After the successful launch of Baldur’s Gate 3 on Steam and GoG, the role-playing game received hotfix number 2 today, August 8th. This time, too, a whole bunch of bugs are to be fixed. We at MeinMMO tell you what’s inside.
What is the current status of Baldur’s Gate?
Over the weekend, Baldur’s Gate 3 surpassed 800,000 concurrent players on Steam, far exceeding developers’ expectations. Of course, with so many players, errors are quickly noticed, which is why the developers added the 2nd hotfix today, August 8th.
A useful feature can make your life in Baldur’s Gate 3 much easier
This is in the hotfix: While Baldur’s Gate isn’t a game that shys away from nudity, the lewdness of the male gnome wizards was apparently unintentional. You get your underpants back.
The Githyanki will also be a bit more chaste in the future, their genitals should no longer clip through their clothing.
In addition, Larian claims to have fixed almost 300 bugs and other errors. In contrast, most of them are almost boring and prevent crashes, add multiplayer servers or make awkward silences disappear from dialogues.
