Alright so I totally gotta share this wild ride I just went through with Baldur’s Gate 3. See I kept running into this crap where the game would straight-up crash anytime I tried turning in multiple quests at once. Like seriously? Made me wanna throw my keyboard out the window.
The Whole Screw-up Begins
Started like this: loaded my save near Rivington. Had five friggin’ quests ready to hand in. Hit the talk button with Fytz the Turner guy… BAM! Instant game crash to desktop. No error message, nothing. Just poof – gone. Reloaded, same damn thing happened.
Turns out? That stupid Script Extender thing everyone swears by? Yeah that’s the troublemaker here. My mod list wasn’t even crazy long:
- Native Camera Tweaks
- Better Hotbars
- Party Limit Begone
- Script Extender (obviously)
Unsubbed from Script Extender first like some guides said. Nope. Still crashed.
What Actually Freaking Worked
After wasting like three hours? Here’s the dumb simple fix:
- Killed Steam completely – not just close, full task manager murder
- Nuked every mod file manually from the BG3 data folder (even emptied recycle bin for good measure)
- Verified game files through Steam (took forever)
- Reinstalled only Party Limit Begone without Script Extender
Loaded that same cursed save file… and holy crap. Walked right up to Fytz, handed in all five quests one after another. Game didn’t even stutter. Felt like magic.
Few extra things that helped:
- Disabled cloud saves temporarily during this mess
- Wiped old save files beyond the last 10 backups
- Capped framerate at 60fps through Nvidia control panel
Honestly it’s stupid how much trial and error this took. Everyone kept shouting “SCRIPT EXTENDER!” but turns out just using less of that crap made things work. Who woulda thought?
So yeah. If your game keeps exploding when quest-turning? Skip the complex mod tools. Rip that bandaid off and watch things magically work.
