Here's the full list of fixes: https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=886485&#Post886485

It didn't fit Steam for how long it is, it's insane! Good job!

the forums seem to be down, probably "hug of death". Can you or anyone else who might have had luck accessing it to copypaste the changelog here? Thanks <3

Hate to be the guy posting reddit links, but I'm too lazy to copy/paste/format it myself: https://old.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/160vnmb/patch_1_patch_notes/jxoekga/

That list is absolutely insane. Hits multiple character limits in reddit comments

Yep yep lol The wheel just spins for me

Wow! Larian is not sitting around over there. Thank you Larian!

Edit. I heard they fixed the kissing between the small and big people. Nothing will stop love.

Also hopefully butt grabbing. I'm playing as a halfling and during one particular scene I'm confident they went for the butt but instead weirdly cupped the back of my knee. Of course it may have been just a general anatomy issue, we were trying something different for sure.

I want to read the notes, but spoilers are everywhere!

This patch doesn't yet allow the removal of custom multiplayer characters from a party right?

[–] Stovetop 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't heard anything to that effect.

I wish multiplayer was a bit more dynamic. I started a game with two other friends a couple weeks ago, but then a third friend wants to join now and we have to decide if we want to completely start over or just have them control the NPCs.

[–] JanoRis 5 points 1 year ago

devs want to add the possibility to remove custom multiplayer characters in the future, but it seems it is not included in this patch yet

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know why our poor shorty races are so under-represented, Larian did a fantastic job on their models! Compared to male elves and tieflings, the dwarf and gnome selection is vastly superior. And gnome racials are absolutely crazy, who wouldn't want advantage on all the most debilitating saves!?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I disagree, why can’t I be a swole gnome?

[–] JimmyMcGill 10 points 1 year ago

Man what a monster patch. Having written the release notes for the company I work for, today at work and then reading this… I shudder just thinking about the amount of work it takes to write this and to organize all these things in the background. Jesus fucking Christ how many people work at Larian/this game?

Lastly patch #2 is just around the corner and it will mostly be a performance one. Really excited for that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a tonne in there, and a lot of spoilers.

Have they made any improvements to split screen? It's pretty unplayable right now.

[–] JimmyMcGill 2 points 1 year ago

Not according to patch. There’s some minor improvements to the engine and a fix for the memory leak on saving.

But they also mention that patch #2 is just around the corner and it will be focused on performance.

What are your specs? Split screen is not great right now but definitely playable for me and I’m doing it at 4K

[–] paddirn 7 points 1 year ago

An insane patch for an insane game.

Biggest issue I came across though was with Cross-saves not behaving properly and there seems to be some weird issue with Steam Cloud saves not uploading correctly. I had been trying to play between PC and my Steam Deck, but this just completely killed that for me as it was so unpredictable and kept giving me problems. I've now just settled on having two separate playthroughs going on at once, to avoid having to use cross-saving altogether.

Looks like they fixed the chest of the mundane for act 3. Too bad I already tossed all my cups and bowls away. It also says it fixed a bug where it changed the weight of items in the chest? So the reason everyone used it was a bug? Guess I'll find out since I threw all my camp supplies in it and they were heavy as fuck.

[–] ratz30 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pro tip, you can just leave your camp supplies in your camp traveller's chest and be able to rest no problem. Don't even need to take them out of the chest.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well damn, that works even better. Been hauling all this food around thinking I needed to have it in my inventory.

[–] ratz30 10 points 1 year ago

It's really one of those things they ought to have a tooltip or tutorial popup for.

[–] CaptPretentious 1 points 1 year ago

Wait, Mindy and Hal be friends now! Game is now unplayable!
