Now that the "final" Patch 8 for Baldur's Gate 3 has been out for nearly a year, you'd think Larian Studios would be ready to close the book on the beloved Dungeons & Dragons RPG for good – but, much to my delight, the devs are not quite finished cleaning it up.
Larian has plenty to grapple with right now, between Divinity and its other upcoming project (the ever-mysterious title codenamed Excalibur), but the developers aren't done ironing out issues folks have flagged in Baldur's Gate 3.
Just a couple of days ago, the studio announced in an admittedly amusing post that a new update, albeit seemingly quite minor, had gone live, addressing a few more of the "technical problems" in-game.
Bet you thought you’d seen the last of these.As it turns out, a few crashes and technical issues were still knocking about, so if you were getting stuck while loading saves, or trying to progress from Act 2 into Act 3, your corrupted saves should now be fixed!February 16, 2026
"Bet you thought you'd seen the last of these," it reads. "As it turns out, a few crashes and technical issues were still knocking about, so if you were getting stuck while loading saves, or trying to progress from Act 2 into Act 3, your corrupted saves should now be fixed!"
The devs also list the most current version of Baldur's Gate 3 on all platforms, with Xbox Series X|S and PS5 being 4.1.1.7143914 while PC is at 4.1.1.7151330.
That's… a lot of numbers. It speaks to all of the effort Larian has poured into its RPG thus far, though, with everything from massive Patch 8-style releases to smaller yet necessary hotfixes dropping along the way.
I'd wager the devs' work isn't over yet, either, judging by comments on their announcement – the community still has plenty of requests, from fixes for Wyll's banter text to tweaks that address the anisotropic bug on PC.
There's plenty of, uh, hopium to be found among the replies, too. One fan asks, "So you are telling me that Gortash romance is still possible?" I'm not sure we'll ever see something like that come to fruition, but a girl can keep on dreaming, eh?
