The latest patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 has arrived – and that’s only because you all are doing too much in the game. The save files could not keep up with your decisions.
Just a few days after the release, Baldur’s Gate 3 published the third small patch. Hotfix 2.1 is already live and can therefore be downloaded. It addresses an issue that is rather atypical. Because the “guilt” for this hotfix lies with all of you. You simply made too many consequential decisions in the game that the save files couldn’t keep up.
What was the problem? Save files in Baldur’s Gate 3 had a maximum size. So how much could be saved was predetermined. But apparently, this size was not sufficient to account for all the actions and decisions in the game. Larian stated the following:
It seems that some of you did so much in Baldur’s Gate 3 that some of your personal “story” databases (where your decisions and actions are stored) became too large. We have now increased their size to infinite (or at least as infinite as your storage space on your drive allows) to account for all the things you all do on your journeys.
What else has the fix addressed? Overall, there are only two minor things that were fixed with the patch. The first thing is the mentioned increase in the maximum size of save files. The second change is the activation of “Larian Cloud” save data. This makes it possible to transfer save files, for example, from the PC to the PlayStation 5.
This is especially important because the PS5 launch is coming up soon and the feature must work flawlessly by then.
The next patch, “Hotfix 3,” is already underway and should also arrive in the next few days. Here, they intend to address a few more minor issues, but have not yet provided any concrete information.
Many see the PS5 launch as a stroke of genius, as our editor-in-chief Leya writes: Baldur’s Gate 3 chooses the perfect release timing again, this time for PS5
