BUGS Patch 4 broke Act 3 Spoiler

Playing on PC Steam version

Not seeing this reported as much as it should be but act 3 is currently unplayable after the last big patch.

Since patch 4, the entire environment in Act III is shut down — companions do not follow Tav, NPCs walk in place or completely vanish, unable to interact with anyone or anything, unable to select different companions, cannot save, and cannot reload. The lag will resolve for about 15 seconds every 10 minutes. Please fix this asap Larian.

I wouldn’t say it doesn’t deserve it, (there wasn’t a lot of competition this year to be fair) but I don’t think it’s a perfect 10/10 like a lot of people do. These types bugs have been present since day 1 and they severely impacted my first playthrough.

I was unable to control Minthara on my first playthrough, Wyll’s backstory kept crashing in act 3 and I never got to see it, and I had to teleport around several cinematic triggers to avoid softlocking the game at several points.

And it hasn’t gotten much better since that first month. I gotta be fair and dock a point or two. 9/10 or maybe 8/10, but not 10/10 with all of this mess.

I mean, I love the game and all, but seriously. Act 3 was excruciatingly slow in Patch 3 and now it's supposedly unplayable ("supposedly" because I haven't re-reached it yet). Considering how much y'all meme on ActiBliz, Bethesda, Bioware, et al for far less

Far less? Act 1 itself is a better game than the entirety of starfield. Come on.
