Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix #10 Stops Shadowheart From Getting Distracted

The Baldur’s Gate 3 updates are coming in thick and fast. Now, developer Larian has released the game’s tenth hotfix, which addresses a number of issues.

Hotfix #10, now live on all platforms except Mac, addresses visual issues and bugs, Larian said in a post on Steam. Chief among them is a fix for an issue where Astarion’s voice wasn’t quite following what he was supposed to say during dialogues.

Elsewhere, there’s a fix for Shadowheart not following the party, or as Larian put it: “We’ve asked Shadowheart to stop getting distracted by the wonderful vistas of the Sword Coast and she should now follow with the rest of the team.” That pesky Shadowheart!

Larian continues to have fun with Baldur’s Gate 3’s patch notes. I enjoyed this one quite a bit: “Fixed male dwarf barbarians’ shoes, which were missing their texture and looked like big blueberries.”

Here are the Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix #10 notes in full:

FIXES

• Fixed Shadowheart not following the party.
• Fixed the sliders for eye makeup and tattoo intensity not working on controller.
• Fixed a potential crash relating to Vulkan. This solves the DEVICE_LOST error upon minimising the game window.
• Fixed an issue causing a desync between Astarion’s voiced lines and subtitles.
• Player characters will no longer be on literal fire in the scene with Vlaakith in the crèche.
• Fixed male dwarf barbarians’ shoes, which were missing their texture and looked like big blueberries.
• The waypoints menu now opens correctly when triggered from the Character Sheet on controller.
• Fixed items always being picked up as wares after you picked up at least one as a ware.
• Fixed enemies in Ramazith’s Tower getting stuck during combat if they are trying to fly from a lower floor to reach players on an upper floor.

In IGN’s review of Baldur’s Gate 3, which returned a 10/10, we said: “With crunchy, tactical RPG combat, a memorable story with complex characters, highly polished cinematic presentation, and a world that always rewards exploration and creativity, Baldur’s Gate 3 is the new high-water mark for CRPGs.”
