A new Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix is now live, addressing various issues such as crashing and savegame issues to provide a smoother experience.
Hotfix #7 fixes, as mentioned above, multiple crashing issues, such as one that occurs when listening to some dialogues during a multiplayer session and another caused by corrupted item stacks that can occur when moving to a new region. The hotfix also fixes some savegame issues, such as one that happens when loading into a new region while Withers’ Wardrobe was loaded in another region, another that caused crashing when loading a save with potentially invalid items in the inventory, and others. The full notes can be found here.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is, without a doubt, one of the best role-playing games released in the past few years and a more than worthy continuation of the series. The excellent story and characters, engaging tactical combat system, and extremely dynamic world make it a game that is worth playing despite some issues that are getting addressed with post-launch patches, as I highlighted in my review.
With its engaging story, charming characters, extremely dynamic world that constantly reacts and adapts to the player’s actions and choice and a solid tactical combat system, Baldur’s Gate 3 is among the best cRPGs ever released. A wonky interface, the lack of some quality-of-life features and Larian Studios’ trademark save scumming design impact the experience, but they’re only minor issues that don’t take away too much from the whole experience. After years in development, Baldur’s Gate 3 definitely exceeded all expectations, and in the best possible way.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is now available on PC and PlayStation 5 worldwide. The game will launch on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S before the end of the year.
