Larian has released another update for Baldur’s Gate 3 with Hotfix 8. We tell you what’s in it!
It hasn’t been long since the seventh hotfix for Baldur’s Gate 3 was released. Now the eighth hotfix is here and it addresses exactly what a lot of players out there want: Companions don’t stuff your inventory with items anymore, as soon as they have to wait in the camp for a while. That’s why a lot of players had complained.
But the update brings some other small things and especially technical improvements for Baldur’s Gate 3 despite its rather small size.
Hotfix 8 is now live for Baldur’s Gate 3. This update addresses several crashes and issues, including your party members transferring every important item to you upon dismissal.
More importantly, we shaved His Majesty.

What’s in hotfix 8 for Baldur’s Gate 3?
As I said: Highlight for the vast majority will probably be the said return to the old behavior of the companions in terms of story items. They keep these now again. This means that their behavior is the same as it was in Update 2, so Larian has reversed the change introduced in Update 3.
Other points that stand out are:
- Various fixes of previous crash causes
- Fixed a visual bug caused by fog interacting with different materials.
- Fixed an issue that could lead to the creation of broken game saves.
- The cat
His majesty
has been shorn and his eye colors have been adjusted. - Twitch drops are also now claimable in all cases on PlayStation 5.

- Eavesdropping attack is no longer triggered when a character is in a character creation, such as leveling up or the magic mirror.
- Fixed a bug in Vulcan that was causing DEVICE_LOST crashes.

- Fixed a crash when reassigning characters in split screen.

- Raphael’s hair color and horns have been restored. The House of Hope is modern again.
