Reportedly, some PS5 players have encountered frustrating crashes while immersing themselves in the world of Baldur's Gate 3. The issue seems to be related to a network problem, leaving both players and the developers of Baldur’s Gate 3 puzzled. While the development team works to bring a quick solution to the problem, they have suggested a temporary solution to address the issue.
Baldur's Gate 3 received high praise from critics and eager fans upon its debut. However, it seems that not even the most renowned titles are immune to technical problems, as not all players have been able to fully enjoy the game due to these troublesome crashes on the PS5 platform. Since its launch (including the early access phase), Baldur's Gate 3 has experienced some performance issues on the Steam Deck, as well as various glitches and other problems. However, the developers at Larian Studios wasted no time in addressing these issues.
Through the official Baldur’s Gate 3 Twitter account, it has been announced that the sudden crashes faced by PS5 players could be due to a PSN-related issue. The development team behind Baldur's Gate 3 is fully aware of the situation and has promptly launched an investigation into the matter. While they work to identify the root cause of these PS5 crashes, they have provided players with a temporary workaround to keep the game running smoothly. The recommended solution given by the developers is to disconnect the PS5 from the internet. This step may seem unconventional, but it appears to mitigate the crashing issue, allowing players to continue their adventures in the world of Baldur's Gate 3 uninterrupted.
As the development team works to resolve the PS5 crashing problem, players can rest assured that their feedback is important in ensuring that Baldur's Gate 3 delivers the exceptional gaming experience they anticipated, as the studio has demonstrated previously by addressing many other issues with each new patch. In the meantime, disconnecting from the internet may be the key to avoiding those frustrating crashes and enjoying the adventures that await in the game.
It is true that while doing this, players will have to forgo the possibility of playing online, which is typically crucial in a CRPG that emulates a D&D experience. However, this doesn't eliminate the option of enjoying a local cooperative mode without requiring an internet connection to progress through the campaign. Despite the initial technical challenges, and those that have arisen subsequently, such as this one on PS5, the game's captivating storytelling and immersive world make it worthwhile for players to continue playing Baldur's Gate 3 in local co-op or as a lone adventurer.
Baldur's Gate 3 is out now for PC and PS5 with an Xbox Series X/S version in development.
