Baldur's Gate 3, the critically acclaimed RPG, recently faced performance slowdowns due to a bug introduced in Patch 4. Larian Studios has announced that Patch 5, set for release this week, will resolve these issues. Players experienced lag in Act 3, especially due to the game’s inability to forget unnoticed thefts and acts of vandalism, which overburdened the game’s performance. The issue was that these unnoticed actions remained active within the game’s system indefinitely, causing a buildup that led to in-game slowdown.

Larian Studios has fixed the problem and anticipates a smoother gaming experience with the upcoming patch. Moreover, as the gaming community eagerly awaits additional news, Baldur’s Gate 3 is set to announce its Xbox release date at the Game Awards on December 7. The studio is also hinting at the reveal of their next big project.

Baldur's Gate 3 has been a commercial success, receiving critical praise for its compelling story, deep RPG mechanics, and polished presentation. Larian Studios celebrated seven wins at the recent Golden Joystick Awards and has received eight nominations for the Game Awards. Gamers are looking forward to the ongoing improvements and future content from the celebrated developer.
