Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix #1 is out now, fixing up several bugs and crashes
Just one day after the official release of Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian Studios released Hotfix #1 for the RPG. This update officially brings the version number of BG3 to 4.1.1.3624901. The hotfix focuses on bug fixes, performance updates, and preventing crashes and progression blockers.
The hotfix takes aim at some particular sections of the massive RPG, just after its big launch yesterday. Hotfix #1 for Baldur’s Gate 3 hits some dialogue hitches and crashes, as well as multiplayer quirks and more. Notably, it also addresses a dice rolling issue, where fast and furious re-attempts would result in failure.
Furthermore, Larian has found the origin of the pesky issue that has been affecting saves. Apparently, the culprit had to do with cross-saves with the PlayStation 5 version of the game. Because the PS5 version doesn’t launch until September 6, Larian has disabled the cross-saving system for now to prevent the issue and will fix it later. (This shouldn’t affect in-game or Steam Cloud saves.)
Also, some of the patch notes contain spoilers which we have chosen to omit for now. If you want to see the full patch notes including spoilers, you can do so here. For the rest, here are the Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix#1 patch notes for the August 4 update.
