Baldur’s Gate 3 had recently been released on the Xbox, but ever since the release, it is reportedly been bugged when it comes to save files. The officials have reported that the issue has been fixed, but the player reports say otherwise.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Xbox save file bug
The Baldur’s Gate 3 save bug on Xbox has been a significant issue, with players reporting the deletion of save files, resulting in the loss of hundreds of hours of progress.
The problem has been acknowledged by Xbox, and a fix has been implemented in the latest Xbox update, which addresses the issue of save games being deleted when unplugging the console.
However, some players are still experiencing the issue, and it seems that the problem is related to the Xbox firmware, which has not been updated past a certain version.
The game has been awarded the best game of the year, and it is receiving glowing reviews on every other platform. But due to the issue, the Xbox release has been getting a very cold reception.
How to fix the issue?
The official fix not being enough for the issue to be fixed, the community had taken the responsibility on their own shoulders to fix the issue.
According to a workaround shared by a player on Reddit, the main source of the issue is the cross-save feature.
That is why the player suggests turning off the cross-save feature while the game is loading in. It is recommended to turn on the feature after the game has been loaded.
This is a community-sourced solution, so the results may not be as intended. We highly recommend raising the issue with the official support teams of Larian and Xbox to raise awareness of the issue.
