Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian has released a new Hotfix for the game on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
As you can see from the patch notes further down the page, the new PlayStation, Xbox and PC update makes various fixes for crashing issues.
It’s particularly crucial for modders, as the update fixes a “potential crash when loading a level without a required mod and then loading with the required mod”.
More fixes are available for crashes when hovering over certain items in the inventory, as well as a fix for high-saturation graphical artefacts appearing in-game.
Likewise, there are various fixes for various subclasses, including reducing the damage of the Piercing Arrow.
The newly released Photo Mode also receives some fixes, such as animals not behaving properly during the look at camera setting.
Other fixes are available for Gameplay and Scripting, as well as the user-interface.
Check out the full list of Baldur’s Gate 3 patch notes below.
MODDING
Toolkit
Fixed a potential crash when loading a level without a required mod and then loading with the required mod.
GAME
Crashes and Performance
Fixed a crash when hovering over certain items in the inventory or while trading.
Fixed trippy, high-saturation graphical artefacts appearing in-game, often when teleporting using waypoints.
New Subclasses
Hexblade warlocks can now replace a spell at Level 2 like the other warlock subclasses.
Immutable Form now reacts to Arcane Shot: Banishing Arrow.
The Fancy Footwork passive now also works even if you miss.
Vaprak’s Greed now takes into account Human Versatility and increases carrying capacity accordingly by another quarter.
Arcane Shot: Grasping Arrow can now also damage Flying targets when they move.
Removed the Long Rest indicator on the Accursed Spectre passive tooltip.
Dazzling Breath now correctly applies the spellcasting ability modifier when an enemy succeeds its Saving Throw.
Dismissing Wind Walk and Gaseous Form will no longer also remove your Starry Form.
The Shadow Blade no longer shows an empty tooltip when you examine the item while upcasting.
Fixed a bug causing Shadow Blade to lose properties when other conditions are removed. This could cause, for example, the blade to lose any bonus damage when Concentration is broken.
Piercing Arrow’s overall damage is now also reduced by half rather than just the bonus damage.
Curving Shot will now only target enemies and not neutral parties. (This could cause neutral parties to, then, naturally, also become your enemies.)
Fixed a bug allowing Sneak Attacks to be triggered on Dirty Trick: Sand Toss.
Gameplay and Scripting
Removed some defunct dialogue that mistakenly made it into Minthara’s Speak with Dead dialogue in Patch 8.
Fixed an issue preventing you from waking up if you Long Rested while Shadowheart was killed outside of camp after deciding her parents’ fate.
The recast of Cloudkill at Level 6 is now accurately marked as Level 6 instead of Level 5 in the UI.
Fixed a bug preventing you from moving corpses into containers on the controller or split screen UI.
Fixed a multiplayer bug where the Traveller’s Chest belonging to the client wouldn’t show up in the Basement (Blighted Village) camp in Act I.
Fixed the Illusory Double invoked with Invoke Duplicity appearing to lack equipment and armour.
Fixed a bug where if you had Scratch summoned and then travelled to a new region, he would be dismissed once the new region loaded and, as a bonus, appear dead in your party line.
All barbarian Rages now correctly gain 3 damage bonus, instead of the previous 2, for objects thrown in a Rage once they hit Level 9.
The movement-based Booming Blade condition will no longer apply to inanimate objects that can’t move on their own anyway.
Photo Mode
Fixed Wild-Shaped boars and cats not paying proper attention to the ‘Look at Camera’ option.
Fixed a ‘FileSystem error’ potentially triggering for users who use non-Latin Windows user accounts when trying to save a screenshot using Photo Mode.
UI and Tooltips
Fixed inconsistent damage values on the Booming Blade tooltips at higher levels.
Fixed a bug causing certain skill tooltips to not appear when you hover over them unless you pin them.
Fixed a Twitch extension bug causing the overlays to disappear on Twitch as soon as you click on them.
