I didn’t mess with mods in EA, but I’m tempted to give a few a try with full release. Specifically camera mods to start. Anyone using any mods at this point, and any you recommend or advise steering clear of? Thanks!
EDIT: I don’t see anyone really using anything yet, so I’m going to hold off myself. I don’t know enough about it to feel confident I won’t jack up my game. Still hope to get some positive feedback regarding mods after release by someone here, so if you do use any and are happy with them, please do let us know!
Most likely, though there is another mod that supposedly re-enables achievements even with mods running.
The achievement enabler introduced a bunch of odd bugs for me (e.g. skipping interactions as if I’d pressed a button) that coupled with the fact that it’s a full on dll replacement (read: arbitrary code execution) skeeved me out enough to uninstall it.
If definitely did work for enabling achievements while playing modded, for what it’s worth though.
I didn’t get the achievements working even with it, I think. Did you run through the launcher?
I use BG3 mod manager for most mods. For that one though you have to do everything manually, if I recall. It was just a matter of dropping the files from the zip file into the game directory and overwriting (I of course backed up my own copies first).
That’s what I did, and I also use BG3MM. But I made a shortcut directly to the exe to skip the launcher, and I wondered if that’s why I was still not getting achievements maybe.
I launch normally through steam, though with the skip launcher option on so I don’t have to bother with the splash screen.
