(hx) 12:07 PM CEST - Aug,17 2023 - Post a comment / read (12)
Larian Studios released Hotfix 4 for its highly acclaimed RPG, Baldur’s Gate 3. According to the changelog, Hotfix 4 resolves some crashes. Furthermore, this fourth Hotfix attempts to fix bugs, flow issues, and companions who keep trying to sleep in. Larian Studios also revealed that Patch 1 for Baldur’s Gate 3 will have over 1000 fixes and tweaks. The team will then follow this update with Patch 2, which will incorporate some of the biggest requests Larian has received from the community since launch. As always, Steam will download Hotfix 4 for Baldur’s Gate 3 the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
Baldur's Gate 3 Hotfix 4 Release Notes

RASHES AND BLOCKERS
    Fixed players getting stuck mid-Long-Rest due to companions not waking up.
    Fixed being able to Long Rest in the Astral Prism, potentially causing the portal to disappear.
    Also fixed Orin getting pulled from her location in the
    Temple of Bhaal if the door was opened before killing
    Gortash in Wyrm’s Crossing.
    Fixed a script issue preventing some players from loading savegames.

MULTIPLAYER
    Fixed characters disappearing when disconnecting and reconnecting in split-screen.
    Added a warning for hosts in multiplayer when clients join through drop-in during Character Creation. Hosts must now grant approval before new players join.
    Fixed the visibility of multiplayer servers on GOG.

COMBAT
    Slightly increased Isobel’s HP so she doesn’t die as easily.
    Fixed a bug that would make Gortash join the combat taking place in Wyrm’s Rock’s Audience Hall while he was in his office upstairs.
    Fixed Cruel Sting adding infinite additional Psychic damage to attacks.

FLOW AND SCRIPTING
    Fixed the ‘Enemy of the Absolute’ crime not clearing from player characters, resulting in a soft block when speaking to the Steel Watch.
    Fixed the game thinking the Emperor had died in
    the Astral Prism when you healed a downed ally.
    Player resources are now correctly restored at the end of Act II.
    Having dead party members no longer prevents you from entering the Astral Prism.
    Fixed a bug preventing you from talking to Ravengard if he gets moved to the camp in a certain case.
    Hostages in the Iron Throne will no longer be stuck if you turn back and return again.
    Players with modded or cheated savegames with characters at Level 13 or above can now travel to the House of Hope.
    Killing Anders will no longer make the other paladins leave
    the Tollhouse.

Do you still believe it's a finished product?
Same early access as before, just with more testers.

Yawn.

No one else is bitching like you, literally :lol: And this game is the pinnacle of its genre.

Try to name ONE game that comes close to the same level of complexity and hasn't received a single patch after the fact.

Example:

Skyrim had patches, right?

Oh, but it needed the community to do the legwork, which is why the unofficial patch for Skyrim fixes over 3000 reported issues. Some of which are game-breaking and cause CTDs. Same story with Fallout 4. Bethesda didn't give a sh!t about their janky contraptions.

It's the same story for Bioware games (and they're not even half as ambitious as BG3). I installed Mass Effect Legendary a few weeks ago and discovered each game in the series had an unofficial patch which fixes approximately 500+ reported issues.

Has any other company come close to caring for a game of such magnitude? Maybe if it was an MMORPG that had sustained funding.

The point is, Larian are doing an incredible job. I'll bet you $70 and a giant cheese wheel that the community won't need to release any kind of unofficial patch.

Day 1, I've been playing the game and did not experience a single crash or game breaking issue. BG3 was not thrown out of the door in a hurry like Cyberpunk 2077 or No Man's Sky.

You? I doubt you've ever paid full price for a game since prices were bumped to $70.

You are missing the point.
Patches are normal.
They fix compatibility issues, improve performance and stability.
They should come.

What's not normal is 500 gameplay/quest related fixes each week.
That's clearly an untested product.
So, yes, I am bitching because I am disappointed.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 fared far better.

Missing the point? Are you sure about that? :lol: Divinity had a ton of patches [10 patches alone in 1 month, almost daily!], and even a Definitive Edition that revamped the game.

Divinity is also less than half the game compared to BG3.

See here

It was basically the same story with Original Sin 2. The classic patches prior to the definitive edition were extensive.

And let's not mention the fact that both games require a bunch of QoL mods for the best experience.

Divinity is an incredible series, and it definitely paved the way for Baldur's Gate 3. They made huge strides evolving the engine.

Personally, my favourite was the original Divine Divinity. Great soundtrack too.

Csimbi(12:00 AM CEST - Aug,20 2023 )
Not really. BG3 had how many years of Early Access? lol

devilhood(01:04 AM CEST - Aug,20 2023 )
Csimbi> Not really. BG3 had how many years of Early Access? lol

What do you mean "Not really?" lol. I'm just stating facts.

It was in EA for as long as it has been because they were working on Act 2 & 3 whilst refining the game based on community feedback. The EA approach sustained the development of the game.

Technically the patches coming out would have been in development a month before its original release date. Remember, it was moved to the beginning of August (instead of the 31st) because of Bethesda's impending bugfest, Starfield?

Do you really think a company can provide an update addressing 1000 bugs/tweaks in the space of two weeks? Maybe that's a f%^$ing clue to let you know these fixes have been in development way before August 3rd. If Larian had kept to the original release date, we'd be none the wiser and these patches would have been included in the release build, but it obviously isn't an issue since the recent reviews on Steam are all Overwhelmingly Positive.

Pretty typical for most games where the minor bug crushing and tweaks happen after all the major issues are addressed, and hey guess what? There are no major issues.

Yeah, it's clearly unfinished EA trash :roll:

I think it's the greatest game to be released in the past 20 yrs.

You're so edgy.

Csimbi(01:49 PM CEST - Aug,20 2023 )
Why? Because I think Skyrim was a great game?

Because you've still yet to sell your kidney and buy Baldur's Gate 3 Collector's Edition.
