Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix 36 Released on March 26 as Update 1.800.801
While Larian Studios is busy working on the new Divinity game, the devs haven’t abandoned Baldur’s Gate 3 just yet. Today, the studio has pushed out Hotfix 36 for the RPG, which targets technical issues.
Console gamers will see this as Baldur’s Gate 3 update 1.800.801, and this includes platform-specific fixes as well.
For those experiencing framerate drops and even crashing when loading a saved game, this patch should resolve that issue.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Framerate Drop and Crash From Savegame Resolved via Update 1.800.801
Larian notes, “Our last small update, which aimed to resolve corrupted savegames affecting a number of players, seemed to have also introduced some performance issues that triggered crashes. Thank you for your patience while these were investigated!”
The complete list of fixes is as follows:

- Fixed several crashes.
- Fixed a bug on Xbox where tooltips in the Inventory and Trade windows wouldn’t display correctly.
- Fixed a bug on Mac preventing you from progressing past Character Creation after starting a character introduction cinematic on Honour Mode.
