Baldur’s Gate 3 recently received hotfix 21, which is now live on all platforms except Xbox. One of the key issues addressed in this update is the ability to seamlessly transfer items between companions, a feature that had become broken in recent weeks. This fix is crucial for players who enjoyed the flexibility of swapping items between party members at any time, whether they were in the party or at camp.
In addition to the item transfer system fix, hotfix 21 also addresses several other bugs and crashes present in the game. One notable fix involves Gale’s ‘bad’ ending, where the Wizard of Waterdeep blows himself up to defeat the Netherbrain. The explosion during this scene could turn the player character into a mote, rendering them unable to interact with NPCs in the epilogue scene. This bug fix is sure to bring relief to players who encountered this issue after investing hours into their playthrough.
Crash Fixes and Improvements
The update also includes new error checkers for instances when saves fail to load, as well as a fix for a crash that occurred when switching characters during character creation. Another crash fix addresses the issue that arose when transitioning between speaking to Dame Aylin and Shadowheart’s dream sequence about her childhood. These fixes aim to enhance the overall stability and performance of the game.
While hotfix 21 is now available for PC, PS5, and Mac users, Xbox Series X players may have to wait a bit longer. According to a tweet from Larian Studios, hotfixes 20 and 21 are still undergoing testing on Xbox due to a crash bug that is specific to the platform. As a result, cross-platform saves that include updates from hotfixes 20 and 21 will not be compatible with Xbox until the issues are resolved.
Larian Studios has acknowledged the inconvenience this delay may cause for Xbox players and reassured them that they are working to bring the hotfixes to the platform as soon as possible. In the meantime, players on other platforms can enjoy the improvements and bug fixes introduced in hotfix 21 to enhance their gameplay experience.
Overall, the latest hotfix for Baldur’s Gate 3 addresses critical issues related to item transfer, crashes, and bugs, providing players with a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience. With ongoing support and updates from the developers, players can look forward to more improvements and fixes in the future.
