Baldur's Gate 3's new hotfix reverses history's most controversial feline glow-up and stops your companions acting 'like a toddler in a grocery store'




Readers, our long national nightmare is over. An injustice has been rectified, light shines where once there was only darkness, your children can sleep soundly in their beds. I speak, of course, of Baldur's Gate 3's latest hotfix, which has restored His Majesty—everyone's favourite overweening feline—to his original, superior, and hairless form...

Latest Baldur's Gate 3 update fixes the shared stash issue and re-shaves the cat


Larian have released a new Baldur's Gate 3 update which - in news that will surely lead to V-Day-style mass celebrations throughout the forts and dungeons of Faerûn - removes the loathed shared stash system introduced by Patch 3, which caused companions to dump their entire inventories on you when dismissed. The new patch reverts companion behaviour to their pre-Patch 3 behaviour, for a less frustrating RPG experience. In even more momentous tidings, it re-shaves that cat everybody loves. Ah, videogames.

Hotfix #8 Now Live!

Hello everyone,

We’ve got another hotfix for you today, fixing multiple bugs, crashes and visual issues.

Have your companions taken to weighing you down physically as well as emotionally? We looked into your reports and have restored their Patch 2 behaviour. When dismissed, they will no longer give you all the items they deem important for you to carry, like a toddler in a grocery store.

More importantly, we shaved His Majesty.

Thank you for reporting these issues to us. If you have any bugs to report, please reach out to our support team. Thank you for playing Baldur’s Gate 3.

[h3]CHANGES[/h3]
  • Companions will no longer transfer story items in their inventory to the player upon dismissal, restoring Patch 2 behaviour.
  • Fixed reaction popups sometimes showing no text descriptions of the reactions available.
  • Fixed a multiplayer crash that would occur when listening to a dialogue after an active roll.
  • Eavesdrop will no longer trigger when a character is in any Character Creation session, such as level up or the magic mirror.
  • Fixed a bug in Vulkan causing DEVICE_LOST crashes.
  • Fixed a bug where Skeletons created using Animate Dead were missing their ranged weapons, despite specialising in them.
  • Fixed an issue where the Weapon Master Feat would show as incomplete if a player was already proficient with all weapons.
  • Fixed a crash when re-assigning characters in splitscreen.
  • Fixed a visual issue with volumetric fog and materials generation.
  • Fixed an issue with invalid savegames being created.
  • Restored Raphael's hair colour and horns. The House of Hope is once again fashion-forward.
  • Fixed an issue where Splint Armour for Githyanki Females caused some unnecessarily psychedelic visual effects.
  • Shaved His Majesty, who is once again a Sphynx. Steelclaw's eye colour has been adjusted so they are no longer identical twins.
  • Fixed Raphael's portraits after restoring his hair colour. Maybe he's born with it, maybe it's Avernus.
  • Fixed Twitch drops not being claimable on PS5.

Baldur's Gate 3 did everything right, except the Drow twins

Baldur's Gate 3 is undoubtedly my favorite game of all time. I love playing tabletop Dungeons & Dragons, but there's something even more magical about watching its characters and world come to life digitally as they do in Larian Studios' latest. From mystical myconids to voracious vampires, DnD is home to all fantastical creatures. It's also home to all flavors of budding romance - whether it's cosmic space sex you desire or a Twilight-esque experience, love comes in all varieties.

Baldur's Gate 3's last patch quietly clothed a formerly-nude cat, and some players are demanding their little naked man back




"Updated the visuals of His Majesty, who previously looked like Steelclaw. His Majesty's appearance now befits his name and stature," reads Baldur's Gate 3's latest patch notes. But does it? The emperor once had no clothes, but now His Majesty, a cat who lives in Baldur's Gate 3, is a fluffy longhair instead of the smooth Sphynx we came to love—and an awful lot of fans aren't happy about it...
