Larian Studios has developed a workaround for Baldur’s Gate 3 Xbox save problems but a permanent fix has yet to be found for the problem.
However, players of the Xbox port of the game, which released in early December last year, haven’t enjoyed the same seamless game play experience as players on other platforms have.
Troubles with the cloud save functionality on Xbox, caused by a firmware bug, have frustrated players, so Larian have stepped up to try and find solutions.
We’re aware that there is a save issue on Xbox that continues to linger throughout the holidays. It occurs when exiting the game after saving. The game thinks the save was successful but due to a firmware issue, the save file is not fully committed to disk yet.Microsoft is…
They recently posted a workaround to Twitter, outlining a way for players to use Larian’s own cross-save system to circumvent the problem until a permanent fix can be found.
While this isn’t a genuine fix, Larian have promised to make their cross-save “process more fluid and extend the number of save games that get uploaded in the coming days.”
Baldur’s Gate 3 is the latest in a string of games on the Xbox hit by this cloud save issue, andthey’ve applied fixes for various titles affected by the bug previously.
While Larian have said Microsoft are aware of the issue and working on the solution, they also warned the holiday season meant teams were working at “lower capacity” so players may have to wait “a while before a proper fix becomes available.”
