Baldur’s Gate 3: Patch 1 with over 1,000 changes is now available – these are the patch notes

The first major patch for Larian’s role-playing masterpiece has just been released. Here you can read about all the changes.

Today the time has finally come! Larian has just released the first really huge patch for Baldur’s Gate 3. The patch is so big that, according to Larian, it blew up the character limit on Steam. The patch notes therefore had to be outsourced.

The patch itself is a full 2.2 gigabytes in size and can be downloaded now

The most important changes

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a terrific game, but it is still plagued by many annoying bugs, especially in the last act. For this reason, we had to devalue it a little despite its historical rating. Accordingly, there really are hundreds of small and large fixes in the new patch. Here is a summary of the most important issues that should now work. Spoiler free.

• Numerous bugs in the story flow and the reactions of your companions have been fixed.
• A lot of gamebreakers have been fixed, like some unintentional game overs.
• You can no longer recruit Minthara and Halsin through a glitch.
• The balance has been reworked in many places. For example, a boss enemy will hit harder on the highest difficulty and your heroes will have more life on the easiest difficulty.
• The display in Custcenes has been optimised in many places, for example, kisses between characters of different sizes should run better.
• You should now be able to find a little more gold in many crates.
• Bards can now learn more spells from other classes.
• The additional music from the Deluxe Edition can now also be played with Lohse’s lute and by companions.
• Dozens of causes for crashes have been fixed.

So be sure to check the game and see if an annoying bug still exists or not. No new features have been introduced for now. But that could still come in the future. At the moment there are still a lot of bugs that need to be repaired.

Have you already tried the patch? Are you happy with the changes or are there still problems that unfortunately haven’t been fixed? Has the patch possibly brought completely new bugs into the game? What other wishes do you have for Larian that go beyond mere fixes? Tell us in the comments! We’d be happy to hear it!
