cant finish epilogue?

[Mozrath]

so i updated bg3 on my mac earlier today and have been playing the epilogue party scene, after talking to the companions and all i went over to withers to speak to him and progress and it just, doesnt work? it says ive 'started a conversation' after i click on him but nothing happens. all other companions ive spoken to havent had this problem (aside scratch, for some reason) so im just curious to see if anyone else has run into this issue. i assume its a bug but i thought id say something here in case it was an issue with my computer specifically.

Adding to the chorus. This might be semi-universal for Mac users. I wonder if it has anything to do with decisions around Karlach surviving. In any event, yes, this is a bug that needs to get fixed asap!

I played through a few different ending variants. I could talk to Karlach if she survived with tentacles, but not if she survived without (regardless of whether anyone else had tentacles). Under no circumstances could I talk to Scratch or Withers. I never saw Happy Hoarson!

I reported the bug to Larian and they asked for my save file, so I'm guessing a fix will come down eventually.

Me, too! I did the same thing to experiment and experienced this precisely.

I loaded the save on GeForce Now (PC) and noticed a few other problems in the Mac version:
- Even if Gale survived in your playthrough, if you speak to Tara after talking to Gale, she behaves as if he is dead.
- Scratch does not bring you the inert artifact to play fetch with
- Petting the owlbear is bugged (you don't see your MC in the cutscene)
- There's extra lines of dialogue with almost everyone in the PC version (even picking the same options
- As some have mentioned, Happy does not appear in cutscene

Today's hotfix has not yet fixed the issues, but Larian did get back to me to say that they're investigating it now. So crossing my fingers that it's fixed by the next hotfix!

I've experienced the same issue, in spite of trying different alternatives to circumvent it. I'm using an M1 Mac

What do you do if the epilogue doesn't show up? Please help me

AFAICT, that issue seems to be caused by mods. At least the game now allows you to disable some mods in your save. Unfortunately, there are still many you can't disable without being unable to load the save, even if the game doesn't stop you.

It looks like mods containing the "BG3 mod fixer" are blocking the epilogue. And that's a lot, BTW. At one time it was mandatory to prevent weirdness on starting a game. It doesn't seem to be any more, yet many mods have never taken it out of their PAK files.

The good news: if you're on Windows, people say script extender can fix it.
The bad news: if you're on Mac like I am and many in this thread are, it's not an option.

I've never experienced the epilogue. I've just watched it on youtube (bearing in mind I'm watching somebody else's set of outcomes).

BTW - I'm not sure it's "better" if you can get it, but can't progress it past certain points, anyway.

Unable to start conversation with withers to close epilogue and the camp surrounds are not fully rendered 2/3 times. New outfits completely blacked out in shadow as well as certain corners of the camp. 2022 MacBook M2.

I have the same problem, but Larian did not answer to my bug reports. I sent them a video to see the problem.

The fact that the Mac epilogue appears to be borked makes me less bothered I can't even get to it yet. Hopefully 2024 patches will take care of this soon.

I guess, tragically, we'll have to start incredibly fun new playthroughs while we wait...

Same here. Cannot finish the epilogue. MacBook Pro M2 Max with Sonoma.

Nope, it's not caused by mods. BTW this thread is about mac.
