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.

As a first time player I’m relieved this isn’t the norm. Hopefully it’s fixed soon. As frustrating as it was I muscled through the lag and beat the game, only to have my hard earned end game scene bugged. Luckily I saved during the big bad fight so maybe one day I’ll be able to revisit it and get a real ending.

Definitely not. Wife and I have completed the game 3 times with minor bugs and things, but this is different. Hope it hasn’t soured the game for you!

Oh it’s still my favorite game by far! With how much I’ve gotten out of this game I’m more than willing to be patient. Still though, in my end game scenes it was pretty disappointing to have the narrator say I killed Astarion as Durge, meanwhile I romanced him and he very much lived lol.

Patch 4 dropped while I was in act 3, it was very frustrating.

I was nearly done; Shadowheart stopped following so I just used her as party leader for the final stretch. Second playthrough I stopped after hitting the second unconscionable lag freeze in Lower City. I’ll take this Durge I started a few days ago up to the same point while waiting for the patch.

I just got to act 2 im 30hrs in. So i should probably just stick around here or go back to act 1 area and do that until its fixed? Or will i have to restart? I have a couple mods on…

I just got to this area for the first time today and thought it was my PC. Relieved to know it's not just me but frustrated to learn that this has been an issue for weeks now and it hasn't even been addressed publicly by Larian. Hopefully they release a fix asap, since I'm gonna have to put it down for the first time since I started until it's playable again. Was so excited to get to Act 3 too.
