Baldur's Gate 3 Hotfix 22 Addresses Xbox Save Issues, RPG Gameplay Adjustment

In a recent update to Baldur's Gate 3, players on Xbox Series X/S can breathe a sigh of relief as a crucial hotfix addresses save file issues, bringing the console version in line with PC and PS5 counterparts.

Xbox Save Problems Rectified

The latest hotfix, designated as hotfix 22 for the expansive Dungeons & Dragons RPG, prioritizes resolving save file issues plaguing Xbox Series X/S players. With this update, cross-saves between Xbox consoles and other platforms, such as PC and PS5, have been restored to full functionality, ensuring a seamless gaming experience across different devices.

Minthara Dialogue Tweaks

Among the notable improvements in this hotfix is the rectification of dialogue inconsistencies involving Minthara, a character pivotal to the game's narrative progression. Previously, players encountered a perplexing scenario where Minthara unexpectedly departed from the player's party during Act 3, particularly if the player assumed the role of a Dark Urge character. This departure was later confirmed to be a bug, disrupting the immersion of players.

The hotfix addresses this issue by altering Minthara's dialogue, specifically eliminating repeated references to Gale and his actions in Act 3. Previously, Minthara's dialogue would persistently mention Gale's involvement in certain events, regardless of the player's choices and outcomes in the game. With this adjustment, players can now experience a more coherent and immersive narrative without distracting inconsistencies.

Looking Ahead

Despite the comprehensive nature of hotfix 22, Larian Studios reassures players that ongoing efforts are underway to address any remaining issues and further enhance the gaming experience. Players experiencing technical difficulties post-update are advised to remove all installed mods, a step recommended by the developers to ensure optimal performance.
