Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix 8 Out Now, Fixes Several Crashes and Issues

Today, Larian Studios released the eighth hotfix for Baldur's Gate 3. Hotfixes, unlike patches, are focused on fixing crashes and bugs. You can read the full changelog below.

• Companions will no longer transfer story items in their inventory to the player upon dismissal, restoring Patch 2 behaviour.
• Fixed reaction popups sometimes showing no text descriptions of the reactions available.
• Fixed a multiplayer crash that would occur when listening to a dialogue after an active roll.
• Eavesdrop will no longer trigger when a character is in any Character Creation session, such as level up or the magic mirror.
• Fixed a bug in Vulkan causing DEVICE_LOST crashes.
• Fixed a bug where Skeletons created using Animate Dead were missing their ranged weapons despite specialising in them.
• Fixed an issue where the Weapon Master Feat would show as incomplete if a player was already proficient with all weapons.
• Fixed a crash when re-assigning characters in splitscreen.
• Fixed a visual issue with volumetric fog and materials generation.
• Fixed an issue with invalid savegames being created.
• Restored Raphael's hair colour and horns. The House of Hope is once again fashion-forward.
• Fixed an issue where Splint Armour for Githyanki Females caused some unnecessarily psychedelic visual effects.
• Shaved His Majesty, who is once again a Sphynx. Steelclaw's eye colour has been adjusted so they are no longer identical twins.
• Fixed Raphael's portraits after restoring his hair colour. Maybe he's born with it, maybe it's Avernus.
• Fixed Twitch drops not being claimable on PS5.

Larian Studios also released three major Baldur's Gate 3 since the early August launch. The last one added official Mac support and the ability to change a player character's appearance through the Magic Mirror, albeit with a few limitations (no body type and race or subrace changes, plus Origin characters, full Illithids, and hirelings cannot use the Magic Mirror).
