Baldur's Gate 3 issues: Tieflings horn color bug, weird audio mixing or no sound, Nautiloid shortened & more

As is the case with every newly released video game, Baldur’s Gate 3 is also experiencing several issues, among them the Tieflings horn color bug, sound problems, Nautiloid shortened cutscene, and more.

Additionally, players have reported issues while loading into the game on Steam Deck or crashing at launch.

Early adopters of Baldur’s Gate 3 are reporting multiple issues with the game and here are some user reports:

Is anyone else having issues with no sound? The game starts fine, I hear the sound for the Larian logo and that’s it. No sound on the menu or the first cutscene. I tried verifying my files on Steam, deleting all early access saves, and then verifying again but no luck. (Source)

I colored my horns black but for some reason they are white/grey? Also tiefling nails seem to have a graphical error on them? (Source)

Some players have reported (1, 2, 3, 4) that their Tiefling characters randomly display white horns or colors that don’t match their chosen horn color during character creation.

For other players, Baldur’s Gate 3 has been strangely silent, with no sound at all. But fear not, there is a workaround available.

Same here, verifying now but driver didnt change anything. Edit: restart+drivers+verify did seem to fix it (Source)

If this doesn’t help, then here’s another solution you can try.

Moreover, a section of Baldur’s Gate 3 players have encountered audio mixing problems, where character voices or dialogues sound distorted or unclear (1, 2, 3).

As if the aforementioned issues aren’t enough, some have reported (1, 2, 3) that the Nautiloid cutscenes have been shortened or some sections have been removed. Also, the game is crashing after the cut scene.

Luckily, there’s a potential workaround for the game crashing during Nautiloid ship cutscenes. You can check it out below.

Crashing after/during Nautiloid ship cutscenes? Make sure you’re using DirectX and not Vulkan, it might fix the issue. (Source)

Furthermore, Baldur’s Gate 3 has some limitations in character creation and face customization. Some players are demanding (1, 2, 3) for more diverse options in these aspects.
