Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch #1 Is Out, Fixes 1K Bugs; Patch #2 Coming Soon with Big Performance Improvements
After a series of quick hotfixes, Larian Studios has finally released the first proper Baldur's Gate 3 patch.
Baldur's Gate 3 patch #1 weighs around 2.18GB and includes over a thousand bug fixes, not to mention many balancing and flow improvements. Here's a highlight of the balance tweaks:
Some of the bug fixes delivered by Baldur's Gate 3 Patch #1 include NPCs now being unable to spot you when they really shouldn’t be able to, floating items now abiding by the laws of gravity, and the conclusion to Shadowheart's romance scene now properly triggering for everyone. Moreover, kissing contact in cutscenes has been improved for short races.
Even more interesting is that Larian says Baldur's Gate 3 Patch #2 is 'around the corner' and will feature 'significant' performance improvements. It would be especially welcome if they tackle the CPU optimization or lack thereof that is most noticeable during Act 3. Meanwhile, Larian shared some updated player engagement figures. Users have played over 200 million hours of the game since launch, translating to around 22K years.
In other Baldur's Gate 3 news, Larian CEO Swen Vincke announced a few hours ago that the game will ship to Xbox Series S and X this year thanks to Microsoft's concession to remove the split-screen co-op feature from the Series S version.
