Auto Quicksave - Automatic Save - Autosave Script

BG3 Auto Quicksave Script

MUST READ: THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL MOD. IT IS AN AUTOHOTKEY SCRIPT THAT YOU WILL RUN WHEN YOU PLAY THE GAME.

Description:

This AutoHotkey script automatically saves your game by pressing F5 at regular intervals while you play Baldur's Gate 3. This ensures you never lose your progress, even if you forget to save manually. Don't worry though, it only presses F5 when the game is actually in focus.

Press RCtrl to pause/unpause the script. Pausing the script will make a low-pitch sound and unpausing it will cause a high-pitch sound. While the script is paused, a high-pitch tone will play every 3 minutes, reminding you that the script is paused.

This script is compatible with multiplayer. Only the host of the multiplayer session needs to be running the script.

Requirements:

- Install AutoHotkey v2. 0

- Only works on Windows. Sorry Linux and Mac users.

Installation:

1. Download and install AutoHotkey v2. 0 if you haven't already.

2. Download BG3_AutoQuicksave.zip from the Files section of this mod page.

3. Extract the BG3_AutoQuicksave.ahk file out of the .zip file and place it in a convenient location. (I placed mine on the desktop).

4. Double-click on the .ahk file and select "Run as administrator".

5. A high-pitch sound should play when you run the script.

How to Use:

1. When you start the game, manually run the script by double-clicking it and selecting "Run as administrator".

2. If a high-pitch sound is made, then the script should be running without errors.

3. Press RCtrl while in the game to pause/unpause the script. Pausing the script will make a low-pitch sound and unpausing it will cause a high-pitch sound. While the script is paused, a high-pitch tone will play every 3 minutes, reminding you that the script is paused.

Configuration:

Having trouble with the script? Open the .ahk file with a text-editor (e.g Notepad) and inspect the script. At the top of the script you will see these configurable values...

time := 600
