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

Its fantastic news for all members of the Astarion fanclub - Larian Studios 
has confirmed that its aiming to release Patch Five for Baldurs Gate 3 this 
week, and it will come with an all-important fix to the vampires kissing 
animations. 

For those out of the loop, as TheGamer explains , Astarions smooches have 
been facing issues since the release of Patch Four at the start of the month. 
At first, he stopped expressing interest in kissing anyone at all, but a 
later hotfix changed this so that he would attempt to kiss again but 
completely miss and aim for the air instead. Needless to say, its been a 
turbulent time for those whove romanced him. 

Thankfully, thats now set to change very soon. In a post published on Twitter 
today, Larian Studios wrote: We're aiming to release Patch Five this week, 
which fixes the eternally active acts of thefts and violence causing 
slowdowns, introduced in the previous patch. It also fixes Astarion's little 
kisses, and more! We're aiming to release Patch 5 this week, which fixes the 
eternally-active acts of thefts & violence causing slowdowns, introduced in 
the previous patch. It also fixes Astarion's little kisses, and more!

As for the slowdowns that were mentioned in the tweet, Larian Studios 
director of publishing, Michael Douse, clarified that these were caused by a 
specific bug in Moonrise [Towers] that caused a systemic error that stacked 
over time, which means the further you got, the worse it got. This means that 
the recent performance issues that players have been seeing in Act Three 
should be ironed out when the patch is released. 

Otherwise, Larian also confirmed that its preparing a community update that 
talks about some new features coming to Baldurs Gate 3 , although it didnt 
give any further hints as to what these are, so fans will have to stay tuned 
to see. 

In other Baldurs Gate 3 news, Larian recently revealed that the release date 
for the highly anticipated Xbox version of the game will be announced during 
The Game Awards on December 7. At the same time, it was stated that its on 
track for a December release, but its not known if that could have changed in 
the meantime.
