Baldur’s Gate 3 Update 1.700.500 Released on Consoles to Deal With Save Loading Issues Affected by Mods

[summaraize]

Last month, Larian Studios issued Hotfix 29 for consoles and this targeted mods. Unfortunately, as part of the patch, it also caused issues for players who were unable to load saves that had more than 100 mods already enabled. Today, the studio released Baldur’s Gate 3 update 1.700.500 on consoles, which should solve that problem.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Update 1.700.500 Fixes Load Saves Issues Affected by Mods

According to Larian, this follow-up patch “has now gone live on consoles that will allow console players to load saves that previously had more than 100 mods enabled by disabling any mods previously active on those saves. This will give console players the opportunity to attempt to continue playing on these saves.”

For players who didn’t have a save with more than 100 mods enabled on their consoles, this fix will not affect you at all.

Larian has also made recommendations for attempting to fix an existing save.

Per the studio, “When you’re modding a game, changes to some of the files mean that particular mods are required to be enabled to ensure your save still loads correctly. This hotfix also gives you the ability to re-subscribe up to 100 of the mods you previously had enabled. Should you opt not to re-subscribe to a particular mod, you might experience crashes and other gameplay issues.”

While the patch released today aims to restore access to these saves, Larian mentions that players might still encounter instability issues due to the nature of mods. For players who want to regain access to their saves with some of the mods they’ve enabled previously and still remain under the 100-mod limit, the following mods tend to have a lower impact on saves according to the studio.

Larian recommends trying to load a save without the items listed below first:

• Dice skins
• Face cosmetics
• Mods that add items

While this is a minor patch released to handle mods, there’s a lot to look forward to in 2025. Larian has promised the release of Patch 8, which will finally bring crossplay functionality, and even new subclasses.
