Baldur’s Gate 3is a popular RPG set in the Forgotten Realms, where players explore a detailed world and make choices that impact the story. Players can create their own characters or pick pre-made ones, each with their own storyline. In September,Baldur’s Gate 3patch 7 introduced a modding toolkit, letting players create and customize mods to expand the game.
Baldur’s Gate 3patch 7 was released on consoles on October 1, and a significant part of the current hotfix focuses on resolving mod-related issues that emerged after the patch. PS5 users will notice that the “Continue” button now functions like the “Load Game” screen, preventing games from starting if there are unresolved mod conflicts. Additionally, the update fixes the re-download prompts in the Mod Verification Window. Now, the system properly recognizes actions like uninstalling or re-downloading mods, ensuring those repeated alerts are no longer a problem.
The Mod Manager has also received several upgrades. The interface has been improved, fixing things like the missing animated download bar and adjusting visual elements like the horizontal scrollbar on the Mod Details page. Moreover, a bug that stopped the Mod Manager from opening on PC when using a controller has been fixed, allowing for smoother navigation, and the scrollbar now resets correctly between pages. On PlayStation 5, the Mod Manager will now show the correct memory available after uninstallingBaldur’s Gate 3mods, and a crash that occurred when switching pages has also been resolved.
Aside from the modding system, the hotfix also fixes several in-game crashes and bugs. PlayStation 5 users will notice improvements to the DualSense controller, which used to change its lightbar color unnecessarily when switching profiles. For gameplay, the patch improves load times for players with several mods. It also removes a trade exploit involving pact weapons and wares that let players keep valuable items after a transaction. Additionally, the update ensures that Honour Mode features, like Legendary Actions, don’t carry over to non-Honour Mode games, fixing a problem that was affecting gameplay balance.
