However, as with just about any video game release, includingBaldur’s Gate 3, post-launch patches are often required to iron out kinks. After all, you could test a game all you want behind closed doors or in early access, but until a game is released into the wild, you can never truly know the extent of any unforeseen issues.

Speaking of which,Baldur’s Gate 3recently received a major patch that intendedto fix over 1,000 bugs and glitches. Sure, that’s an extremely high number, but for a game that requires close totwo hundred hours to completeand reportedly has around17,000 varying endings, the patch notes list was always going to be very sizable.

What’s more, even with the best intentions of releasing a patch that aims to fix reported bugs and glitches, it can also be quite troublesome with unforeseen issues too. Unfortunately, the recent update forBaldur’s Gate 3has fallen into that category.

Larian Studios has acknowledged reports that the update in question is crashing the game for some, going as far as making it unplayable. Furthermore, the developer warned that if you had saved the game since the latest update, you won’t be able to load those saves until a fix is made to the update in question. As a result of the recent woes, Larian Studios has rolled back the update to avoid causing further disruption.
