Developer Larian Studios is not finished with Baldur's Gate 3 yet as it launched a new update just in time for Christmas. Hotfix 15 has resolved a number of issues, such as quest blockers, high memory usage, and more.
New Update
Larian Studios wants players to enjoy Baldur's Gate 3 as they spend most of their time indoors during the Christmas break. That is why the company released Hotfix 15, which addressed multiple issues that plagued the game.
Baldur's Gate 3 supports custom mods. These mods can be installed to improve certain aspects of the game. Want additional inventory space? There is a mod for that. Want to have a better user interface? Yup, there is a mod for that as well.
With so many mods out there, it is understandable that players would try most of them out and then uninstall those that they do not like. Well, there was a bug that prevented players from loading a saved game when that particular save used mods that were already removed from their PCs. The good news is that this has been resolved in Hotfix 15.
In terms of performance, the memory issue that could occur when players close containers using a controller has been fixed. Memory usage related to animation skinning has also been reduced.

Player Discovers Something New
Baldur's Gate 3 is a gift that keeps on giving. Recently, a player has discovered something new even after 400 hours of playing the game. Apparently, players can come across some Winged Horrors by going to the top of the Moonrise Towers in Act 2, just before facing Ketheric.
The game is pretty huge and is known for its branching storylines. Players will get different endings depending on the choices they have made during the course of the campaign. That is why it is pretty interesting that Baldur's Gate 3 is teeming with content; some of which may not have been discovered by the majority of the player base!
