FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Baldurs Gate 3 s latest hotfix is here, and it promises a whole host of 
fixes to certain crashes, blockers, and more. 

Hotfix 16 was rolled out today (January 9), perhaps most notably allowing 
players to access certain quest-related items whenever they want, even if 
they sent them to camp by mistake. 

The patch notes explain: Have your party members been hoarding trinkets? Did 
you accidentally send Mintharas lute to your camp supplies, thinking nobody 
could possibly need a lute in this day and age? In this hotfix, you will now 
be able to access certain quest-related items on the spot - even if your 
current party does not hold them! Hows that for magic pockets? 

Its not been outlined exactly which items fall under this category. Last 
week, a couple of different players on Reddit reported issues with getting 
softlocked in Honor Mode after accidentally leaving the Orphic Hammer behind 
during a certain section of the game. So, if thats one of the items which can 
now be accessed at any time, its sure to be a relief for them. 

Besides that, some crashes, such as those that could occur when altering 
VSync settings, unloading and loading into a region, or receiving a pop-up 
message after lock-picking an item, have been sorted out. A problem that 
prevented players from advancing to Act Three has been fixed, too, and a 
strange bug where players controlling multiple avatars were greeted with 
several naked characters above them after the first Dream Visitor dream has 
also been removed. 

Otherwise, the patch notes also spell fantastic news for any Gale fans out 
there: Fixed Gale's dialogue ending abruptly when asking him for a kiss. 
Enjoy the moment. 

Mac players will be pleased to know that Larian Studios is currently 
restructuring in order to make sure future Mac updates land at the same time 
as their PC counterparts. For now, a maximum delay of two weeks can be 
expected, which Larian has apologized for, noting that it understands the 
wait is frustrating. 

If you want to check out the entire list of changes from Hotfix 16, be sure 
to read the full patch notes . While not part of this hotfix, game director 
Swen Vincke also confirmed today that Xbox has uncovered the firmware issue 
that can sometimes cause save files on Xbox Series X |S to go missing, and a 
fix for that is incoming.
