Today, Larian Studios issued a ninth hotfix for Baldur's Gate 3. The update focuses on allowing players to change their protagonist's name and improving the appearance of Hirelings via the Magic Mirror introduced in Patch 3.
This release addresses various issues, including crashes when loading or saving games quickly, GPU crashes in the PS5 Vulkan version, and the Guardian Statue causing server lag by falling into an abyss.
For PS5 users, fixes have been implemented to prevent a blackout screen during split-screen conversations and to ensure that prepared spells dismiss their enhancements when upgraded.
Bugs related to dialogue, character animations, and the activation of Minthara's love interest have also been resolved. Visual effects for the Adamantine Splint Armour, character nudity in intimate scenes, and Feign Death combat loops have been fixed.
Baldur's Gate 3, currently available on PC and PS5, continues to receive acclaim and is expected to launch on Xbox Series S|X soon. Plans for a global retail release of the PS5 version are in progress, starting with Japan.
In conclusion, Larian Studios' ninth hotfix for Baldur's Gate 3 brings important bug fixes and enhancements, solidifying its position as a highly anticipated title in the gaming industry.
