Generally-speaking, fans knew what they were getting into when they jumped into Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em><\/strong>. Larian Studios made it clear that the long-awaited sequel\u2019s early access launch would be early indeed, and that it would be changing a lot in the process of being fleshed out for a full release. That hasn\u2019t stopped most players from enjoying what Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em>\u00a0has offered so far<\/a>, but unfortunately, Larian has confirmed that development has gotten to the point that upcoming updates will no longer be compatible with current save files.<\/p>\n

Worse yet, this will happen soon. In a developer update today, Larian confirmed that the third of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em>\u2019s major patches<\/a> is \u201cjust around the corner\u201d and will introduce the first changes to the game\u2019s story. As such, once players download patch 3, everything they\u2019ve done in the current version of the game will be gone.<\/p>\n

Not everyone will want to start from scratch, though, and the good news is that Larian is providing them with a way to hold onto their saves. Ahead of patch 3, the developer has introduced a secondary branch of the game that preserves the current build. Players can access this now by right-clicking the game in the Steam library, selecting \u201cProperties,\u201d then \u201cBetas,\u201d and finally \u201cpatch2.\u201d Following these steps will allow players to continue with the characters they\u2019ve been building up throughout Act 1 of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em><\/a> even after patch 3 comes out. Unfortunately, this feature isn\u2019t available on Stadia for the time being.<\/p>\n

For anyone who\u2019s uncertain about updating to patch 3 or not, Larian recommends disabling automatic updates by going into the \u201cUpdates\u201d tab in the Properties menu and selecting \u201conly update the game when I launch it\u201d in the drop-down menu. However, players who have already decided to stick with Baldur’s Gate 3<\/em><\/a> as it is right now can opt into the secondary branch now, that way their saves are already secured when patch 3 eventually releases.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

It\u2019s little hassles like these that show why Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em>\u2019s early access might not be for everyone<\/a>, since, first and foremost, Larian is focused on figuring out what works and what doesn\u2019t about its role-playing mechanics and changing things up accordingly. While this will mean more upheaval for players than in a full release, it\u2019s nice that Larian is giving them the option to hold off on jumping into future patches until they\u2019re ready to start fresh.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that having to switch branches may be annoying, but this is part of early access<\/a>,\u201d the developer wrote. \u201cAll the feedback we’ve been gathering from your adventures and posts will go right into these patches, so next time you play it\u2019ll feel like an experience you’ve helped to create.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em><\/strong> is available in early access for PC and Stadia.<\/p>\n
