Baldur's Gate 3 hotfix #4 update full patch notes, fixes for several bugs, crashes, blockers, and more

Larian Studios has deployed another major hotfix for its critically acclaimed fantasy role-playing game, Baldur's Gate 3. The latest update aims to correct many of the issues that were introduced into the game with the previous title update, including several instances of crashes due to shader incompatibility, along with progression blockers and more.

The hotfix #4 was previously rolled out due to a build error that caused frequent crashes and incompatibility with save data for many players. Larian Studios had rolled back Baldur's Gate 3 to hotfix #3 as they worked on fixing issues that were introduced with the last update.

With the issues now rectified, Larian Studios has redeployed the hotfix #4 for all players. The studio is also working on a new method of deploying future updates to prevent such critical errors with mandatory title updates for Baldur's Gate 3 and its future projects.
