Ever since 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3 launched on Xbox, players have 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:reported issues with their save files. In extreme cases, they said they were losing hours of gameplay, putting many off playing at all until it's confirmed that the issue is fixed. Now, as we enter the new year, neither Larian nor Xbox can say that the problem is gone for good.

Now, Larian has shed some more light on the situation, saying that it's all caused by an issue with Xbox firmware. Since the problem is unlikely to be fixed anytime soon, with workers off for the holidays, Larian suggests an unconventional fix that might keep your save files safe, backing them up in case they're corrupted on the Xbox itself.

"We’re aware that there is a save issue on Xbox that continues to linger throughout th🌠e holidays," says Larian, further explaining the ongoing bug. "It occurs when exiting the game after saving. The game thinks the save was successful but due to a firmware is🅷sue, the save file is not fully committed to disk yet."

Larian makes it clear that Microsoft is aware of the issue, suggesting that the ball is in the gaming giant's court to deal with this now. However, the developer adds that it might take "a while" for the bug to be addressed. In the meantime, it recommends the following steps be taken to keep save files safe.

  1. Create a Larian account at //larian.com/account.
  2. Go to the options menu from the main menu. Under gameplay, activate cross-saves, linking your Larian and Xbox accounts.
  3. From now on, your last 5 saves will automatically be uploaded to the larian servers. It is important that you do not exit the game before the upload is finished. The upload is finished when the message “Syncing cloud save” is no longer visible.
  4. If the firmware bug occurs, you will need to re-activate the cross-save functionality in the options screen. This will give you access to the save games that were successfully uploaded.

This won't stop the firmware bug from occurring, but it should back up your saves if it happens, potentially saving you hours of progress.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox has shared its own fixes, which might still be worth a shot. According to Xbox, making sure your console always has power, even when switched off, can stop the save corruption from happening in the first place. It was also recommended that you don't keep Baldur's Gate 3 in quick resume, but given that the issue is related to the game being closed before save files are stored correctly, it's not clear if that advice would still be of any use.
