Baldur’s Gate 3 is a popular role-playing game developed and published by Larian Studios and the latest Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch Notes was just released. The game marks the third installment in the popular video game series and was released back in August 2023 across multiple platforms. Baldur’s Gate 3 has gone on to win the Game of the Year Award 2023 and since its release, it has received multiple patches and updates that addressed various bugs and included numerous game fixes and quality-of-life improvements.
Why Are Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch Notes Important
Back in the early days of the video game industry, once a video game got shipped out, that was it, there was no way to alter the game, fix any issues it may have had, or even add new content.
Those days are now behind us, and while there are some drawbacks, there is no denying that being able to add additional content to the game after its official release and fix any potential issues is a blessing for both developers and players alike. With that said, here is a full list of changes and additions made by the latest Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch Notes.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch Notes – Full List
PERFORMANCE AND CODE
- Fixed black and colorful visual artifacts sometimes appearing for 1 frame on PS5 when switching scenes or opening and closing UI windows.
- Increased the compression of savegames, which should fix several issues caused by large savegame files.
- Reduced the size of save files by removing summons that don’t exist in the game anymore.
- Guarded against crashes caused when certain character resources (Actions, Bonus Actions, Superiority Dice, etc.) were added and later removed by a mod or cheat engine.
GAMEPLAY AND COMBAT
- In Honour Mode, the aura of Cazador’s Potent Mist Form now properly dissipates after he’s no longer in Mist Form. Sorry!
- Fixed the camera sometimes zooming in while jumping or casting projectile spells.
- Fixed the ability to walk through open doors when you click beyond them from far away.
- Fixed Thieves’ Tools in the camp chest or inventory of a companion who is waiting at camp not being accessible when lockpicking.
UI
- Safeguard Shield’s Saving Throw modifier is now correctly reflected on the Character Sheet.
FLOW AND SCRIPTING
- Gale will no longer permanently leave the party if you don’t offer him any magic items while talking to him – unless you’re abundantly clear that you don’t plan on ever doing so.
- Fixed characters getting stuck ‘in a story event’, preventing you from controlling them, after getting killed in the fight with Grym.
