Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Latest News Hotfix #22 Now Live! Version Number: 4.1.1.4905117

Hello everyone,

We’re rolling out another small hotfix on all platforms today that takes care of a couple of crashes and blockers, as well as a couple of bug fixes for Minthara, so hopefully now she’ll stop spilling the beans.

We’ve also fixed an issue where a legacy dialogue flow had been enabled unintentionally while carrying out fixes for Minthara, which meant that some players had been able to view dialogue where Minthara would seemingly end a relationship with Dark Urge players if they had resisted their urges and made a certain choice in Act III.

There’s good news for Xbox players, too! 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!).

If you’re experiencing any issues after installing this latest hotfix, please check whether the issue still persists with all mods uninstalled. If you continue to experience this issue after uninstalling mods, please contact our support team and submit a full report to help us solve your issue.

We continue to work on further fixes and patches, but in the meantime, thank you for playing Baldur’s Gate 3!

CRASHES AND BLOCKERS

• Fixed a crash caused by the game trying to access the duration of a condition on a character with no conditions set.
• Fixed conditions sometimes trying to get their duration from the source entity instead of the target entity.
• Fixed some potential internal crashes on Xbox when suspending the game (e.g. when suspending the console or loading another game), causing it to reboot when you went back to it.

UI

• Improved the messaging for syncing and cross-saving by indicating when a cross-save sync has failed and adding an option to try again. Also prevented the saving and cross-saving messages from appearing for secondary local players.
• Voice chat will no longer overlap the minimap on split-screen.
• Fixed the 'Another Player Is Joining' pop-up not triggering while the host has a panel open on Xbox, potentially preventing the client from joining.

SCRIPTING

• Fixed an issue where legacy dialogue had been enabled unintentionally as part of another line of fixes, in which Minthara would seemingly end a relationship with
  Dark Urge players who had rejected Bhaal.
• Made Minthara promise to stop repeating her thoughts about Gale in Act III.
• Fixed a bug causing you to get perpetually stuck in a dangerous area if you triggered hostilities in the Emerald Grove and then left while it was still a dangerous area.
• Fixed a rare issue where dialogues would end suddenly when you went to kiss your romantic partner.
• Fixed a bug causing you to get stuck in combat with the enemies on top of Moonrise Towers if you found a way to sneak into the
  Mind Flayer Colony.

Does this fix the horrible Mac OS performance introduced by hotfix #21? I don't see any mention of it in the notes above.

Does not appear to have fixed the Mac gameplay and graphics issues that were introduced in Hotfix 21.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for fixing up Minthara further, this is great news!

Cant begin to express how happy hotfix 22 turned me, this is a good step going forward!

It's great that new hotfixes are coming out and some bugs are being fixed, but I'd really like to ask Larian to address the need to fix Ascended Astarion's kissing animations. Right now these animations are traumatizing content without warning. Journalists have already paid attention to this problem - GamePro magazine published an article: "Neue Astarion-Küsse in Baldu...end auf Fans und das ist der Grund"" (translated into English: "New Astarion kisses in Baldur's Gate 3 have a disturbing effect on fans and here's why"). The article came out with a warning.

This warning is usually given when content has been peer-reviewed. Please, dear developers, pay attention to this and remove content that traumatizes people from the game.

Valid point. I second this. My suggestion would be to make it as consensual as with Abdirak's lewdness. In general try to make Astarion more dominant by increasing his hedonism (leaning on Sorin Markov's background) instead of his cruelty. It also allows his basic manipulative attitude to shine through better, despite his new dominant nature.

I agree too. Need to fix Tav's face and body language in new
Ascended Astarion's kisses.
Now this is traumatizing people. Pay attention please.

So whats up with GoG patch "Release 6 Hotfix 5 4.1.1.4900808" ?

Is that a non-existent Hotfix ?!?

Because Hotfix 21 was GoG patch "Release 6 Hotfix 4 4.1.1.4890942".

The chaos happily continues.

it was a small repair of hotfix 21 that Larian released about 2mins after 21 only on PC [Steam and Gog] to test if they could fix their mistake and the test worked so now you have hotfix 22 which repairs cross save server issue on Steam only... not Gog but the good news is this one brings everyone back to the same build for muliplayer
