Many Baldur's Gate 3 players are reporting a plethora of new issues following the game's newest update. Baldur's Gate 3's recent patch, which is unfortunately causing significant frustration, also introduced plenty of new features.
Patch 6 forBaldur's Gate 3 released on February 16 and introduced new kissing animations, easier companion dismissal, more Legendary Actions for Honour Mode, new idle animations at camp, and more. This was Baldur's Gate 3's first major update since its Patch 5 in November 2023, so many fans were looking forward to the new content. However, some fans became disappointed after the update seemed to introduce many more bugs than features.
Reddit user twili-midna expressed their frustration with a post to the Baldur's Gate 3 subreddit titled «It's genuinely unacceptable how broken Patch 6 is.» They explained that the update's many game-breaking bugs and removal of previous features have made the game noticeably worse. Following the update, Game Rant's own testing saw many crashing issues while playing Act 3. It seems that these issues are widespread, as many commenters in the Reddit post explained that they are also dealing with serious problems following the new update. One PS5 user even reported that every character in the game attacks them now, including companions and vendors.
Users also highlight that some previous features, like being able to select multiple items while trading or the «send to» specification, have been intentionally removed with the newest update, leading to more disapproval from fans. As for Patch 6's bugs, it's not yet clear when fans can expect a hotfix, but hopefully it will arrive sooner rather than later. On the upside, Patch 6 addressed one of Baldur's Gate 3's most frustrating fights by improving the survival odds for Gondian gnomes during a battle in Act 3.
Patch 6 also introduced tons of camp content for Baldur's Gate 3. When everything is working correctly, camps and companions should feel much more authentic now thanks to new animations and more. Players can also switch out party members in camp much more easily now thanks to Patch 6 cutting down on many of the process' more unnecessary steps.
Despite the update's issues, Baldur's Gate 3 has continued its awards show dominance by taking home another set of accolades at the AIAS' annual DICE Awards last week. It won five awards, including Game of the Year, Outstanding Achievement in Game Design, and Outstanding Achievement in Story.

Update: Well, here’s a weird one – apparently this update accidentally gave players access to Spider-Man 2’s developer debug mode. Insomniac is warning that entering debug mode could corrupt saves, although playing as normal shouldn’t cause an issue (you need to enter a button combination to activate debug mode). Needless to say, Insomniac will likely be patching up this whoopsie soon, but they may have opened up a bit of a Pandora’s box.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s long-awaited New Game Plus update has finally been released, adding new features and bonus content that fans have been requesting since the game launched last October.
