It has been some time since the release of Baldur’s Gate 3. Players have dived into the nitty-gritty of the game, finding rare items and uncovering secrets. Along with these, there is also a fair dosage of bugs and errors that many have had to deal with. Well, a recent bug, “Cannot fast travel from this area” in Baldur’s Gate 3 has been reported by many. So, in this guide, we have shared details on how to get rid of it for good.
The “Cannot fast travel from this area” bug that players are encountering in the game is preventing their companions from being able to fast travel or join the main character at the camp. While their main character seems unaffected and can fast travel and rest normally, the other companions remain stationary on the ground, unable to join the camp. So, is there a fix for this issue? Let us find out.
Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3) Cannot fast travel from this area Bug: Is there any fix yet
Unfortunately, there isn’t a guaranteed or official solution or workaround available right now. This issue can be quite frustrating, especially if it’s hindering your progress. It’s worth noting that bugs and glitches like this are not uncommon in video games; therefore, we have a few workarounds you can try to potentially fix it:
Restart
Sometimes, restarting the game can clear up minor glitches. Just make sure to save your progress before doing so. If you want to go the extra mile, you can even try rebooting your system.
Linking Characters
In the game, there’s an option to link your companions to your main character, so they all travel together. To do this, look for a “link” icon near your characters’ portraits. If they are not linked, selecting “Going to Camp” might send only the selected character instead of the whole party. So, go ahead and make sure all your party members are properly linked before attempting to fast travel.
Killing/reviving the party members
Another workaround for this involves you downing or killing your party members. This will make them fall unconscious or even die. You can achieve this by allowing enemies to reduce their hit points to zero. After your companions are unconscious, use healing spells or items to revive them back to consciousness. This might help reset their positions and actions, potentially resolving this issue.
Try the “Leave Camp” Option
Well, for this workaround, instead of using fast travel, try selecting the “Leave Camp” option. This might help if the fast travel option isn’t working as expected.
Try Long Rest
To do this, click the campfire icon at the bottom-right corner of your screen. Then, select the crescent moon icon. Here, click on the Long Rest option, which will teleport you to your camp. Once in the camp, click on the campfire and then click on “Go to bed” to start the long rest. After resting, try to fast-travel and check if that solves the issue.
Reload a Save
If you have a previous save file from before encountering this bug, try reloading that save and see if the issue persists. Sometimes, reloading a previous save can help bypass the bug. While this might mean redoing some parts of the game, it could help if other solutions don’t work.
And that is all the information we have to share on this matter. Perhaps the developers will pay attention to this annoying bug and decide to address it once and for all. But that is just speculation and should be taken with a grain of salt. Anyway, for more guides and tutorials on all the latest games, make sure to stay tuned to DigiStatement.
