Baldurs Gate 3

It’s out in early access. And won’t launch for me.

Still, anybody else playing? What do you think?

I have two friends that managed to get it running last night.

Personally I would to know if it supports UI scaling already in Early Access. (Some rpg and sim games with tiny text are unplayable for me if they don't allow the text to be embiggened relative to the graphics.)

Downloading...

Morrus · Oct 7, 2020

I've given up trying to get it to launch and asked for a refund. It may be my Mac; not sure. I'll have to wait for the non early access, I guess!

Maybe too many download requests?

Don't think the Mac and Stadia releases are ready for launch just yet.

Downloaded overnight (and halfway through the morning), looking forward to playing it this evening. It will be interesting to see how it runs, as my PC is at the low end of the specs for it.

I think Mac early access is due to begin sometime today? Also requires a fairly new MacBook: Pro 15'' 2016+ and 13'' 2018+.

I admit the requirements are influencing the halfhearted laptop shopping I've been engaged in recently. And yes, I know gaming on a Mac is... non-optimal. But they're great all-around computers and as the 1,000+ hours I've dumped into Civ 5 can attest to, they're fine for some use cases (despite running a tad hot...).

Early review-

20 Hours With Baldur's Gate 3's Buggy Early Access Version - Kotaku

My time with Baldur’s Gate 3 can best be summed up by what it made me do: After spending all of Saturday playing it, I re-downloaded Divinity Original Sin

kotaku.com

Positive, but incredibly buggy, even for early access.

I'm playing the stadia version with my son. We just finished the tutorial in Avernus, and made it to the realms... No problems withs bugs so far. Really awesome game, we're enjoying it immensely.

Morrus you could try the stadia verion. we're both on macs using that with no issues.
