Baldur’s Gate 3 Multiplayer Lag and Desync

No game is perfect on day one and this is not even the finished product of Baldur’s Gate 3. This is just early access given to players to get a taste of what’s coming. Early access is bound to have issues as the developers are still in the process of developing the game.

Players have experienced a performance lag in gameplay while playing in multiplayer modes and single player mode. There is a temporary fix for this issue. Players will have to change their graphic application programming interface from Vulkan to DX11. This fix has worked for most people.

Players have also experienced multiplayer desync issues while playing 4 player party modes. There are two fixes for this issue. The first one is to change the host of the game. The second one is a cumbersome one, but works for some people. Players will have to wait until it syncs itself.
