Baldur’s Gate III – Hotfix #22 Live

The latest early access hotfix for Baldur’s Gate III fixes a number of bugs and crashes. More importantly, it also deals with a number of annoying glitches that could turn a bunch of the game’s NPCs hostile to you for no good reason. Here’s the changelog:

Hello everyone,

We’re back with a new hotfix for you today, looking at multiple crashes, bugs, and pesky glitches.

Have you ever turned up at a party and felt like an uninvited guest? Well, for some of you, the Druid Grove was that party. And that uninvited guest? Well, you. An unusual glitch was making characters back at the Grove hostile towards characters that have been to the Zhentarim Hideout – recognising them as both ‘criminals’ and ‘trespassers’ upon their return to the Grove. We’ve put in a polite word with the druids, or at least talked with the animals in our local petting zoo, and they should be a little more understanding now.

As ever, thank you so much for reporting these issues to us via all our usual channels – we always welcome your feedback as we forge this adventure together. Thank you for playing Baldur’s Gate 3.
