A Ranger character in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Larian have released a newBaldur’s Gate 3hotfix - lucky number seven - which fixes several crash bugs while also stopping characters and items cloning themselves when you move between levels, under certain conditions. Gosh, I do love patch notes for massiveRPGs. Even the relatively minor ones read like failed alchemical experiments plucked from a mage’s workshop, like the one you find behind[REDACTED]in [REDACTED] inBaldur’s Gate 3Act [REDACTED].

The hotfix followsa massive Baldur’s Gate 3 patch last weekwhich, among many other things, added a Magic Mirror to your campsite, allowing players to change their pronouns and appearance after exiting thecharactercreator. Here’s what today’s update does in detail:

  • Fixed a crash that would occur when listening in on some dialogues during a multiplayer session.

  • 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.

  • Fixed the preview for the text background option not changing height after you reduce the Dialogue Text Size.

Larian have this to say on the subject: “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.”

Less urgent requests at the time of writing range from people wanting a proper screen-merging feature in co-op, to “please make our cat bald again”, which - I don’t know. I’m assuming this concerns a feline NPC in the game and isn’t just some Xitter rando demanding that Larian give their pet a haircut, but I have learned to expect the unexpected.

Do you have any to add?

Minor but important update: I have identified the cat!
