Larian Studios has released Update 1.800.306 for Baldur’s Gate 3, which follows the game’s final major patch. This update, also known as Patch 8, introduces full cross-play functionality, allowing players to connect and explore the Forgotten Realms together regardless of platform. Alongside this milestone, Hotfix #32 addresses multiple stability issues, including crashes related to input mode transitions, split-screen play using DLSS on Vulkan, and platform-specific cross-play synchronization.
In addition to performance enhancements, the patch resolves several gameplay and user interface issues. These include visual bugs in multiplayer sessions, subclass ability disruptions, and unintended save file deletions. Improvements also extend to modding support, where a toolkit crash has been resolved, and various UI inconsistencies have been corrected for both keyboard and controller users. Visual errors affecting armor models on certain character types were also addressed to ensure a smoother, more immersive experience.
