[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60029, member: 1"] The developer of Baldur’s Gate 3 has told fans to delete the Early Access version, any save files and mods, and do a fresh install when the hotly-anticipated role-playing game launches proper on August 3. Baldur’s Gate 3 has been in Early Access on Steam since October 2020 and developer Larian has already [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3s-122gb-download-cannot-be-preloaded']warned players they face a 122GB install for Baldur’s Gate 3’s launch build[/URL], which cannot be preloaded. In a follow-up tweet explaining this (below), Larian told Early Access players to delete their save files and mods and do a fresh install. This is to reduce the risk of file conflicts when the final game downloads, and "should mean more playing, and no troubleshooting!" For many fans who are excited to jump straight into Baldur’s Gate 3, this means downloading and installing the game as soon as it’s available at 8am Pacific / 11am Eastern / 4pm UK. Larian said Early Access players should launch the game first, delete all save files and remove any mods to ensure they do not automatically re-download, then delete the game. According to [URL='https://twitter.com/Cromwelp/status/1686448234246324226']Larian director of publishing, Michael Douse[/URL], the best way to delete your Baldur's Gate 3 saves is in-game, so Steam Cloud and Larian Cloud (if you've signed up) are updated server-side to reflect those deletions. If you deleted Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access before deleting save files, Douse said you should re-download the Early Access version, go in-game to delete your saves, then uninstall "for avoidance of doubt".
