As promised, the first hot fix for Baldur's Gate 3 III has arrived, and it's a big one, addressing more than 150 bugs and issues. You can see the full patch notes below.

Larian also said it is aware of reports of issues with game-saves, and the culprit was discovered to be cross-save functionality. To address this, Larian is disabling this for now--after all, it won't be relevant until Baldur's Gate 3 comes to PS5 on September 6. «We've decided to disable it for now to allow us to solve the issue in the interim. You shouldn’t notice anything in-game and Steam Cloud saves are unaffected by this change,» Larian said.

The Baldur's Gate 3 update brings the game up to version 4.1.1.3624901. The game is riding high right now, surpassing 500,000 concurrent players.
