Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix 20 fixes several bugs and issues

Larian Studios continues its streak with hotfixes released for their action RPG Baldur’s Gate 3. Today, they have released Hotfix #20, fixing many bugs and issues. You can find the patch notes below.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix #20

Was Minthara exercising perhaps a little too much independence? We’ve fixed an issue where everyone’s favourite drow would simply decide to not follow the party in Act II or Act III. You should find her more willing to fall in line now – at least in terms of keeping up. She’s still something of a free spirit.

Mac players, you’ll be pleased to hear that this hotfix brings the full release of Patch 6 and subsequent hotfixes to the platform, so kiss without delay. Thank you for your patience!

As with previous updates, if you’re experiencing issues after installing the latest hotfix, please check whether the issue persists with your mods uninstalled. If you continue to experience issues after uninstalling mods, please contact our support team with your report.

We’re continuing to work on further fixes and patches, but in the meantime, thank you for supporting us and playing Baldur’s Gate 3!

• Fixed some issues causing the second player on split screen to have a black screen for 30 seconds.
