Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix 7 is here, and while it focuses on minor improvements to prevent crashes and help with save game issues, players are still asking Larian to “shave the cat” since His Majesty was given hair in patch 3. Whether or not Larian will turn the hissing cat back into a Sphynx remains to be seen.

A new Baldur's Gate 3 hotfix is now live, addressing various issues such as crashing and savegame issues to provide a smoother experience.

Larian have released a new Baldur's Gate 3 hotfix - lucky number seven - which fixes several crash bugs while also stopping characters and items cloning themselves when you move between levels, under certain conditions. Gosh, I do love patch notes for massive CRPGs.

Diablo 4 patch notes have arrived for Blizzard’s latest update, a Diablo 4 patch 1.1.4 hotfix that delivers a somewhat surprising but very welcome XP boost for the RPG game.

As much as I hate to say it, Briar is struggling in League of Legends. Enchanting players across the Rift with her adorable (if not vaguely terrifying) personality, the MOBA‘s newest bloodsucker has failed to make a dent post-release, leading to a quick hotfix that League of Legends lead champion designer August ‘August’ Browning claims should “give her a bit more resilience.”

Blizzard has released a new Patch 1.1.4 hotfix, increasing experience gain in higher World Tiers and fixing the Seeds of Hatred bug!

Bethesda has released the first hotfix for Starfield that will take on «a few top issues» with the game, including potential quest blockers and stability and performance issues.

Bethesda says it will be releasing regular updates for Starfield with a view to adding several quality-of-life improvements and community-requested features (including support for DLSS), but before that, the developer has pushed out a smaller hotfix that addresses some more critical bugs in the game.

Starfield officially launched last week, and while the reaction has generally been fairly positive, as with most Bethesda games, there’s still some missing features to be added and a lot of bugs to clean up. Today, Bethesda provided a bit of an update and what they’re working on – perhaps most excitingly, while the AMD-partner game only launched with FSR, it seems DLSS support is already in the works. That’s welcome news that hopefully means players will have the full suite of upscaling options before the end of year (modders have tried to step in to provide DLSS support, but the results aren’t always that stable). In addition to that, players can look forward to a proper FOV slider, HDR calibration options, ultrawide monitor support, and more. Here’s a brief rundown of what you can expect…

Blizzard has fixed the being used outside of Fields of Hatred in the newest Patch 1.1.3 Hotfix. Since this item allowed for teleportation, it makes sense that this was a huge bug — we're glad to see it taken care of!

There was always going to be a certain amount of jank when Starfield launched. It is, after all PC gaming in 2023 and practically every big launch has to have more than its fair share of bugs, crashes, or GPU blowouts. But as a Bethesda game there was always going to be more to it than that. And, while it's certainly not bug-free on other graphics cards, it seems that Intel's Arc GPUs are suffering more than most.

Blizzard has announced that a realm restart will take place tomorrow morning, addressing an issue regarding Non-Hardcore Realms having multiple layers.

Malignant Hearts are part of the online action RPG game‘s first season and, while undoubtedly powerful, the Barber Heart has become the subject of some player controversy.

Players have already found out how to continue to skip the Halls of Infusion Dragon Gauntlet after the Mind Soothe Hotfix.
