Developer Larian Studios released the latest hotfix #33 for turn-based cRPG Baldur’s Gate 3. Despite the major patch 8 already being out for a while, the developers don’t abandon their creations and continue releasing hotfixes periodically.
The hotfix highlights include fixes for some persistent game crashes, tackling the bugging character portraits, and solving the lag problem experienced when navigating the radial menu with the controller.
Additionally, the developers note that players who had experienced the “A task was cancelled error” should find it resolved now.
