Baldur's Gate 3 launched earlier this month to player and critical acclaim. However, as players have begun to reach act 3, many are discovering that it's...a touch less polished than the first two acts.
Game’s a buggy as hell mess. MP with my partner has had many, many bugs. Until this patch many spells were straight up wrong in the tool tip. Unacceptable stuff, imho. Reviewers have been way too kind.

Played again tonight. In a fifteen minute span of playing, we had four significant bugs. First my dialogue got bugged and didn’t get the speech choices (my partner did, but I was leading the conversation so that didn’t matter). After a quick load that was fixed. We move to a new zone and suddenly I have a characters outlined permanently. Check settings, it’s set to off. Quick load doesn’t fix it, quit to menu doesn’t fix it. Have to completely restart the game.
Then I listened in on one of my partner’s conversations and when it was done, I was randomly stuck inside a box. Quick load later, we’re going along and after climbing down a ladder my partner is teleported into a box.
Like… Honestly, I don’t believe anyone who says they are playing MP bug free. This shit happens every play session for us.
Yep we did a massive battle yesterday, went to long rest. Got stuck in the camp with us lying down on the floor twitching with our heads in the campfire itself. Couldn’t quit, couldn’t save, couldn’t leave the fucked camp sleep animation. Tried everything.
Also playing with my partner. Spell tooltips have been completely accurate, and we’ve only encountered one issue, which was solved with waiting a minute and the game sorted itself out.
Wyll is completely borked. You can google wyll multiplayer for more details, other people have had the same issue. I don’t want to give too much spoiler away for anyone else reading.
I’d recommend repairing your install in case some of the bugs are caused by corrupt files. I’m doing a multiplayer runthrough with a friend and we’ve encountered minor bugs like a exclamation mark being stuck over Wyll’s head, but nothing gamebreaking.

Had to reload and redo. Fucking bullshit.

I mean I’m glad for you but the tool tips thing is just objective. You can even see the ones they fixed and updated in the patch notes.
As for other bugs, hope you continue being lucky. We’re completely locked out of s major character’s storyline because of a bug.
Just out of curiosity, which character?
And what is the bug that caused the lock out?

Have you been able to progress Wyll’s storyline? Because that sounds like the “he’s broken” bug.
