A select group of players were invited to take part in Larian Studios’ stress test for Patch 8, which is still ongoing. However, Larian has already put together an update that addresses some of the bugs that have been uncovered in Patch 8.As laid out in a new post by Larian Studios, there don’t appear to be any game-breaking bugs in Patch 8. But there are issues that have come up in several areas, including the newly added Photo Mode. Now, creatures will supposedly obey the “look at the camera” command, and dragonborn won’t lose their tails in the pictures. Cross-play is another big addition of Patch 8, which is meant to connect players from consoles and PCs. This update only has a small number of fixes, but Larian notes that “we are still investigating instances of cross-play not working as intended.” Other changes are meant to smooth out unintended effects, including an “issue causing the Flaming Fist armor to clip and generally freak out a bit.”Patch 8 Update 1 is expected to go live later today, but only for Baldur’s Gate 3 players who were invited to take part in the stress test. Everyone else will get the complete Patch 8 after it receives refinement from Larian. After Larian wraps up its work on Patch 8, the studio will turn its full attention to its next project, codenamed Excalibur. Baldur’s Gate 3 is almost certainly going to get a sequel, which will be developed by another studio.You can find the Patch 8 Update 1 notes below. Got a news tip or want to contact us directly?
