If you're working your way through the Baldur's Gate 3 achievements, be aware that recording and uploading some of the game's more steamier moments to the Xbox network goes against the Xbox Community Standards as one player has now found out.

In a post on Reddit, user Daddy-Vegas says that they recorded "some naked camp time fun" in Baldur's Gate 3 on their Xbox Series X|S using the game DVR function. Unbeknown to them, the clips were automatically uploaded to the Xbox network and their activity feed, leaving Daddy-Vegas with a 366-day Xbox suspension.

According to Vegas, three clips were recorded and uploaded to the Xbox network, which resulted in their account receiving nine strikes for breaking the Xbox Community Standards. Looking at a screenshot uploaded with the post, the enforcement team gave Daddy-Vegas a four-day suspension, then a 22-day suspension, and then finally a 366-day suspension all with 30 seconds.

XBox Users: DO NOT RECORD GAME CLIPS

If you'd like to avoid a similar fate but still capture screenshots and clips of the naughtier scenes in your games, it's recommended you turn off the automatic uploads via your Xbox's settings... or maybe just not capture them at all. To turn off automatic uploads, open the Guide on your Xbox Series X|S, scroll over the Profile & system tab, and locate Settings. From here, scroll down to Preferences and click on the Capture & share button, where you'll then find a section labeled Automatic Uploads. Here, you'll want to make sure that the setting called To the Xbox network is set to Don't Upload.

Of course, not uploading your captures to the Xbox network will make it a little more difficult to share your screenshots and clips on social media, so you'll then need to either manually upload the clips you want to share onto the Xbox network or use Microsoft OneDrive to download them onto your phone or computer before sharing.

Microsoft rolled out its new Xbox strike system last August in an attempt to boost player safety. The system gives you eight strikes before your account is suspended for a year, but looking at this story, it comes down to the severity of the misconduct, as each of the three videos was seen as its own infraction, resulting in three strikes given to each clip.
