Baldur's Gate 3 is still suffering from its deleted save bug, but Larian has shared a workaround

Even though it's been a few weeks since Baldur's Gate 3 launched on Xbox Series X|S, some players are still facing an issue where saved data is being deleted once they sign out. The issue is being investigated by Microsoft but has yet to be resolved. Fortunately, Larian Studios has offered a workaround for anyone desperate to get stuck in which utilizes the studios' cross-save system. 

As posted to Twitter/X, Larian Studios shared a step-by-step way to access their cross-save system and not lose too much progress in your future playthroughs. To do so, you will need to create a Larian account and visit the options menu under the main menu. From here, you'll need to navigate to the gameplay menu and activate cross-saves before linking your Xbox and Larian accounts. The full step-by-step as posted by Larian Studios can be seen below:

Once this is done, your last five saves will automatically be uploaded to the Larian servers. So, if you do face the deleted save data bug, you'll be able to reload one of your previous saves and not lose your entire progress. 

With that said, Larian has expressed that all players should wait for the notification stating that "Syncing cloud save" is no longer visible to ensure all saves have been uploaded - otherwise, you might find yourself back to square one. 

Should the firmware issue occur, you'll need to re-activate cross-save functionality in the options screen of your game, which will give you access to any previous saves you have uploaded to the servers. 

Larian has also announced that it plans to increase the amount of save data files each player can have via this system should this temporary workaround to last a little longer than anticipated. For updates on the situation, it's best to keep an eye on the official Larian Studios Twitter page.

We've got a list of all the best RPGs if you're looking for an alternative game to get stuck in while waiting for this issue to be fixed. Our guide to the best single-player games is worth checking out for solo adventurers.

Windows Copilot leak suggests deeper assimilation with Windows 11 features

Key Windows 11 features may soon be customizable as Microsoft further integrates its Windows Copilot AI assistant into the operating system. This tidbit comes from tech news site Windows Latest , which claims to have discovered new .json (JavaScript Object Notation) files within recent preview builds of Windows 11. These files apparently hint at future upgrades for the desktop AI assistant. For example, a “TaskManagerService-ai-plugin.json” was found which is supposedly a “plugin for Task Manager integration”. If this ever comes out, it could give users the ability to “monitor or close running apps using” Copilot. In total, six are currently tested and they affect various aspects of Windows 11. Next, there is an “AccessbilityTools-ai-plugin.json” that gives Copilot a way to “control accessibility [tools]. This would make it "easier for those with [a] disability to navigate through the system.” Third is “ai-plugin-WindowsSettings.json” for controlling important Windows 11 set...

IPS stands for in-plane switching , a form of LED tech offering some of the best color output and viewing angles on the market.
