[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60125, member: 1"] Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian has issued an emergency hotfix that changes the way personal story databases work because players had maxed them out. “As it turns out, many of you were doing so much in Baldur’s Gate 3 that some of your personal ‘story’ databases (where your choices and actions are stored) got too big,” Larian explained in a post on the game’s [URL='https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1086940/view/6199820457237465522']Steam[/URL] page. “We now made the size infinite (or at least as infinite as you have storage space), to account for the sheer amount of things you’re all doing on your journeys.” Baldur’s Gate 3's monstrously large launch was way beyond Larian’s expectations. [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-now-one-of-the-biggest-steam-games-ever']It’s one of the biggest games on Steam ever[/URL], with over 800,000 peak concurrent players. According to Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, Baldur’s Gate 3 play accounted for nearly 28% of total player time spent on Steam on August 6, , leading all other titles by far, including Valve’s own Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Baldur's Gate 3 players, then, are clearly having a hard time tearing themselves away from their monitors as the sheer scope of Larian's sprawling, Dungeons & Dragons-themed role-playing game hits home. So it’s no surprise to learn Baldur’s Gate 3 players maxed out their save file space so soon after launch. Now, at least, you can save away until your own storage space waves the white flag. “There is no unit of measurement that can accurately measure the time between ‘oh that is hilarious’ and ‘oh f**k’,” Larian director of publishing, Michael Douse, said in a tweet, which gives you some idea of the emergency nature of the hotfix. Meanwhile, hotfix 2.1 also reactivated cross-saves as the PlayStation 5 launch nears. Hotfix 3 is “in the oven”, Larian said, and adds further fixes in the near future. There’s so much going on in the virtual world of Baldur’s Gate 3, from [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-reignites-age-old-save-scumming-debate']a community debate about save scumming[/URL] to [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-fans-are-convinced-they-can-fix-shadowheart']players who are convinced they can “fix” Shadowheart[/URL].
