Hello everyone,
Today, we’re rolling out a brief hotfix exclusively for consoles, addressing several stability and performance concerns related to mod usage.
Unlike PCs, consoles have a limited capacity to manage files simultaneously. The more mods you install, the quicker this limit is approached. To enhance stability, we’re setting a cap of 100 mods for console platforms and recommend installing only those mods you’re certain you’ll keep using.
Console users won’t be able to access saved games with over 100 mods enabled. If you utilize cross-saves and switch between PC and console, you might need to reduce the number of active mods on your PC to continue accessing your saves on the console.
We’ll be releasing another update shortly to help console players access saves that have been disabled due to today’s update. However, please bear in mind that mods can cause instability, especially on consoles, and you might face issues when deactivating mods from your PC.
If you have more than 100 mods installed on your console, they will be automatically removed. You’ll need to re-download the mods, start a new save, or load an earlier save with fewer than 100 mods to continue playing.
As we work towards enabling cross-play for Baldur’s Gate 3, please remember this mod limit when joining console players! More details on this will follow.
