Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix #11 – Kissing and Crashing

Hotfix #11 for Baldur’s Gate 3 went live today, bringing with it a relatively small list of fixes to clear out some edge-case bugs and crashes. While patching several crashes and permanent freezes that can occur at specific times is probably the most important change made this time around, the most interesting are the several fixes for romantic scenes, including one involving Gale and another involving Wyll and Minthara (no, we didn’t know that was a thing).

There are a couple other changes from Hotfix #11 for Baldur’s Gate 3 as well, so let’s go over the full list. Beware some minor spoilers:

Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix #11 Change List

• You can now use soaps encountered in savegames before Patch 4.
• Fixed the game sometimes freezing indefinitely after a reaction to a spell that hits you with multiple projectiles.
• Fixed a crash after using a reaction that causes an attack against a dead creature.
• Fixed an issue causing you to get stuck in certain dialogues unable to continue.
• Fixed a blocker that could occur when trying to Long Rest.
• Dominated followers will now follow the party as expected after loading a savegame.
• Fixed Gale’s romance scene playing in what looks like a black void.
• Fixed a Dark Urge flashback accidentally teleporting you to the Lower City.
• The Cursed Skulls in Jannath’s Estate are now vulnerable to Force and Radiant damage.
• Fixed an issue that prevented certain characters from executing their behaviours.
• Fixed citizens and refugees in Baldur’s Gate sometimes jittering about the place or not using their proper animations.
• Fixed some visual artefacts appearing at camp in relation to Dark Urge and Karlach dialogues. This also solved the bloodstain under Alfira suddenly becoming larger after loading a savegame.
• Wyll and Minthara should now properly kiss a second time without the need to retrigger the dialogue.
• Fixed an issue where a companion’s camp night dialogue could be replaced by a different dialogue that couldn’t trigger during a previous night.

In addition to the above changes, Larian also mentioned that they are working on a patch for a kissing scene involving Astarion. I guess romantic troubles must be common in Faerûn. Glad some of them have been resolved at least.
