Were you casting a spell that required concentration at the time of seeing this white cross appear on the character portrait? If so, that's the new cancel concentration icon.

Try verifying your game files.

Also Disable any third-party audio-influencing software you might be using, such as Voicemeeter, Dolby Access, Logitech gaming software, check windows audio output settings/properties and make sure that spatial sound format is set to off.

Mine did this earlier and I had to "resume" it twice and let it verify twice before it actually finished installing. It could also be a space issue if you don't have enough space on your hard drive for it to finish installing.

If you have any mods installed, or were you using any in previous game versions, try completely removing them (check the 'Mods' and 'Public' folders in the '..\SteamApps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data' folder, if either folders are present, it is safe to delete them).

Make sure you also have the game set to automatically update.

@ The Rum King - you need to set your betas to NONE to get Patch 5.
