Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix rolled back, so hold onto your saves
The latest Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix has been temporarily rolled back by developer Larian Studios, and it’s unfortunate news for the most eager players among us. Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix 4 was deployed on Wednesday, August 16, and fixes some annoying multiplayer problems as well as improving some of the tougher combat sequences in the RPG game. Sadly, the update has been temporarily pulled due to “unexpected issues” and, while you can still play, your saves may be stuck in limbo until the Baldur’s Gate 3 patch returns.
As our glowing Baldur’s Gate 3 review suggests, there’s an awful lot to keep you coming back to the fantasy realm. However, if you’ve been particularly eager about your playtime, you might actually have to make your toughest choice yet. “Due to a build error causing new crashes, we’ve rolled back hotfix 4 for the time being,” Larian Studios reports via Twitter. The studio says “we’ll re-release it as soon as we’ve fixed the cause.”
The good news is that you’ll still be able to keep playing on the game’s third hotfix, so you won’t be waiting to find out what happens next in all those Baldur’s Gate 3 quests. However, those of you who have played and saved the game will face a fork in the road. “If you’ve saved since updating, you won’t be able to load those saves until we’ve re-published hotfix 4,” Larian confirms, adding that it is “sorry about the inconvenience.”
