Baldur’s Gate III Xbox Save Issue: Updates and Solutions

At the end of last year, we informed you several times about the problems that affected the Xbox version of Baldur’s Gate III. There have been cases in which the saved position was deleted, or incorrectly saving the game when players put the entire console to sleep or shut down, but even over the holidays this issue was not resolved. Although the developers from the Larian studio apologized to the players, explained that they will not fix the problem themselves and a team of people from Microsoft also got to work, the trouble with saved positions persists and Larian commented on the situation on social networks before the end of last year. It is still evident from the post that the fault is rather on Microsoft’s side, but the authors of Baldur’s Gate III are trying to come up with at least a partial solution and apologize again for the problems.

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…

“We are aware that the issue with saved positions on Xbox remains. This happens when you close the game after saving. Due to an error in the firmware, the game thinks that the save was done correctly, but at that moment the saved position is not completely written to the disk,” the developers explain what the problem is. They also add that Microsoft did not give up on solving the error, but because Christmas and New Year’s celebrations jumped into everything, fewer people went to work and they simply did not have the capacity to deal with the problem more intensively. Until the bug is resolved or a new firmware is released, Larian therefore offers its own solution, which could make the situation much more pleasant for players.

Everything consists of connecting the game with the account on the Larian website and turning on the cross-save function. Thanks to this, the last five saved positions will be automatically uploaded to the cloud storage, and the only thing players have to watch for is the disappearance of the message about synchronization. Then, in the event of a problem, all you have to do is reactivate the cross-save function, which will get you to the five saved positions, thanks to which you can continue playing without having to go back even several hours. “We will simplify the whole process in the coming days by increasing the number of saved positions,” the developers add.

At the end of the message, they apologize to the players and accept the frustration that this issue has caused on the part of the players. “We are doing everything possible to solve this unique problem as quickly as possible,” Larian representatives conclude and promise to inform about any further news related to the incident.
