Wazzup Everyone, Welcome back!

We've got an update from Larian Studios, the developer of the highly anticipated Baldur's Gate 3. It seems there have been some issues with the recent hotfix, and Larian Studios is making changes to its patching approach. Let's dive into the details.

Hotfix Chaos:

Larian Studios recently issued the third hotfix for Baldur's Gate 3. However, instead of solving problems, this hotfix ended up causing chaos among players, particularly with their saved games. If you've saved your game after applying this hotfix, you're likely facing issues loading those saves.

A Rare Compiler Issue

The Swedish studio behind Baldur's Gate 3 explained that the problem stemmed from a "rare compiler issue." This unexpected complication led to save game errors, frustrating players who had invested significant time in the game.

Rolling Back as a Temporary Solution

In response to these issues, Larian Studios made the tough decision to roll the game back to hotfix 3 temporarily. While this isn't the ideal solution, it was deemed "the lesser of two evils." This means that players will have to wait for the re-publishing of Hotfix 4 to regain full access to their saved games.

Quality Assurance Process:

Larian Studios assured players that Hotfix 4 had gone through a rigorous quality assurance (QA) process and was initially confirmed as a candidate for release. However, a last-minute decision to change the version number led to a corrupted version of the hotfix, causing crashes that wouldn't typically occur.

Baldur's Gate 3 players may have experienced some frustration due to issues with the recent hotfix. Larian Studios is actively working to resolve these problems and has promised to rethink its patching approach to prevent similar situations in the future. So, if you've been affected by this issue, hang tight – a solution is in the works, and you'll soon be able to continue your adventures in Faerûn without save game woes.
