Larian Studios has published the official start time for Baldur’s Gate 3, which is a global release and will be available to players around the world at the same time. Release times can be seen below:
- 8am PDT (Los Angeles)
- 11am EDT (New York/Quebec)
- 12pm BRT (Rio De Janeiro)
- 4pm BST (London)
- 5pm CST (Berlin)
- 1am, Aug. 4 (Sydney)
- 3am, Aug. 4 (Auckland)
Developer Larian has recommended players who have taken part in early access uninstall their game and delete their save files to avoid issues at launch. Unfortunately, players will have to wait until the release time to start their download of the full game as a Baldur’s Gate 3 preload is not available. The game is also quite large, over 100 GB, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to download it before you start playing.
@rodneyck @Nonononoki what would be a good gaming laptop that I can use Linux on?
You could go with System76, I think they have a high-end “graphics” laptop, which would be suitable for gaming. Open source company so you are guaranteed everything is compatible with Linux.
However, if money is an issue or you find something else you like, for example the Dell XPS laptops ( in the past have been very compatible with linux,) here is a tool to check the model and/or the parts (important) such as wifi, etc., to see if they are compatible for a lot of laptops.
