The good news is that after a slight hiccup, Baldur's Gate 3's latest hotfix is available for you to download. In a post over on Steam Larian apologised for the initial issues with the latest patch and has pledged to change the way they approach updates so it doesn't happen again.

The studio also outlined everything that's in the (now fully functional update), so read up on it below! Just be aware of some minor plot spoilers.
