Baldur’s Gate 3 has a new patch that you need to download right away. That’s because Hotfix 21 resolves numerous crashing issues, especially the crash that occurs when changing the selected character multiple times in a row.
Hotfix 21 also brings some needed improvements. For instance, you can now drag items into a character’s inventory even if it’s empty. Additionally, you can now drop items in the custom Hotbar, giving you easy access to the items that you need the most.
The developers pointed out an issue regarding containers as well. In the previous hotfix, some of your party members forgot to close containers even after dropping items into them. This is now addressed.
A couple of overlapping issues have been resolved too. For one, item icons no longer overlap in a single cell in your inventory when trying to equip something that is already equipped by another character. Furthermore, splitting an item stack in the party panel no longer causes portraits of your followers or summons to overlap the user interface.
