Reporting bugs to Larian doesn't work anymore
Larian's "HOW TO SUBMIT A BUG REPORT" page is not working appropriately anymore. (https://larian.com/support/faqs/how-to-submit-a-bug-report_85)

The reason for this is that savegames get bigger and bigger while you play - currently >20 MB per save - and the webpage only accepts a max filesize of 20 MB.

Larian should IMMEDIATELY fix this issue!

Some thoughts about why savegames are that big:

First off, as a former coder with an own track record of >20 released games I can tell a savegame for a game like BG3, although massive in scope, does not have to be larger than aprox. 500 KB at a maximum. Every state change has to be recorded / kept track of, and though these are thousands storing them doesn't require lots of memory.

So one possibilty could be Larian records every single mouse move we players make, records, at which time we walk from A to B, which rolls have been made on attacking monster #234 etc. pp., which would indeed ammount to filesizes that are huge (well, and they are). This can be helpfull for Larian's bug analysis but a chore for a player considering the obscene ammount of time it takes to make a quicksave ingame.

Whatsoever, please react immediately on Larian's side and increase the maximum size of savegames we can send in! It would be a desaster if you guys think your game is bug-free because you don't get bug reports anymore - it is not by a mile and then ten. Last not least to not get misunderstood: This is not a complaint, just trying to point out a serious problem. I do enjoy the game.

This was literally already done. They uncapped the save file system to infinity or whatever your HDD or SSD can store.

Can you read?!?

One CAN'T UPLOAD savegames to their support anymore because their webpage limits the maximum size of a savegame to 20 MB but savegames get >20 MB after some ingame progress.

This is a killer for reporting bugs, since Larian requires an attached savegame. Visit their webpage (link above) and you will see.
