It Happened To Me: I Messed Up My Baldur's Gate 3 Cross Saves

The Xbox release of Baldur’s Gate 3 has been 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:notoriously buggy, to the point where I was putting off playing on console at all in order to avoidꩲ losing my save files. I gave in though, starting a new campaign with my partner for the new year, and I haven’t had issues with those save files so far – though I have a feeling that just by saying this, I may have cursed myself. God, I hope not. I was excited to get bacಞk t✃o my first playthrough, which I’d left in Act 2 and have yet to finish, but it looks like I’ve screwed myself.

This is how the sad tale unfolded. In October, I wrote about how I’d let Jaheira die and was convinced there was no wa🍨y to save her – about 20 people wrote in to tell me I could actually save her and I should, so I committed to doing that. That, however, meant losing about two hours of progression through the Moonrise Towers, which I was fine with. I could just🃏 load up an old save.

Here’s the thing: cross save only synced the five most recent save files to my Xbox. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:And I’m a save scummer, so I could choose any file from within, uh, 20 minutes o🔯f gameplay. I couldn’t access the save I needed to. It’s fine, I thought. I’ll just go back to the point I want to start from, create a new save file, and load it from there. That should solve the problem! So the next morning, I booted up my PC, went into the game, created a new save file called “SAVE JAHEIRA THIS TIME”, and waited for the save files to sync. Once I was sure they had, I went into the Xbox version of the game and checked the games I could load. No dice: it was the same five save files.

Of course, I tried turning cross save on and off a few times, as a quick Google instructed me to do. It didn’t work. Maybe it intentionally syncs the most recent five saves, I thought, and so I went back onto my PC, deleted two hours of save files up to the point I’d created ဣthe new save file from and checked again.

Yes, I’m aware I probably shouldn’t have tꦫrashed save files I could have returned to. Like I said, I screwed myself.

Surprise, surprise, it didn’t work. At this point, I was flailing for a solution, so I thought: okay, maybe if I delete the save files on my Xbox, it’ll force 𓄧sync the new files over. Why I thought this is unclear, because that is not what happened, and there was no indication that this was an intelligent, valid solution. I just deleted all those files for nothing. Nothing synced, and now I can’t play that campaign on Xbox at all.

I could go back and just play on my PC, sure, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:but I don’t want to. I want to play in bed, because I’m lazy, but now that campaign is lost to me. I&💖rsquo;m not sure if the lack of syncing is part of the bugs plaguing the Xbox port of the game or if I have somehow permanently mucked up my save files, and I&rsqu𒊎o;ll never be able to play this campaign on my Xbox. I am a fool, and this is my punishment.
