We’ve got a small hotfix for you today, taking care of several crashes and savegame issues. We continue to look at your feedback, and are preparing additional hotfixes for issues you’ve reported. This includes an issue with shared items when dismissing companions, which we are aware of and looking into.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about these issues, and thank you for playing Baldur’s Gate 3.
CHANGES
Fixed a crash that would occur when listening in on some dialogues during a multiplayer session.
Fixed crashes caused by corrupted item stacks that could occur when unloading a level or moving to a new region.
Fixed a savegame issue when loading into a new region while Withers' Wardrobe was still loaded in an old region.
Fixed a crash that would occur when loading savegames with potentially invalid items in the inventory.
Fixed a savegame issue relating to traps.
Removed duplicated characters and items caused by items being taken across two different cached levels.
Fixed the preview for the text background option not changing height after you reduce the Dialogue Text Size.
Can't wait for mod support or the option to revert to previous versions of this game on Steam.
I'd like to resume playing the game as it was on launch day, before Larian started patching it and removing features that I paid for (such as being able to recruit all companions in the same playthrough).
I can't stand the way some developers enforce their changes on players in single player games AFTER the trial window has elapsed, scamming players out of a refund.
Your update deleted all of my save files and I am unable to download the save files from my cloud now. Do not download the update if you want to finish your game. I lost 40 hours of gameplay to this update. I think I will ask for my money back if I can’t have reliable saving. It’s not the kind of game you can just start over
Good luck with that. Hopefully you are still within the two week window, unlike me. Larian games should have a major warning on them:
I give a thx to. I appreciate the change of wind. The last two patch notes was posted on the official forum and site first. And not ever where else. So big thumbs up.
Really nice update. But u guys fix the people running away from the animals spawned by the beastmaster. I really annoying to run after a critical NPC to complete or progress a quest. Here is an example trying to speak with Valeria to progress the murder quest. ( ). Thnx and keep u the nice work.
Don't worry the don't afraid from Vecna any more:) Ppl in baldur's gate are beating zombies and paying for it. Making Optimus Prime fan clubs. But they are afraid of animals. Make a lot of sense.

Nothing regarding Dammon in Act 2 or the savegame issue related to talking to traders?
What is wrong with Dammon? I heard tha ttoday on reddit, that he is bugged. The Karlach quest proceeded normally for me though.
I think he means the bug with the Strange Ox running amok and killing Dammon thus wrecking the Karlach quest.
Is that a bug? I think it's more a case of action - consequences. You have to really try to make the strange Ox mad enough to attack and he gives several warnings.

This is nothing to do with attacking the ox. It triggers when you arrive at Last Light. You get put into TB mode but the ox doesn't so it kills Dammon before you can get near enough to stop it.
hopefully the next hotfix comes soon with fixing the ox and dammon situation at the inn, first and second playthroughs i had no issues with the ox (didnt kill it as some suggested at the emerald grove) i did fight it in one of those play throughs at the inn, sucks that this locks you out of karlachs quest
Woudl it be possible for you to fix core mechanic of resistances in game? They dont work properly if you have resistance adn then get status that says "vuln". You still get half dmaage despite of what staus says. It's same case for enemies. Vuln status is fake if someoen had resitance beforehand.
I'm having issues after this recent hotfix/update. I have never entered Act 3 but I can only speculate that it's due to a recent update. I cannot get my game to progress from Act 2 to Act 3. I have updated every aspect of my computer and it has run flawlessly for the 101 hours that Steam says I have logged without any issues. I have switched settings. I have run the game in Dx11 and Vulcan. I have verified my files multiple times and uninstalled to reinstall then to come back to the same issue. It will load both cutscenes fine and then when it's loading to initiate Act 3, I crash. When I hit submit/send report it says 0 crash reports found. I am lost and frustrated because I want to continue playing the game. It has been a week I've been dealing with this with no answer in sight. Please help.
Getting regular lag spikes after making actions, eg Astarion shoots something, and nothing happens for several seconds before the game decides to action it. Simarly enemy actions incur lag spike where you can almost see the game thinking about what to do! Just recently have taken an action and literally nothing happened, no die roll, no damage, no miss just nothing. You see the attack message in the combat log, but nothing follows.
Graphical issues, cloud effects just non-existent, this has been happening before latest patch\hotfix. The lagspikes are most intrusive to game flow.
(playing on PS5) After getting into the lower city I am getting very annoying lag spikes, this causes the following issues:
1. Combat is slow and dull, I perform an action and it takes a good time for it to do. 2. Counterspell no longer works! It activates after the action and doesn't stop the spell in its tracks. 3. Bonuses no longer work in skill checks. I select what bonuses to add, press triangle and then the roll proceeds without the bonuses.
Hopefully all of this is fixed soon, I will be holding off on playing until these are adressed.
I wish we could have an estimate on the next fix. Just about to delete the game and move on.... But if I knew the fix was a week or 2 etc then at least I could plan to start playing again once it's fixed. Just getting frustrated with it to the point of giving up on principle. So sad.
Please fix the gamebreaking bug related to fast travelling/entering the Lower City in Act 3. Me and hundreds of other players (a least) are unable to progress in their games because of it.
