Larian Studios Continues to Refine Baldur's Gate 3

A skeleton seems to be controlled by an unseen, larger figure. This mysterious image comes from the creative minds at Larian Studios. The developers continue to refine their massively successful Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Baldur's Gate 3, fixing thousands of issues since the game's release.

The studio recently released another update for BG3. While not as significant as previous patches, it still introduces some worthwhile adjustments to some amusing problems.

Baldur's Gate 3's Hotfix 10

The team released the patch notes for hotfix 10 on Baldur's Gate 3's Steam store page. This update includes nine fixes to the game, some of which are quite humorous. There are some straightforward changes, such as fixing issues with eye makeup and tattoo intensity sliders not working properly on a controller. Other problems, like the waypoints menu not opening correctly or enemies getting stuck in combat, have also been addressed, providing a more polished experience overall.

Interesting Fixes in the Update

Among the list of changes are tweaks that will certainly amuse players. Astarion, everyone's favorite high elf rogue, previously had a speaking issue. His voice lines and subtitles would desync, creating a jarring experience in which the words he was saying weren't matching up with what was typed on the screen. This new patch resolves the desync issue.

Player characters that were literally on fire during a cutscene with Vlaakith the Lich Queen in the githyanki crèche infirmary have been doused with water. The studio humorously points out that spontaneous combustion isn't fun.

Hotfix 10 also addresses a peculiar issue the studio calls "big blueberry" shoes. Male dwarf barbarians' footwear had no textures, making them appear smoother and resembling "big blueberries". The patch resolves this, making the shoes look like shoes again.

Hotfix 10 Patch Notes

Here are the full patch notes for hotfix 10:

• Fixed Shadowheart not following the party.
• Fixed the sliders for eye makeup and tattoo intensity not working on controller.
• Fixed a potential crash relating to Vulkan. This solves the DEVICE_LOST error upon minimizing the game window.
• Fixed an issue causing a desync between Astarion's voiced lines and subtitles.
• Player characters will no longer be on literal fire in the scene with Vlaakith in the crèche.
• Fixed male dwarf barbarians' shoes, which were missing their texture and looked like big blueberries.
• The waypoints menu now opens correctly when triggered from the Character Sheet on controller.
• Fixed items always being picked up as wares after you picked up at least one as a ware.
• Fixed enemies in Ramazith's Tower getting stuck during combat if they are trying to fly from a lower floor to reach players on an upper floor.
