Turn-based cRPG Baldur’s Gate 3 is now officially available on PC. Developer Larian Studios also rolled out the game’s very first hotfix, introducing a variety of enhancements and fixes to bugs big and small. The hotfix also tackled a great number of crashes and blockers players could have experienced.
Check out the full list of patch notes on the game’s Steam page. Note that “Cinematics” section contains spoilers!
“We’ve been reading your reports on issues with saving your game, and have found a culprit – our cross-saves. Bearing in mind this will only be a useful feature come September 6 when the PlayStation 5 version launches (and beyond), we’ve decided to disable it for now to allow us to solve the issue in the interim. You shouldn’t notice anything in-game and Steam Cloud saves are unaffected by this change.”
