more time to experiment today and its either:
1) i can only summon max 3 creatures: an elemental, a dryad, and a wood woad (dryad's) summon
OR
2) its only specific creatures that bug the save file. the rest of my summons are the 6 ghould from danse macabre, minor elemental, and Us (the intellect devourer)

if i only summon those 3, seems my save does not get bugged out
also just summoning 3 ghouls instead of the full 6 also still bugs the save

IMPORTANT EDIT: this may not work for everyone nor any condition but:
1) dont use summons at all. i have a feeling the bug is related to the number of allies on screen at the time of saving
2) in the city, if you need to save try doing it after fast travelling to rivington
3) you can see which save files are bugged - normal ones are about 30,000kb or more in file size (for me at least) and bugged ones are under 20,000. [C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\PlayerProfiles\Public\Savegames\Story]

just a stopgap measure BUT the rivington save trick actually un-fked my bugged save file!

It's happening for me now for any save during and after I completed the Foundry. I'm going to reload and try to run through it again on easy mode without any summons, and see if that fixes it.

Edit: it appears that it did. The summons get stuck in the Foundry after the event takes you outside, and that breaks the game.

[Wolenard]

Well, I faced the same bug but I fixed it by entering the Lower City alone, left all members in the camp.

Upd: if I add anybody to the party and save, the save corrupts.

[ChalkStorm]

It happened to me again at the very late game when I reloaded, after I summoned some ghouls. The game is completely broken. This is a joke.

[WizardSlayer84]

man all my saves are bad got like 60 hours and don't want to restart

[Neblunoa]

same here after 80 hours my save files has been corrupted

[ChalkStorm]

I managed to beat the game and avoid the issue happening again by never using any summons again for the rest of my campaign. Any save made while I had summons active was corrupted, but the rest were fine. This happened twice in two separate places.

[MoroccanWarriorDna]

happened for me when i left a spiritual weapon in the prison

[Neblunoa]

In my case the game has been corrupted after teleporting to the sewers. I can play in previous files but every time I step into the sewers the game gets corrupted and i can't load. However, I necessarily have to go this place to be able to advance the plot. So I guess I'll stay without seeing the end of the game.

[Charo Military Transsexual]

same issue same area
I used lots of druid summons too

It is easy to test.
