Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix: Compression, Characters, and Cool Updates! 🎮
Larian Studios has released hotfix 17 for Baldur's Gate 3, featuring performance improvements and calming Gale's temper.
The latest Baldur’s Gate 3 update shakes things up for a fan-favorite character.
Game Of The Year, Baldur’s Gate 3, has recently released a hotfix to address various issues within the game. Alongside some important updates, one of the game’s popular characters has undergone a significant change. So, let’s dive into the details and see what’s new in the world of Baldur’s Gate 3!
Fixing Save Files – Small but Mighty! 💾
The biggest concern for Xbox users since the game’s launch has been the stability of save files. Many players have experienced the frustration of losing hours of progress due to firmware issues and excessively large save files. The good news is that the hotfix has significantly improved the compression of save files, tackling these issues head-on. Imagine save files shrinking down like clothes in the dryer!
To further optimize the size of save files, Larian Studio, the game’s developers, removed summoned elements from the world that no longer exist. This clever move reduces file size and frees up valuable space on your system. However, we are yet to see the extent of these changes and how they will affect players in practice. It’s like Marie Kondo rearranging the clutter in your digital closet!
Hotfix Bonanza! 🛠️
The hotfix doesn’t stop at save files, it also addresses some other minor issues that have been annoying players. 🐛 A camera bug and an issue with inaccessible Thieves’ Tools have been successfully resolved. But that’s not all! Larian Studio has also fixed a bug where characters would get “stuck in a story event” and become uncontrollable after dying in a fight with Grym. Hooray for bug squashing!
👀 What About Gale?
Among the intriguing changes in the update, one that has caught the attention of players revolves around Gale, the beloved wizard-with-issues. Previously, if players were unable to immediately meet Gale’s demands, he would flounce off and permanently leave the party. However, thanks to the hotfix, Gale has developed a bit more understanding and patience. He has had a heart-to-heart chat with his companions (the developers) and come to realize that not receiving a shoe to eat every time doesn’t mean he’ll never get one! So, you’ll find him more likely to stick around now. 😄
