For fans of RPG action/adventure games, 2023 has been a blessing. On August 3, 2023, the latest Baldur’s Gate game was released for PC players. Over the years, Baldur’s Gate has been a phenomenal series in the RPG genre. This same legacy is now being continued by Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3. The game has been in Early Access since 2020, and after three years, Larian Studios has finally come out with the full release. However, this leap hasn’t been as smooth as the developers and the fans expected it to be. Like most other titles, quite naturally, in Baldur’s Gate 3, players are also encountering different bugs. To make sure that the developers are aware of these bugs, reporting these issues becomes significantly important. Thus, in this article, we’re going to discuss how to submit Baldur’s Gate 3 bug reports.
A game encountering different bugs post-launch isn’t really something exclusive to BG3. This is actually quite common for newly released games. Players encounter bugs while playing; they share the issues with the concerned team, and the developers take note. These bug reports really help the development team understand which elements in the game are malfunctioning, and they can build fixes and solutions accordingly. However, when it comes to Baldur’s Gate 3, fans aren’t exactly sure where and how to report the bugs they’re facing so that they reach the developers.

How to Submit Bug Report in Baldur’s Gate 3?
So, let us assume this scenario – you’re playing the game and you notice that it is malfunctioning. This could be anything, really—from the game not launching or crashing to in-game items not working as they should. Once you notice one such bug, you’ll want to fix it first. For this, as Larian Studios has mentioned on their support page, players will have to try out a few workarounds. Especially after the release of the full version of the game, Early Access saves and mods can trigger different bugs. The developers mentioned that players need to erase all the Early Access saves and mods, uninstall the Early Access version itself, and verify game files first to check if these fix the bug. If you’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work, then you have to proceed and submit a bug report. Here are the steps:
- First, take a screenshot of your screen when you encounter the bug. If you can record a short video, it would be even more helpful for the developers. You can also attach the crash dump file if the game’s crashing on your system.
- Once you have the screenshot or video ready, click on this link to go to the Larian Studios support page.
- Here, you’ll have to fill in the details to notify the developers about what exactly is happening.
- Select the platform (PC/Mac) on which you’re playing the game. Then, provide additional details, such as your email address and your full name.
- Once the credentials are filled in, select the type of report (blocker, bug, crash, etc.) that you want to submit.
- Following this, explain and describe the issue that you’re facing in the game. Once you do that, you’ll need to submit the version of the game that you’re using. If you’re using a launcher, then you can check for the version number when you open the launcher.
- Finally, click on the “Submit” button, and your bug report will be submitted.
So, this is how you can submit a bug report in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you’ve encountered a bug in the game, then you can use these steps to notify the developers about the issue.
