Baldur's Gate 3 Releases Yet Another Hotfix Update

Larian Studios has released Hotfix #19 for Baldur's Gate 3, making this the third update the game has seen in a week. Like the previous Baldur's Gate 3 update, this one seeks to further correct issues seemingly introduced by the release of Patch 6.

Many players reported experiencing problems with the game following the release of Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 6 on February 16, ranging from graphics glitches to bugs that have made the game impossible to play for some. The patch contained a massive amount of new content, including new animations and quality-of-life improvements, with the first hotfix arriving only a few days after its release.

Part of this new update, which was announced on the community forum on Larian Studios' website, continues the work of Hotfix #18 by addressing a performance issue that has been occurring for players in Honour Mode during trading. Solutions for Xbox users regarding controller assignments and multiplayer invites have also been included. The developers also addressed an issue in Baldur's Gate 3 in which items didn't lose certain conditions after lowering the game's difficulty from Tactician Mode to an easier setting. For players romancing either Minthara or Lae'zel, this update also fixes a few misaligned and unintentionally comedic Baldur's Gate 3 kissing animations. Currently, the update is only for those playing Baldur's Gate 3 on PC, but those with consoles can expect the update to follow soon.

Larian's statement on the update's release also goes on to reassure Mac users that Patch 6 will be arriving to them soon. With Larian Studios reportedly expanding to include a seventh studio, they'll hopefully be able to provide Mac users with updates at the same time as players on PCs. Those playing Baldur's Gate 3 on Mac can continue to expect a delay. Larian also acknowledged that the hotfix will probably make the game incompatible with any mods players may be using.

Understandably, a game as large and complex as Baldur's Gate 3 tends to require
