BG3 Patch 8: Extensive Update Undergoes Rigorous Testing
Larian Studios launches a stress test update for Baldur's Gate 3's upcoming Patch 8. This preemptive measure aims to identify and resolve potential issues before the full patch's release. Read on for details on the stress test and what to expect in Patch 8.
Exclusive Access for Testers
The Patch 8 stress test update addresses various bugs, crashes, and scripting errors. A key fix ensures Gale correctly interacts with magical items. Access is limited to those participating in the stress test; the general public must wait for the official Patch 8 release to experience these improvements.
Notable fixes include preserving container contents upon destruction, enhanced screenshot functionality for Steam Deck users, improved pose responsiveness, refined cross-play features, updated Booming Blade tooltip values, and several crash fixes. For a comprehensive list of changes, consult the official Baldur's Gate 3 website.
Patch 8, anticipated as one of Larian's final major updates before concluding their work on Faerûn, promises significant additions. These include platform cross-play, over 12 new subclasses (such as Death Domain Cleric, Path of Giants Barbarian, and Arcane Archer Fighter), and the much-awaited Photo Mode.
Unleash Your Inner Photographer with Photo Mode
While awaiting Patch 8, explore the potential of Photo Mode with Larian's in-depth preview video. The goal is to empower players to fully utilize Photo Mode from the outset.
Accessible almost anywhere – during exploration, combat, and even in multiplayer (for the host) – Photo Mode offers extensive customization. Pose companions and characters freely, include or exclude party members, and even add extra elements (like a frog!). A free-moving camera provides ultimate control over angles.
Post-processing effects, stickers, and frames further enhance your creations. Note that during dialogues and cutscenes, only post-processing effects are available.
This preview is just the beginning; Larian plans a future tutorial video to showcase advanced Photo Mode techniques and inspire creative photography.
