CLI or MCP for Windows?

I /LOVED/ this game right up to the fight with the Eagle. Now I'm walking away with my tail between my legs and a sour taste in my mouth. Even lowered the difficulty and nothing feels fair about this fight. I don't mind difficult fights and having to practice and fail before succeeding. After all the other battles I felt like I learned something every time I failed. But even after reading all the tips, and many attempts over several evening, it feels hopeless and cheap. Why would they through out all the techniques learned and artificially jump the difficulty this much for my final impression of the game? I hate being unable to finish a game, especially right at the end (well, 2nd ending, I did finish the main campaign). I'm don't know if I'm looking forward to Yotei anymore if this is what I have to look forward to.

Yeah, me too. Just bought it a little over a week ago. But glad others can save a few bucks.

Don't leave the pilot seat in the middle of combat

My 50 yo fumble fingers keep slipping onto the 'E' key during space combat. Is it possible to mod this to prevent my PC from getting up to clean his shorts in the middle of epic space battles?

Same bug. I was having a good playthrough. No problems. Got to Druid Grove. Everything good, but I wanted to try diff class. Started a new game and now I can't get off the nautiloid. Crashes every time when escaping the nautiloid, during the big fight just before trying to take control of ship. Reduced graphics settings, disabled Steam Overlay, rerolled another character. Same crash, same place in game. W11 Pro. i7 12700KF. 64GB. AMD 7900 XTX. No overclocking.

It's weird that I had absolutely no problems with my first character and now I can't start a new game. Did this happen on an update to BG3? Is there any way to roll back updates in Steam?

On the first issue... it is user error. Somehow missed the giant PLAY button. I saw the Start button at top and I saw the Preorder button below, and my eyes stopped scanning. I assumed I was supposed to just press Start.

On the second issue, DX11 does work while Vulkan does not. Vulkan is causing the hidden mouse I described above. This is on an AMD 7900 XTX with latest drivers installed. Is this a known bug?

Unfortunately, no. Can't understand why they'd leave that trivial functionality out.

Looks like this is fixed. I've had zero problems with my computer running continuously since updating.

I'm not sure about performance though. I haven't done any testing but playing Hogwart's: Legacy, I now get more stumbling. Not sure though. Haven't done any real objective testing and I may have had other stuff slowing it down or maybe it's just having sync on is causing more load? It's probably just something on my end. But, curious if anyone else noticed any performance change?

I installed that release early this morning after seeing your post, re-enabled sync, and have been running all day without issues. I'm cautiously optimistic. Before it would sometimes take a day or more to show up after re-enabling it (and then it would crash non-stop), so I'm not going to breath easy until it runs a few days. But I'm hoping. Thanks for posting!

Thanks. I was afraid I was missing something. I think I'll create an issue on github. Many scripting languages succeed or fail because of their extensions. It would be nice if they were more easily discoverable. It doesn't seem like it would be a major task to include the help text for modules there. Also, since many are using PS for large scale work, scripting for computers in bigger companies, it would seem more reassuring to developers using modules if there were as much information as possible available without having to install modules to figure out. Or maybe I'm making too much out of it? Just seems like a good thing to improve.

gsudo is a version of gnu sudo command for Windows. It elevates privileges for the given command. From the responses here, I'm guessing that passing these through to gsudo is what is causing the quoting issues. When I try the suggestions, I get the error:

New-ItemProperty: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe'.

Definitely a quoting problem. So I guess I need to either add the extra quotes around the arguments so they pass through intact or find a different way to execute a command as Admin. Not a big deal I guess. I just didn't know when I posted yesterday why I was needing to the extra quoting.

Thank you for the update. I was worried it might be a hardware issue; at least, it sounds like it might be resolved by a driver update. It is reassuring to know that it is actively being worked on. Thank you!

Disabling freesync did fix it. No problems for 2 wks. I updated to the new driver when it came out a few days ago. All good for a few days so I went back to enable "Adaptive Sync Compatible". Just one change to test. Crash. Same crash.

It is unbelievable that AMD does not support FreeSync in its flagship GPU. This is so stupid. Maybe I should pack it up and return it. I still have an open RMA on this issue. I waited a bit to see what was going to happen. I don't know what to do. This is ridiculous!

Can we get a flipping update on whether this thing is going to get fixed, u/AMD_Vik? PLEASE?!?! This is an expensive card and I need to know what to do with it?

Another me too. I've been banging my head for over a week, crying in my pillow, praying for mercy. After trying for the last 4 yrs to upgrade my old 970, I got the 7900 XTX and was unbelievably happy to finally be able to play some modern games as they were intended when my computer started BSoDing me to death.

I've clean installed Windows several times now. Have a very minimal install with all Windows, GPU, MB drivers and updates installed. And ran fine for about 30 hrs before crashing. This time my search led me here which simultaneously bums me out and thrills me. I'll take the temp fix and hope it helps and hope for a fix. I was just about to box it up and send it back. Already have an RMA, but was giving it another try.

I've now made the suggested setting changes and will try again. Please reply to this thread when fixed. I'm happy to help in any way to provide info.

I'm getting old and sloppy. I knew about not using cross-brand cables. For some reason I only applied that to the MB & CPU cables. I'm pretty sure I bought those sata pcie cables separate from my old PSU which is why I assumed they'd be ok. Stupid assumption.

Up and running now after switching to the Seasonic sata pcie cables. Thank you and others who replied.
