Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian is revamping its patch deployment process after a recent hiccup. The studio had to retract Hotfix 4 due to crashes, temporarily locking players out of saves made during the update.

Some issues, like missing gnome underpants, were trivial, while others, such as a save-corrupting bug, were more significant. Another major patch is planned, set to incorporate community requests, possibly including mid-game character appearance changes.
