Analysis of Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix 21

Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix 21 has been released on all platforms except Xbox, with the primary focus on fixing the item transfer system between companions. The update also addresses other bugs and crashes within the game, providing a smoother gameplay experience for players.

One of the key features of Baldur’s Gate 3 was the ability to transfer items between companions seamlessly. This feature allowed players to swap items between characters at any time, regardless of their location within the game. However, over the past few weeks, this feature had been broken, causing inconvenience to players. The hotfix 21 aims to resolve this issue and restore the item transfer system to its intended functionality.

Apart from addressing the item transfer system, hotfix 21 also includes several bug fixes and enhancements to improve the overall gameplay experience. One notable bug fix involves Gale’s ‘bad’ ending, where the character blows himself up to take out the Netherbrain. This bug caused the player character to turn into a mote, rendering them unable to interact with other characters in the epilogue scene. The update also includes new error checkers for save loading issues, as well as fixes for crashes during character creation and specific in-game transitions.

Unfortunately, hotfix 21 is not yet available on Xbox Series X, as the update is still undergoing testing due to a crash bug specific to the platform. This means that players on Xbox will not be able to load cross-platform saves from other platforms that have already installed hotfix 20 and 21. Larian has acknowledged this inconvenience and is working to bring the hotfixes to the Xbox platform as soon as possible.

Baldur’s Gate 3 hotfix 21 brings significant improvements to the item transfer system and addresses several bugs and crashes within the game. While the update is not yet available on Xbox, the developers are working to resolve the issue and make the hotfixes accessible to all players. Players can expect a smoother gameplay experience and enhanced features with the latest update, ensuring an enjoyable gaming experience in the world of Baldur’s Gate 3.
