Baldur's Gate 3 Dev Tracker

Hello Everyone!

It's been a few days since we released Patch 5 into the world and it's been awesome to see so many of you jumping back into the game to experience the latest changes!

In today's hotfix we've addressed some crashing issues, fixed an issue with disappearing UI when long resting in multiplayer and we've addressed some issues with tooltips, along with a bunch of other fixes.
