Hotfix #19 Now Live!

EDIT 23/02/2024: Hotfix 19 is now live for PS5 and Xbox as well!

Hello everyone,

Hotfix #19 has now begun rolling out to PC, with consoles to follow!

This hotfix aims to resolve some further bugs, glitches, and crashes. We are also actively working on further fixes that cover several community-submitted issues with Patch 6, and really appreciate your patience as we prepare to deliver this.

We want to continue making sure you’re getting the best possible experience, which is why we frequently patch the game, although this does inevitably mean that each new patch or hotfix has the potential to become incompatible with your favourite mods.

If you’re experiencing issues after installing the latest update, please check whether the issue persists with your mods uninstalled. If you continue to experience issues after uninstalling mods, please reach out to our support team with your report.

We’re still working on bringing Patch 6 to Mac players, and will update you all when we’re closer to release.

Thank you for playing Baldur’s Gate 3!
