Description:
Baldur's Gate 3 developers warn that players will need to delete their early 
access saves and clients to avoid "unintended conflicts" at launch.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Baldur's Gate 3 is only days away, but Larian has dispensed some important 
advice to those who played the game during early access in the runup to 
launch. 

In short, the developers have advised that anyone who played Baldur's Gate 3 
during early access take the time to uninstall both the early access client 
and to delete their saved games ( via PCGamer ). The developers also urged 
players to remove any mods that might be lingering around, too. 

In a post on Baldur's Gate 3 Twitter page , the developers said, "We 
recommend players with Early Access installed uninstall the game after 
deleting their save files. This will reduce the risk of file conflicts when 
the final game downloads, and should mean more playing, and no 
troubleshooting!" 

This news comes in conjunction with the revelation that the upcoming fantasy 
RPG will also be unavailable for pre-loading before its full release. 

In another Tweet, Larian Studios told fans that "Unfortunately, were unable 
to make Baldurs Gate 3 available for pre-load  Steam doesnt support pre-load 
for Early Access titles because switching to pre-load would break the game 
for people currently playing Early Access." We still recommend deleting your 
save files/mods and doing a fresh install of Baldurs Gate 3 in preparation 
for August 3! August 1, 2023 See more 

For those with slow internet connections, this means even more waiting before 
they can get their hands on one of the most exciting upcoming games of the 
year. 2023 is shaping up to be a bumper year for CRPGs , and it's a shame 
that some will get to experience one of the genre's biggest releases of all 
time. 

Though the loss of saves has been a clearly advertised price of admission for 
Baldur's Gate 3 early access, it'll be a shame to say goodbye to those 
characters. Despite all of them being named Tav, these avatars came in all 
sorts of different shapes and sizes. Unfortunately, it looks like these first 
forays into Larian's expansive fantasy title must now be consigned to 
oblivion. Though gone, the Tavs shall remain forever in our hearts. 

 Baldur's Gate 3 may well be one of the best RPGs of the decade so far. 
However, if you're looking for story-driven games of an altogether different 
tradition, our list of the best JRPGs is well worth checking out.
