Summary

• Developers Larian Studios have released Hotfix 15 for Baldur’s Gate 3 for all consoles.
• Hotfix 15 solves the facial distortion in-game and brings Japanese to PC and PS5 exclusively for Japan.
• The hotfix fixes a lot of crashes and breakpoints along with recurrent gameplay issues.

Quite a lot of bugs have plagued Baldur’s Gate 3. This is nothing unusual, given the scope and expansive size of the game, making it one of the best games ever and the recipient of 8 nominations at the Game Awards 2023, along with the tied Game of the Year Award.

Larian Studios has released Hotfix 15 for Baldur’s Gate 3. The detailed blog revealed that the “Pinocchio” visual bug that caused nose stretching has now been fixed. The game is also now playable in Japanese, but only for players on the Japanese mainland. A lot of other bugs and recurrent crash points have also been fixed.

It must be remembered that Larian Studios released the vast “Patch 5” for Baldur’s Gate 3 about three weeks ago. But Larian is not entirely done yet.

They have been one of the most responsive developers of the past few years, listening to every bit of feedback that is being shared and instantly working on it to improve the gameplay for all players.

The Japanese language is available for PC on Steam and PlayStation 5 in Japan Exclusively. The characters in-game getting their face stretched with pits of flesh in place of eyes have also been fixed.

There was a recurrent issue wherein players could not load a save game that was saved/started with a mod that has now been deleted. This issue has also been resolved, ensuring free gameplay and no restriction on mods.

Crashes when switching to Honour mode, changing levels, and losing internet connection while editing the lobby name on the Xbox have also been fixed.

There are performance improvements as well. Memory issues when containers are closed on a controller and the irregular laval bubbles near the Sentient Amulet in Grymforge that caused saved games to become very large have also been fixed.

Although this hotfix does not solve all the issues, it is a solid fix that tends to fix many problems. Larian Studios is proactively working to ensure the best gaming experience for all players; this is what we love to see from a developer who has had great success.
