Larian Studios has been very clear about this: <strong>it&#8217;s necessary to uninstall both the game and the saved game files<\/strong> before installing version 1.0 of Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3. &#8220;We recommend players with the early access installation to uninstall the game and then delete their saved game files. This will reduce the risk of conflicting files when the final game download completes and prevent any issues.&#8221; The communication team also tweeted about it to emphasize this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We still recommend deleting your save files\/mods and doing a fresh install of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 in preparation for August 3!<\/p>&mdash; Baldur&#39;s Gate 3 re-rolled the D8 ?
