Larian Studios has deployed Baldur’s Gate 3 patch 22 across all platforms, which resolves several crashing issues, and more.
The new patch is a minor one, but it does seem to address some annoying blocking and crashing issues alongside several bug fixes for Minthara. In addition, this new hotfix fixes an issue where a legacy dialogue flow had been enabled unintentionally while carrying out fixes for Minthara. In turn, this caused some players to see a certain unwanted dialogue.
Not only does this hotfix include fixes bug crashes and blockers, but it also includes hotfixes #20 and #21 for Xbox players. This should address reported cross-saving issues on Microsoft’s platform. “There’s good news for Xbox players, too!”, the development team writes. “Today’s hotfix also brings both Hotfixes #20 and #21 to your platform, which means issues with cross-saves should now be resolved. Thank you again for your patience while we worked to fix the issue, and we’re sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused you (and your saves!).”

Baldur’s Gate 3 is available worldwide now for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Here’s what we wrote about Larian’s masterpiece in our launch review last year:
“When it comes to presentation, Baldur’s Gate 3 delivers as much as it does with its gameplay. The game’s high production values are evident from every single visual element: character models are extremely detailed, cutscene direction and facial animations are great, giving the adventure a far more cinematic feel than any other cRPGs, and locations are vibrant. Audio production is just as polished, with each dialogue in the game being voice-acted, something very few RPGs as massive as this can boast of.”
“Performance is extremely solid as well, as I have no trouble running the game at 4K resolution, DLSS quality preset at an average of 90 FPS on my system (i7-10700 CPU, RTX 3070 GPU, 16 GB RAM). The game also features a huge selection of graphics settings to tweak, which are presented in the menu with pictures highlighting how each setting impacts the visuals so as to help players strike a decent balance between visual quality and performance. The game also supports AMD FSR, though only version 1.0 at launch (FSR 2 is coming soon), so even those without an NVIDIA RTX GPU have an upscaling option at their disposal.”
