Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Hotfix 3 Patch Notes: Crash fixes, gameplay, script improvements, and more Larian StudiosThe latest patch notes for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 are here, and the update makes plenty of little changes to gameplay, cinematics, and the game\u2019s overall flow. In a game as massive as Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, it\u2019s no surprise that some things still need fine-tuning post-launch. Nearly three years in early access certainly worked wonders, but there are bound to be some issues that need sorting out. While there are certainly bigger patches and more substantial changes coming, the latest Hotfix makes lots of smaller improvements to smooth out the overall gameplay experience. Here\u2019s everything Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Hotfix 3 changes. What\u2019s changed in the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Hotfix 3 Patch Notes The most important part of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Hotfix 3 are its bug fixes, especially when it comes to issues that caused the game to crash. For example, some players encountered an issue with spell slots that kept them from leveling up when multiclassing, and others taking advantage of cross-saves would get stuck syncing, making saving and loading impossible. These problems, along with others, have now been dealt with. While there\u2019s nothing that really stands out as much as Hotfix 2\u2019s fixes to character\u2019s genitals and underwear, there are still some things players may find amusing, such as the companion Wyll no longer speaking about his father as though he\u2019s dead when he\u2019s been saved, or players not being able to get away with a crime because someone else has committed a bigger crime.
