I just found a workaround for when party members fail to follow you!

I’m guessing y’all have been having this happen a lot too: you jump from one platform to another. Maybe one or two party members follow you… or maybe they all just stand on the ledge, picking their noses. They can all make the jump. Why won’t they join you?… So now you have to ungroup your party, manually make each laggard jump over, and regroup. It’s been maddening lately as I’m in an area with lots of jumping and having this happen very frequently.

Solution (and tl;dr): Simply ungroup and regroup. This seems to reset all your party members’ pathfinding and get them “unstuck” so they will jump over properly. I’m guessing this will solve other similar pathfinding issues as well.

This is such a simple workaround I’m surprised it took me so long to figure it out. I hope it helps someone else.

    Thanks, I’m sure that will come in handy at some point! I’m taking a break from BG3, not sure if it’s cumulative heavy use over the years (I use my gaming PC primarily for audio / animation) but BG3 really sent my CPU and GPU into some sort of heat meltdown. It’s better with the latest patch but still pushes my i9 12900k to scary heat levels, think I need to lay off taxing new games until I check the thermal paste & add some proper cooling solutions. Will be worth it though.

    I’d never played anything DnD related before BG3, and very nearly skipped it because generally I don’t like turn based games… but this is a game I’ll gladly upgrade my cooling to play, it’s prob going to be one of the games of the decade I reckon.
