Baldur’s Gate 3‘sfirst patch, aptly titled Patch 1,is officially live. This brings theBG3version number to 4.1.1.3669438, so make sure you’re on the proper version when you play next! It’s important to do so because Patch 1 addresses over 1,000 bugs as well as introduces some balance changes and fixes some flow issues while playing.
According to Larian Studios, this patch tackles some visual bugs while adding some more post-launch polish. Enemies should no longer spot you when they shouldn’t be able to, and random items should no longer defy gravity and float. Perhaps most importantly, romancing Shadowheart has been fixed meaning those who could not reach the conclusion of romancing her should now be able to. Thank Shar, am I right?
Larian also confirmed that Patch 2 is right around the corner and will feature significant performance improvements.
Finally, we gotsome more fun stats about player decisionsinBaldur’s Gate 3so far. The most played class is Paladin followed by Sorcerer, and the least played is Cleric. Humans and Elves are the most chosen race followed by Half-Elf. On the flip side, Dwarf, Gnome, Githyanki and Halfling are the least played.
Looking through the patch notes, I see quite a bit of love being given to Act 3 which is honestly where it’s needed the most. It’s great to see Larian putting in the effort to makeBaldur’s Gate 3even better when it’s already so insanely good.
