Larian delays Baldur's Gate 3's patch 7 Closed Beta due to broken dice rolls
Baldur's Gate 3's upcoming Patch 7 Closed Beta has been delayed.
The start of the Closed Beta for the long-awaited Patch 7 was set to begin on July 22, but unfortunately Larian Studios has been forced to push the release back to «later this week» due to an issue with dice rolls.
«Well, the Patch 7 Closed Beta was set to begin today, but while preparing the build for you, we were once more humbled by the classic lesson taught to every game dev while playing bug-fix whack-a-mole: if you fix one bug over here, another one might still pop up over there,» Larian said in a Steam post.
The developer explained that this happened with one of the fixes it wanted to implement in Patch 7, which has caused passive rolls to stop working.
It's currently trying to figure out how to resolve the issue, but there's some good news. For those who have yet to register to take part in the beta now have extra time to do so.
Larian has also confirmed that this delay has not affected the full Patch 7 release, which is expected to roll out in September.
