Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Latest News Hotfix #20 Now Live! Version Number: v4.1.1.4854838

As someone who actually waited to play the Definitive Editions of both Divinity: Original Sin and Original Sin II, I applaud Larian’s excellent and thorough long-term support for their games.

But to quote Shadowheart with regards to a possible Definitive Edition of BG3: “We’ve got a long road ahead of us still.”

I did speculate modding support would drop with the "Definitive edition" of the game. So I wouldn't be surprised if Larian goes with that approach.

Since they mentioned modding will be added in the somewhat near future, but still a way’s off from now, it does make sense to include it with a potential Definitive Edition update to the game.

Maybe schedule it to celebrate the 1-year anniversary of the official launch?

I prefer 'realistic'. All video games are 'complex'. What makes BG3 an exceptional case in terms of AAA releases? Saying that BG3 is 'complex' is something of a mantra on this forum yet no one, to my knowledge, has ever defined 'complex' or explained why BG3 is different. Certainly no one who is qualified.

The word 'eventually' is doing a lot of heavy-lifting there.
The Witcher? What had Larian to do with the Witcher? The DOS games were years ago and much less 'complex'.

Historically they were a smaller company and not paying American rents.

Patches and fixes are expected during EA, that is one of the primary reasons for doing an EA version. Major patches and and hotfixes to fix patches six months and counting after release are not.
Their past record of pushing out quality releases? When was the last time they released anything, or how often have they released anything in the last, say, five years?

Have you actually read the letter or are you just parroting what you read on social media?

So let me see if I have the right of this. You are saying that you are qualified to say what the general public does and does not understand and that you are somehow are qualified to make statements about how much effort Larian will be putting in long-term.

Ditto that…it’s been 3 weeks and I still have not been able to do anything within the lower city as my PlayStation crashes every single time. I’ve tried literally every suggested fix frown

Thanks for the hotfix. Well Minthara still have bug in event dialog for example: then you fix Karlach heart, in previous version she told about it (and can give you point of approval), but after the patch, and hotfix 19, and this hotfix, she talk about prince and emperor, and she talk about it in all event, no matter what will you do. So yes, some of the problems were solved, but others appeared instead, i hope this will be solved

Thanks this hot fix fixed my game crashing every 15mins. Now it crashes about once every 3 hours or so. Much better!

After the murder of Yurgir and Raphael’s conversation with Astarion about ritual, Mintara talks about the Emperor in this way.

Any idea when this fix is coming to Xbox? My game is saying it's still on v4.1.1.4811634. I've tried restarting my Xbox numerous times and have looked to see if an update is available, but it doesn't show that there is.

Hi, i've a bit of a problem. I streamed the Steam game from my pc to the TV via Xbox Series X / Sunshine), so that we can play with my wife who cannot sit for a long time in front of a gaming pc.
We bought two licences on Steam to play together and ended up playing on the same Steam license on split screen TV which is the best thing that happened to a recent game in terms of playing from the comfort of our living room.
The use of Sunshine on the Xbox is really a pain with lots of disconnections and sometimes graphical bugs. It is really irritating to launch with the lost of focus due to the Larian account manager that launches prior to the game.
When it works, though, the game really is a marvel with no input lag on Series X and full 4K (without HDR because my PC screen cannot do that).
So I bought a third licence from microsoft website at full price, in order to play on Xbox Series X natively, though we only we need one amongst the 3 licences bought.

Now we can't play our savegame because the hotfix doesn't roll on Xbox at the same rate as on PC so our savegames are visible after connecting to Larian account but there are only ten of them and not the 30 last ones, where one could have been on the right version we used on steam.

Could you upgrade Xbox at the same rate as Steam so that the 50+ hours cross save work and I can play together with my wife please ? It's been 2 weeks we cannot play and I think we really paid our price for the game now.

I explained on Reddit here the problems with the versions :

"I have the same problem.
I just bought it on Xbox cause streaming from my pc to the Xbox via Moonlight was good when it worked but a real pain just to launch.

I bought it the exact weekend they delivered a patch on pc and not on Xbox.

So it's been a week i can't play on my Xbox my 50hours+ save with my wife.
There are only 10 saves, so i can't even launch old saves on the old version on the Xbox, although i'm absolutely sure i have savegames on this exact version.

They should let us have on cross save 10 normal saves and 10 quicksaves if they want to force a certain amount of saves.
That way, i could probably have launched one of my oldest normal saves with the Xbox version. Now, it's been a full week.

Please Larian, release 4.1.1.4854838 on Xbox. Game manager on Xbox says version 1.6.2.0 and doesn't offer to download a 1.6.2.1 or something else."

And I would add : please do the same each hotfix, or we won't be the only one encountering the problems. Is it a problem with how Microsoft releases yout hotfix ? Perhaps it is not in your hands after all ? And how can i go around this problem ?

Thanks in advance.
Greetings from your neighbours in France.

Same issue. I normally play BG3 on Steam and Xbox, but for the last couple weeks I have been unable to play on my Xbox because of incompatible game saves. If I was just playing on the Xbox it wouldn't be a big deal. I would still be able to play, I'd just be on an older version. But... as soon as the Steam client was updated as the Xbox wasn't I am stuck only playing Steam.

Is there any eta on when Hotfix 20 and 21 will be applied to the Xbox?

Thanks

Same here, I started a whole new campaign on Xbox because my save on Steam is not compatible. This the second or third time Xbox has lagged behind on patches. Is the development platform for Xbox so different from PS5 and PC?
