Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix #15 Complete Patch Notes
Below are the complete patch notes for Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix #15 found on Steam:
We have a new hotfix for you this week, addressing a number of crashes, blockers, and gameplay issues.
Have you found some characters’ faces turning into stretched eldritch horrors with pits of flesh in place of eyes? That should not be a problem anymore!
This hotfix also addresses an issue that was preventing players from loading a save if the mods used had changed. Bear in mind some saves might still not load depending on the mods that have changed, but the menu should now let you continue.
Japanese language is now available for PC on Steam and PS5 (in Japan only). We continue to work to bring it to other platforms!
Thank you for taking the time to submit these issues to us. If you have any bugs to report, please reach out to our support team. Thank you for playing Baldur’s Gate 3!
