Larian instructs "Baldur's Gate 3" players to delete and uninstall early access saves.

With just two days left until the release of Baldur's Gate 3, Larian Studios is recommending that players with Early Access versions of the game completely delete them to avoid any potential launch day headaches.

"We ask all 'Baldur's Gate 3' players with Early Access saves to launch the game before the August 3 launch and delete all save files to avoid any unintended conflicts on launch day," Larian tweeted. Larian tweeted.

"Also, please delete mods and ensure that they are not automatically re-downloaded.

"Players with Early Access installed are advised to uninstall the game after deleting their save files. Doing so will reduce the risk of file conflicts when the final game is downloaded.

While it may seem a bit counterintuitive to uninstall the early access version of "Baldur's Gate 3" just prior to release, Larian has made it clear that there is no advantage to leaving it behind when the full version is released. Saved games cannot be carried over, and Larian boss Swen Vincke recently said that the 1.0 release "will be a complete reinstall" anyway.

A "complete guide" on what players can expect in the final stages leading up to launch is now available on Steam; Baldur's Gate 3 will go live on August 3 at 8:00 am PT / 11:00 am ET.
