Patch 5 is now live for Baldur’s Gate 3! Today’s patch is our most feature-filled update yet, and we’ve prepared a special Community Update to really do it justice. For a deep dive into Patch 5, head here.
This update brings brand new epilogues, new game modes and much more - including improved inventory access. No more recruiting and dismissing party members to get ahold of that clown corpse they’ve been holding on to for you. Thanks, Karlach!
Please note that with new patches, some installed mods may become temporarily incompatible. If you experience any issues after installing Patch 5, please check if the issue persists with all mods uninstalled. If it persists, please reach out to our support team with your report.
Without further ado, here are your Patch 5 highlights. Thank you for all your feedback, and thank you for playing Baldur’s Gate 3.

Aw, Minthara is still broken? And the knock out thing is a bit silly, I'll be honest. Still, thanks for all the hard work. I'm looking forward to future updates!
Based on promotional photos I’ve seen posted, like on Twitter, it looks like Karlach will be present at the epilogue, so I would assume that it’ll trigger if you go with her to Avernus. Only way to tell for sure is to play through it though I suppose.
Very excited about the Epilogue at the end! This is a totally stupid question, but I'm a little unclear -- when you say that the Epilogue is accessible by loading the game prior to the final fight, does that mean we finish the game, and then reload a save file right before the final fight?
I would assume that Karlach can visit the Prime Material plane, she just can't live there for a long time (or she could go to other planes where her heart isn't going to kill her.)
YUP! Good playthrough, Minthy is with us! Am so happy
Now to delete my current playthrough and start again. Even though the implementation is currently a bit raw, I'm sure Larian will flesh it out more in the future so she's not stuck with Halsin
Updste: Mac users, we're still working on Patch 5 and hope to release it soon. We'll keep you posted on further news.
FYI this forum is not showing in google so information like the Mac version being delayed is practically unfindable. Is there any major reasons that sentence can't be put in the patch notes or community update themselves?
Larian had time to whip up a filter for map markers - but no time to fix the blank/black map issue? Shall I be disgusted or just disappointed? Eh, I can do both.
So no fix for MInthara breaking romance without any reason?
she still gets it into her head that you fucked Shadowheart after dealing with Viccy... at least in a good girl romance save i loaded
it could be this new scene is supposed to lock her into her romance as a workaround but you would have to play a fresh run to ensure you get that before her romance breaks and that kind of testing takes time/ effort
Luke Skywalker: I don't, I don't believe it. Yoda: That is why you failed.
Hm...I don't get this epilogue description. I mean, what does "by loading the game prior to the final fight" actually mean? Which save exactly? In The Watch Citadel? Right before entering the boss fight? That doesn't make sense as you can't camp there. Or should I simply go through the final fight again to see this epilogue...
Also I don't like this phrase: For the writers of Larian, this “final goodbye”... because it suggests that Larian really don't plan to do any expansion, which would be really a huge bummer.
I just tried to have the epilogue and it didn't work. Tried first to reload a save DURING the last combat which is obviously not supposed to work... Then I reload prior to the final combats when I was down the brain. Doesn't work neither. I guess what they call the "final fight" is the entire Upper City... but it will take a bit more time to try this...
I managed to trigger it by loading a save AFTER the final battle (when talking to my romanced companion in private - the scene also has new animations I see).
So how do you recruit Minthara for a "Good" playthrough now?
Step One...
Knock her out at the Goblin Camp...
Step two...
...then what?
And to think I really wanted to try out the Sheep~thara exploit/method once I get to Moonrise towers. And yes, I haven't finished Act 1 yet. Procrastination FTW!

You just have to commit crime in her vicinity and then knock her out while she's temporarily hostile. Then take care of the other two Gobo bosses and GG.
Info is available here, to avoid spoilers in the patch notes thread.
Fascinating, I wonder if Larian intended for that to happen (recruiting Minthara on a good playthrough). Because it does seem like the way you’re able to recruit her in act 2 has a very specific process that few people would think of. (I.e., making her temporarily hostile by stealing.) And if she’s standing in Halsin’s tent, and doesn’t have her own… it makes me wonder. Did they create a loophole that they are going to close later?
And also SAME to there not being new kiss or hug animations, I was really excited about those as well. And feeling disappointed about it. Still, got some really nice content added.

I've never been able to... Just lost 2 hours to try everything but nothing ever happen... Just credits + whithers + main menu.

Well until now Larian has been very insistent on not letting players have Minthara and usually patched any attempts to have her. So considering that this is specifically mentioned in the patch notes now shows that they're listening and it seems to be the very first raw step to seamlessly integrate her with all the companions. The reason why she is KIA by becoming fully hostile is pretty much a script thingy, but I'm sure they'll take care of that eventually too.
They've given her to us, they can't take her back now. I won't let them take her away!
Also in case you missed it they're still working on snuggling, for all companions;
We are still actively working on improving kisses for all romanceable companions, so expect even more new animations featuring unique snogging methods for our characters. No romance partner has been forgotten! Some characters were just a little too eager to get out.
Added a profanity filter for custom map markers. You'll have to find more creative ways to label [redacted]
I’m delighted by this change, mostly because I have no idea what it refers to. How many profane markers does it take to require a filter? And players were independently coming up with the same horrid name for that one guy/thing/place? Hahahahahaha
It must be some visual! I can’t wait to meet Penis-Nose beside Diarrhea Falls! Hahahahaha
Hahahahahhhhh hhhh hhhh *cough* hahahahahaha
Seriously, this made my day.

Many of my old save files from different previous runs are no longer working. Crash on loading them. Is it just me or anyone else having the same problem?

My friends who use mods on PC were having this problem until they updated Script Extender and ExtendedUI, now all their saves load like normal.
To ensure properly triggering the epilogue we recommend loading a save
before climbing the brain stem.
(Other saves at later points in the battle could work! But the safest would be at that point)
Regarding the questions about Minthara's issue where she breaks up with the player character, the team is aware of this issue and investigating.
Just to let you know: I had save in the middle of the fight, right before
opening the portal to the brain
. It worked for me from that one. I did have bug in the epilogue though, where my Drow was recognized as Githyanki by Wyll, so the initial dialogue was referring to
my fight against the Qeen.
. Or maybe that's a hint for expansion?
Yes, please focus on Minthara because I'm afraid talking with her not to trigger this. XD
I am kind of sad this was not fixed with this patch. Equally sad is with the various other offerings why do we still not have the choice of a God for Paladins or the option to move to a D20 for initiative? They did say they where adding options to be more like table top.

I'm on PS5, so it is clearly not mod related. The crash happens at the very end of the load process, so it may not be a file corruption issue.
Oh man, this patch. The epilogue is everything the ending was missing. My heart is full now. Thank you so much - for giving hope to the characters left in bad situations, for an ample distribution of hugs, for one last game of fetch with Scratch, and most of all, continuing to pour love into this project well past its launch date. Love you guys - you're phenomenal.
It looks like the new patch broke wyll for me. PS5 user in Act 1 here. Ever since the new patch, Wyll doesn't have any voice outside the dialogues. So no dolor during eldritch blast, no party banter (only his part is unvoiced), no comments about the world. This sucks because I was looking forward to playing over the weekend but this is a dealbreaker for me, wish my game was unpatched
Edit: I found out the problem and the fix by rolling to an earlier save. Basically, the dialogues that trigger when you return from camp can cause this if the loading takes too long. So I retried and hoped that the loading time takes shorter, it works most of the time.
The epilogue party was amazing, thank you so much for this patch!
Since you're working on fixing kisses, can you also take a look at Act 1 Astarion first kiss during the sex scene? I played as a female drow with feminine body and their lips are very much not aligned. Can ascended Astarion also get a kiss during the Reunion? Everyone else seems to have hugs or kisses but not him. There is also the question of the point of no return kiss being the old chaste peck.
Another thing, can female characters attend the party wearing a robe or simply something more feminine? I love the current outfit on male charas but not on women.
I am looking forward to trying all the new changes! I do have an FYI which likely won't be helpful for everyone. None of my save game files would load after patch 5. After updating to latest display driver, all saves were working again. I suppose it is expected at this point to keep the your drivers updated but mine were barely a month old. I am just glad they work again
I am not sure if this bug is so niche that it deserves the title, but for everyone's entertainment: After being freed of the Netherese Orb by Mystra, Gale's blood is still poisonous.
Did my Origin-Astarion take a nibble of his husband? Yes? Did Withers provide any blood? No. So a slight peckishness maybe justifies such meassures?
It would be really cute though, if Origin-Astarion could actually ask his romantic partner for a little sip. After all Withers did really forget the blood.
On a more serious note: I think something isn't quite working with Astarion's romanced epilogue.
While choosing to move to the Underdark with him, is acknowledged by the initial narration of the epilogue scene, the three other outcomes in which you stay a couple all assume that you lead an adventuring life, even when you chose to settle down. Later on, when talking to Minsc, you can tell him that you and Astarion are looking for a way to cure him, no matter which choice for the future the two of you have made. Tara (I am playing Gale-Origin) and Elmister also both assume that you are adventuring, no matter which choice you previously made. When talking to Astarion himself, his dialogue is considerably shorter than that of other companions and it lacks any specific references to things the two of you did together in the past six month. It's basically only the hello and the goodbye portion of a dialogue.
Especially when comparing his romance epilogue to that of other companions, it feels like the choices made during the romance scene right after the finale aren't properly tracked.
Edit: To not come across as completely negative: I love the epilogues. The whole party is beautifully done and I love how many dialogue options acknowledge the character I have picked. I know that Origins are far less popular than Tavs and Durges, so it always warms my heart when they considered. =)
Since updating to Patch 5 on my PC, the artwork for the loading screens is low-resolution, very pixelated. Anyone else having this issue?
Yes! I thought something looked off but wasn't sure if I was imagining it. The loading screen art is definitely much lower resolution (the rest of my game is perfectly crisp.)
since installing Patch 5, i'm getting weird dialogue glitches. when Tav speaks with another character, the text of the dialogue shows at the bottom, the character model moves as if they're speaking, but no audio plays for a couple of seconds. then, the character repeats the same movements and the dialogue audio plays as normal, but the full piece of dialogue gets cut off.
The melee/ranged weapon switch option doesn't work on controllers if you don't have an action left. Was this supposed to work this way? Right now, the option disappears when you spend your action.

It's the same for Ascendant epilogue. It doesn't matter if you travel or stay in Baldur's Gate to grow your power, you still get the invitation during a masquerade you were hosting in Cazador's Palace.
"Colossus Slayer" passive for Ranger class on 3rd lvl does not work at all after the latest update. Should be like that --- "Once per turn, your weapon attack deals an extra 1d8 damage if the target is below its hit point maximum." But it doesn't work now. Bad to start Honour difficulty mode with broken passives. ----- "Colossus Slayer" passive is not working only for ranged weapons now , but for melee it still works correct .

It fixes some crashes. There's a sticky thread related to the hotfix.
Thank you for pointing this out. It looks like it was created around the same time I posted before. Really nice to see a hotfix published over the weekend!
I'm not sure if it's a bug, but... in the game where I
1) made a deal with Raphael; 2) stole the contract from him and killed him; 3) Gale gave the crown to Mistra; after the epilogue, Raphael appears and scolds the player character for giving the crown to Mistra instead of him.
But in the game with Durge, where
1) I made a deal with Raphael; 2) didn't visit House of Hope; 3) Gale exploded to destroy Nethbrain; there was no epilogue with Raphael, even though he is alive in this version
. Did the triggers work correctly in these cases?"
It created memories worth savoring, and not just closure, but a beautiful view on life.
Tav with Lae’zel destroying the servants of Vlakith, with Karlach a mind flayer leading her religion of accepting the memories of the dying. And so many beautiful memories hinted in the telling of stories from 6 months walking separate paths.
In the unsupported "I’ll just run the Windows version on wine in Linux" there were quite a few textures missing in the end (most visibly invisible dragons taking off, and sometimes parts of bodies just missing where clothes should be), but I honestly did not mind, because I was enthralled by the storytelling.
Look, maps and mini-maps worked in pre-release. You took my money, and THEN you broke it. It's been months and months, and going on a dozen patches, 'hotfixes', and countless low priority artwork, rendering, and dialogue modifications.
One more thing: it would have been kind of nice to see the Emperor at the party,
though we fought him. I took pains to only knock them unconscious, and though plunging into the water while knocked out may be kind of detrimental to life, it would have been nice nontheless. After all their assessment of the situation should have changed once the brain is defeated, so they could join the group again.
I saw Custom mode on my son's machine. This made me decide to download Patch 5. I don't expect to play in any other way than that (quasi Tactician). Thank you!

Since updating to new hotfix PS5 playthrough is impossible. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it looks like my previous saves are affected too.... I've tried a new playthrough and saved it. I tried opening those saves and it crashes nonstop. I would put a hold on downloading the hotfix if patch 5 is working unless you want to go through what so many other PS5 users are going through. I have it on PC as well and haven't had the chance to see if this works here as well but we will see.
Anyone else notice that the Proficiency tab when equipping clothing is bugged?
It works when looking at armor or weapons (I think, will need more testing), but if you use the Proficiency tab when putting on hats, shoes, or gloves, none of your inventory appears.
After updating to patch 5, when starting new game, I don't here the sound effects for each class animation or the usual,"Who are you?" or the "Choose your guardian," voice at character creation. Also, either I or an enemy attacks or casts a spell, I don't here the sound effect. Anyone else getting this bug?
When do you plan on fixing the issue with PS5 constantly crashing in Act 3 Lower City? It all started after Patch #5 and I haven't been able to play for days. If it's not fixed before the weekend (AEDT) then I want a refund. You've ruined a once great game to the point that I can't continue without crash after crash. I sincerely hope that you do poorly at Game Awards, you don't deserve any accolades with the current pile of steaming rubbish you currently have on the PS5.

I knocked out Alfira and the other bard won't show up and also it seems like other story things (Astarian biting you, Gale talking to his mirror image, Shadowheart and the relic) overshadow the dark urge seeing Scleretus Fel. I have Withers in my camp already which I thought helped trigger it. Is there a fix or will there be a fix and are others having the same issue? I'm really stuck on this one thing
I played through these scenes on PC a couple of days ago and it all worked great. Are you on PS5? You just have to long rest enough until the other scenes play out, then you should eventually get the one with the bard.
(Just save scum when Alfira pops up, go back and knock her out, then long rest and you should get the other bard).
Very much hoping for Patch 5 to come to Mac so I can play multiplayer with a friend who is on Windows. Any rough estimates on when it will be available? Before or after Christmas? Before or after New Years? If you're going to release major patches, I'd greatly appreciate if you would wait to release them until they are ready for *all* of the platforms so that multiplayer games don't get punished for unknown amounts of time. Mac players are generally understanding, we just want to know we haven't been forgotten and aren't being ignored. Being left to wonder for weeks or months on end makes Scratch and Owl Bear Cub sad!
Updste: Mac users, we're still working on Patch 5 and hope to release it soon. We'll keep you posted on further news.
Any news? Haven't heard from it in a while, I've been waiting for two weeks for an update, had to cancel 2 multiplayer-evenings with friends meanwhile, started playing another game with them. Come on, we want to be able to play again. The game is too good to wait for updates all the time ;-)
Same here. Starting a 2-player game with my boyfriend who is on PC three weeks ago and just as we were really getting into it, the update screwed us over. If you're not going to release patches simultaneously on ALL platforms, at least release them at the same time on platforms where there's cross play.
I actually bought the game twice: on Mac and then on PS5. It's ironic that I have the latest patch on PS5 but no cross play on there so I'm playing solo anyway, and not on Mac which is the version I bought exclusively so I could play with Windows users.
At least give us an update that's more specific than "We'll keep you posted."
@MetalCoco yes Gog Galaxy Mac includes the hotfix however anyone you play against on Gog Galaxy PC will need to grab to 30 mb update... it does nothing exept put you both on the same build number
@JandK its caused by having a spell caster character selected when you press [tab] so Shadowheart for example but vamp boy doesn't have any spells so the ui gets confussed... reloading isn't needed
Luke Skywalker: I don't, I don't believe it. Yoda: That is why you failed.
In our co-op sessions, the game is crashing more frequently than ever. Wow, we're thrilled to be introduced to a completely new type of error after 350 hours. great!!!
Can anyone please tell me how to switch weapon sets when using the controller? I absolutely can not find it on ps5. And have not tried to find it on PC with controller yet. Thanks!
