Folks at Larian Studios are happy because Baldur’s Gate 3 had its highest concurrent player count when Patch 6 was launched earlier this month. That said, the developers are continually improving the game and that is what Hotfix 16 aims to do.
This update is mainly focused on bringing game and crash fixes, but there are other improvements that you can expect as well.
Those who are using Nvidia graphics cards will be stoked to find that the devs have fixed the bug that may cause a crash when enabling both HDR and DLSS. In addition, the scaling issues of the HDR calibration image when DLSS is enabled have been resolved.
For improvements, Wild Magic: Enchant Weapons will now deal critical damage as intended. Night Walker boots will grant immunity to both Entangled and Ensnare, and Ring of Fire will now work on Fire damage from weapon attacks.
