Baldur’s Gate 3 has reached its launch and finally, fans can enjoy the game, at least that’s what we imagined. The success was so surprising that Steam had malfunctions and the pre-loading of the title was unavailable caused by technical oscillation due to the excess of players eager to download the medieval adventure on their devices.
Baldur’s Gate 3 has an overwhelming success in its launching and prejudiced Steam
In the aftermath, Swen Vincke, CEO and Founder of developer Larian Studios, tweeted a screenshot of the Steam issues escalating yesterday at 8 am Pacific/11 am Eastern/4 pm UK (game launch time) and were reported by a user.

Vincke wrote “Sorry” in response to the post, somewhat taking responsibility and being proud at the same time of Baldur’s Gate 3‘s roaring start to gameplay, maybe even feeling bad that other players didn’t access the work he produced, it must be a mixed bag of feelings.

Other examples of technical issues likely caused by excessive downloads of Baldur’s Gate 3 and encountered by players were the loading progress bar showing as empty and saying only “Busy”, suggesting the inability to download it at the moment.
The role-playing game based on Dungeons & Dragons was highly anticipated by fans and has been in Early Access on Steam since October 2020, but now, finally available, it has brought a surprising amount of players that must have been underestimated by Steam and its servers paid the price. price.

Previously, developer Larian tried to warn players that the game’s file size would be 122 GB and could not be downloaded ahead of time. One recommendation given was to delete the Early Access version along with all of its saves and mods so they could do a fresh install of the full version at launch to ensure no storage conflict occurred.
It remains to be seen exactly if any of this causes Steam to malfunction, but we can guess that it was the crowd of excited gamers accessing and downloading at the same time. The game’s story and setting are immersed in the world of the world-famous TTRPG D&D and are brought into the digital experience on consoles or PC. In the game, you can create your character and live the high fantasy adventures.
But if you can’t wait for the errors to be fixed or you can’t guarantee the game now, consider getting to know and entering the Dungeons & Dragons games where the limit of the stories is only your imagination.
