As players are busily exploring Baldur’s Gate and getting up to all sorts of mischief, developer Larian Studios continues to fix and enhance various aspects of BG3. The latest hotfix takes aim at several crashes, bugs, flow issues and companions. If you decide to read the full patch notes, take note that there are spoilers abound.
Shortly after the patch rolled out, the team noticed a build error causing new crashes and the hotfix had been reverted. It will be back soon once the issues are taken care of.
“If you’ve saved since updating, you won’t be able to load those saves until we’ve re-published Hotfix 4. You can keep playing on your Hotfix 3 saves, you just won’t be able to load saves from today’s Hotfix 4 until it’s pushed live again. Sorry about the inconvenience. 🙏”
Here are some spoiler-free fixes included in the Hotfix #4:
- Fixed players getting stuck mid-Long-Rest due to companions not waking up.
- Fixed a script issue preventing some players from loading savegames.
- Fixed characters disappearing when disconnecting and reconnecting in split-screen.
- Added a warning for hosts in multiplayer when clients join through drop-in during Character Creation. Hosts must now grant approval before new players join.
- Fixed the visibility of multiplayer servers on GOG.
- Fixed Cruel Sting adding infinite additional Psychic damage to attacks.
- Player resources are now correctly restored at the end of Act II.
