[2022] Hotfix #28 Now Live!

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

Hello everyone,

We’ve got another Hotfix for you, taking care of several crashes, blockers and visual bugs. We understand that Lae’zel is hard to please by nature, but it seems that she’s been more prone to tantrums since our previous Hotfix. We’ve explained party dynamics to her, which she didn’t really enjoy, but understands that she shouldn’t randomly stop following the player now.

Thank you for taking the time to report these issues to us, and thank you for playing Baldur’s Gate 3!

CRASHES & BLOCKERS

• Fixed an issue where Lae’zel would stop following the player after going to camp when loading a previous Patch 8 savegame in Hotfix 27
  
• Fixed a Vulkan-specific crash that would occur during Bibberbang explosions
  
• Fixed Swarm AI not jumping in cases where their jump end position is blocked by another swarm member
  
• Fixed crashes that would potentially occur during large combat scenarios
  
• Fixed crashes that would potentially occur in Multiplayer combat when the player hovers the cursor over items or certain characters
  
• Fixed a crash that would potentially occur in Multiplayer when joining if the host was in character creation

VISUAL BUGS

• Fixed missing VFX in Plea at the Gates cinematic
  
• Fixed camera in the cinematic relating to Connor’s resurrection
  
• Fixed the antidote bottle clipping through the player’s mouth if playing as smaller races
  
• Fixed the camera zooming out beyond normal limits when attacking in combat

Hey everyone,

Another small hotfix for all platforms is coming your way today! Hotfix #28 addresses a few crashes and blockers, integrates a handful of gameplay bug fixes, and resolves some issues with the Mod Manager.

This hotfix also fixes an issue with multiplayer, where some players were getting caught in an enable–disable loop in the Mod Verification Window when trying to disable a mod that the host doesn't have.

MODDING

• On PS5, the 'Continue' button will now work the same as the 'Load Game' screen in that it won't allow you to start a game if there are any mod issues.
  
• On console, when loading a savegame that has unresolved mod issues, the Mod Verification Window will no longer keep asking you to re-download or uninstall mods when the action has already been taken.
  
• Resolved an issue with mod dependencies not being loaded in the correct order after enabling/disabling some mods.

Mod Manager

• Fixed the animated downloading bar not appearing in the Mod Verification Window after you click 'Download'.
  
• Fixed the horizontal scrollbar on the Mod Details page not being vertically centred between the arrows that flank it.
  
• Fixed a bug preventing you from opening the Mod Manager on PC when using a controller.
  
• Fixed the button prompts in the Mod Details page not updating correctly when using a controller.
  
• Fixed the filter tags in the Mod Manager not appearing in localised languages and made sure that the English string is shown as a backup in case there's an issue with fetching the translation.
  
• The mod browser scrollbar now resets to the top when you navigate to a previous or next page.
  
• On PS5, the Mod Manager now correctly reports the amount of remaining memory after uninstalling a mod.
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur when changing pages in the Mod Manager.
  
• Fixed clients on a multiplayer game getting caught in an enable–disable loop in the Mod Verification Window when trying to disable a mod that the host doesn't have.
  
• Updated the 'Explicit Content' filter's name to 'Mature Content'.
  
• Updated the name of the Mod Issues window to 'Mod Verification Window' to more accurately reflect what the window is for, and updated its description.

GAME Gameplay

• Improved loading times for players with many mods installed.
  
• You can no longer add items to your wares even if they cannot become wares (e.g. pact weapons) by selecting them along with another item that can become a ware. This prevents a trade exploit where you could sell your wares and the bound items would not leave your inventory. Any more of these up your sleeves?
  
• Fixed Honour Mode features, like Legendary Actions, carrying over to non-Honour-Mode games if you'd previously loaded an Honour Mode save.
  
• On PS5, fixed the DualSense lightbar updating colours every single frame of the game when a new user logs in with a new controller.
  
• Resolved an issue with Wyll opting for negative greeting nodes even when he does like you.
  
• Fixed the character models becoming offset in the Trade UI when switching between trade and barter when using a controller.

Crashes and Blockers

• Fixed a crash when trying to load into a playthrough rather than a particular savegame within that playthrough.
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur when loading a savegame.
  
• On PS5, fixed a potential crash when going full disco on the DualSense lightbar.
