Hello everyone,

We’ve got another hotfix for you today, fixing multiple bugs, crashes and visual issues.

Have your companions taken to weighing you down physically as well as emotionally? We looked into your reports and have restored their Patch 2 behaviour. When dismissed, they will no longer give you all the items they deem important for you to carry, like a toddler in a grocery store.

More importantly, we shaved His Majesty.

Thank you for reporting these issues to us. If you have any bugs to report, please reach out to our support team. Thank you for playing Baldur’s Gate 3.

CHANGES
  • Companions will no longer transfer story items in their inventory to the player upon dismissal, restoring Patch 2 behaviour.
  • Fixed reaction popups sometimes showing no text descriptions of the reactions available.
  • Fixed a multiplayer crash that would occur when listening to a dialogue after an active roll.
  • Eavesdrop will no longer trigger when a character is in any Character Creation session, such as level up or the magic mirror.
  • Fixed a bug in Vulkan causing DEVICE_LOST crashes.
  • Fixed a bug where Skeletons created using Animate Dead were missing their ranged weapons, despite specialising in them.
  • Fixed an issue where the Weapon Master Feat would show as incomplete if a player was already proficient with all weapons.
  • Fixed a crash when re-assigning characters in splitscreen.
  • Fixed a visual issue with volumetric fog and materials generation.
  • Fixed an issue with invalid savegames being created.
  • Restored Raphael's hair colour and horns. The House of Hope is once again fashion-forward.
  • Fixed an issue where Splint Armour for Githyanki Females caused some unnecessarily psychedelic visual effects.
  • Shaved His Majesty, who is once again a Sphynx. Steelclaw's eye colour has been adjusted so they are no longer identical twins.
  • Fixed Raphael's portraits after restoring his hair colour. Maybe he's born with it, maybe it's Avernus.
  • Fixed Twitch drops not being claimable on PS5.

Thank you for all the hard work! Any word on the bug that makes the game crash when you try to go to the Lower City?
Keep up the good work and a big thank you to the entire team!

As much as the continued hotfixes are appreciated, is shaving His Majesty and giving Raphael his brown hair once again really the priority here? So many are suffering bugs which makes some quests, etc, unable to be completed, but the focus is on aesthetics? Really? It's very frustrating to continue to see only aesthetic fixes when so many cutscenes and quests are bugged. I understand that these little cosmetic rollbacks are way easier though.

That said, thank you for an amazing game and keep pushing out those fixes, PLEASE!

It's quite beautiful seeing community feedback taken to heart. Even though I personally had nothing to say about Raphael or the cat changes, it's still wonderful to see that sometimes things will be reverted due to community feedback because some character appearances have become quite iconic by now.

Also nice work on reverting the companion inventory thingy grin

I simply must speak for a vast number of us players for which the game is NOT TOO EASY. Many of us that love this game with all of our hearts are NOT GAMERS. That would include me. I am on the easiest level and and HOPING that I will actually be able to "beat" this game. I realize that for actual gamers that this is too easy for them. But please don't forget those of us that simply do not posses the same skill level as those that have such superior skills compared to folks like me. I will attempt "balanced" difficulty IF I can beat this level. There are battles that I have had to play multiple times to finally defeat the opponents. That also follows looking up info on the internet to seek some helpful advice.

I cannot thank Larian enough for making this new Baldur's Gate version. I was a BG1 player when it was brand new. The very first game that I actually paid money for. Don't mistake that I am a young person. ATM I am 61 years old. Have spent countless thousands of hours playing video games. I have 2 sons. Once they reached a certain age I could no longer compete with their skills. Just a simple fact that I have to accept that I am not great at playing video games. This is one that that was worth waiting for! Thank you thank you thank you Larian.

If you could calm down the sexual advances that would be wonderful. Not requesting to remove romancing just back off the aggressiveness of the likes of Astarion, Gale and Halsin. My goodness - how many times must I rebuff their advances. And the Emperor? What could I have possibly done to lead him on? Just being a nice and comforting person is more than enough to have him all excited. Hints that answers will promote romance would not be asking for too much. Remember that we are limited to the answers that you provide us. Not what we would prefer to respond with. So romance yes, such aggression - please turn it down a bit. Thanks.

If you are YouTuber Renfail. I think you should stay with that name. Because I find funny that your name is Lone Wolf what is the hardest difficulty in dos1-2.

But as you are a youtube person a little bit investigation check could not hurt.( I am just assuming from the name and the age)
Because the forum isn't so toxic here like redit or 4chan.
Noone asked to change easy and normal difficulty.
Most of us are asking for a new difficulty. And some ppl are asking to increase the difficulty for tactician.

And by the way I am 42 have two kids. Before you comment something negative. And this game is like chess.
WIsdom is coming with ages and almost all tactican leaders are old.

There are different difficulty levels you can select. I'm on the hardest and still find it way too easy. I would prefer an option to make it harder.

Two different patches and they still have not fixed the game-breaking bug that is preventing me from progressing in the Karlach quest, or the one that is causing people to crash in the lower city.

Larian, I paid money for your product and I have not been able to use it for two weeks. I understand you're trying your best but this is really fucking irritating.

Thank you for the continued hot fixes! Considering how much I saw people decrying Raphael's black hair and the cat on here, it's nice to see community feedback is listened to.

What I hope people may draw hope from is that those concerns were posted on here not nearly as much as some other concerns ie: a higher difficulty, Karlach's game-breaking bug, Lower City crashes, expanded epilogues/ending(s) etc.
But these fixes are likely more intricate than we think. A higher difficulty setting would change every encounter in the game and there are a potential hundreds. Who knows what other technical glitches the Karlach bug is causing? The Lower City crashes aren't affecting everyone (not me) so it might be a little harder to find the cause. The expanded endings/epilogues and more Act 3 polish on companions reactivity will likely not be addressed until a major patch a possible year or 2 from now.
But since this game came out only a month ago and they're still listening and responding, we really should give them more credit. They don't want to say they can fix something unless they know they can, and I guarantee they are looking into what you're saying, especially the game-breaking stuff.

Looking forward to the next big patch! Reading all the stuff you fixed in the last one made me realize what a huge undertaking improving this game actually is. Thank you, Larian!

Now bring on Patch 4 which will hopefully include fixing couch co-op to work like it did in the Divinity games.

Don't act like you don't know how many people are pissed off about this Larian. We've made our displeasure known over multiple sites about this.

Larian, there are many bugs everywhere, almost all of Astarion's scenes are broken and censorship is activated even though it has been set otherwise. I really love His Majesty but I don't think it was a priority.

After updating ambient dialogue (normal dialogue is fine) is now robotic and muffled. Anyone else experiencing this bug?

Re:Okay maybe not all normal dialogue is fine, talked to the wolves in the creche and their sounds were also affected. But it doesn't happen with my companions or humanoid NPCs so far.

Re:Re:Alright it's not even all ambient dialogue either. A conversation between my party members when entering the Inquisitor area had normal audio. But single comments from party members from observing something were garbled.

So you've fixed meaningless things like a freaking shaved cat..... But bugs like the lag because of the destroyed stone guardian turrets is still there?!?!

FFS- game is unplayable for some. How about fixing actual issues!
