Baldur's Gate 3 hotfix 20 looks to resolve more patch 6 troubles

Baldur's Gate 3 hotfix 20 is here, as Larian Studios continues to polish up its vast Dungeons and Dragons RPG following the launch of the romance-heavy BG3 patch 6. While we got a lot of welcome upgrades in that update, it also left many players running into new bugs and glitches - our multiplayer game last week saw my friend holding an extended conversation with an NPC that was fully invisible in his game. This latest Baldur's Gate 3 update today looks to fix some of these problems, and there's a bit of a focus on Minthara.

Hotfix #20 Now Live!

Hello everyone,

We have another hotfix for you today, fixing several bugs, issues, and blockers.

Was Minthara exercising perhaps a little too much independence? We’ve fixed an issue where everyone’s favourite drow would simply decide to not follow the party in Act II or Act III. You should find her more willing to fall in line now - at least in terms of keeping up. She’s still something of a free spirit.

Mac players, you’ll be pleased to hear that this hotfix brings the full release of Patch 6 and subsequent hotfixes to the platform, so kiss without delay. Thank you for your patience!

As with previous updates, if you’re experiencing issues after installing the latest hotfix, please check whether the issue persists with your mods uninstalled. If you continue to experience issues after uninstalling mods, please contact our support team with your report.

We’re continuing to work on further fixes and patches, but in the meantime, thank you for supporting us and playing Baldur’s Gate 3!


FIXES
  • Introduced a few crash safeguards to ensure that when a savegame fails to load, you'll be sent back to the Main Menu.
  • Fixed some issues causing the second player on split screen to have a black screen for 30 seconds.
  • Fixed a bug preventing you from opening containers (like the Camp Supply Sack) while trading if you selected a different character from the one who initiated the trade. This also fixed a sneaky money exploit.
  • Fixed a bug causing the environment to never take its turn, blocking combat from progressing.
  • Fixed a bug causing you to get stuck in combat if there were still some bats remaining after you defeated Cazador.
  • Fixed an infinite loot bug that would duplicate Herdmaster Skardjall's Scale Mail every time you removed the Whipping Cane from his body.
  • Fixed a bug causing the crime dialogue for trespassing to get spammed beside the Steel Watch Foundry.
  • Fixed some banding and shader issues in cinematics that were causing VFX artefacts on faces at certain angles.
  • Fixed Minthara sometimes not following the party in Act II or Act III.
  • Fixed a case where Halsin wouldn't move to his position when you arrived at Last Light in Act II.
  • Fixed an issue where Minthara wouldn't leave the party after being escorted out of Moonrise Towers.
  • Fixed an issue causing characters to tell you they were too busy to talk to you when you tried to speak to them. They were lying.
  • Fixed missing tab textures in the Trade UI.
  • Hid the filter tabs for traders when bartering with them, these will be reintroduced in a future update pending further testing.
  • Fixed a potential crash when preloading complex cinematics.

Baldur's Gate 3's next hotfix should arrive this week, and hopefully it'll stop Minthara spoiling a big reveal

Warning: Spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3 lie ahead.

Would you look at that, another Baldur's Gate 3 hotfix is inbound and Larian says it should hopefully get here by the end of this week. It’s also revealed that it’ll fix one issue with Minthara, but players who love travelling with the posh Drow are hoping it’ll also whack another that’s a bit more annoying.

Yep, following the arrival of patch 6 and all of its new stuff - some of which was related to kissing people right on the bonce - we’ve had a couple of hotfixes that’ve taken out a host of issues that’ve cropped up. Unfortunately, it looks like there’s one issue with the slightly evil, but also hilarious Minthara that’s managed to fly under the radar.

When you roll a one in Baldur's Gate 3—heck, in any TTRPG—it's easy to blame lady luck for your failures. I myself am guilty of a frustrated 'oh, come on' when my d20s betray me, and I'm not even the kind of guy to build a dice jail to punish their polyhedrons with...
