While the previous update was well-intentioned, it introduced a nasty side effect: loading specific saves caused massive framerate drops that eventually led to full-system crashes. Hotfix #36 squashes this regression, ensuring your journey through the Sword Coast remains as smooth as a silver-tongued Bard's persuasion check. This is a critical stability patch for anyone who felt their performance tanking over the last few sessions.
The update also addresses platform-specific frustrations that were hampering the experience for console and Mac players. Xbox users will be relieved to find that tooltips are back in action; a bug had previously rendered them invisible in the Inventory and Trade windows, making gear management a guessing game. Meanwhile, Mac players braving the brutal Honour Mode will no longer be blocked by a cinematic glitch that prevented progress right after character creation.
Beyond these specific fixes, Larian has bundled in several general crash resolutions to improve overall reliability across all platforms. Whether you are deep in the Nine Hells or just starting your quest for a parasite cure, these technical refinements ensure your choices—not your hardware—are the only things impacting your story.
