Baldur Gate 3 Hotfix 24 Restores Short Rests and Fixes Mac Performance

Larian Studios has released Hotfix 24 for Baldur Gate 3, resolving a progression bug tied to Us and addressing performance drops on Mac systems.

Larian Studios has pushed out Hotfix 24 for Baldur Gate 3, targeting stability, performance issues on Mac computers, and a specific bug that blocked players from taking short rests.

Short Rest and Us Fixes

A bug that locked certain players out of taking a short rest after adding and dismissing the intellect devourer Us with a companion party member has been fixed. Additionally, Us will no longer spawn randomly at camp or near waypoints.

Mac Performance Fix

The update resolves an issue introduced in a previous hotfix that caused lower frame rates and performance drops for players on Mac hardware.

Stability Improvements

Larian included a fix for a crash that could occur right after the cinematic transition between Act II and Act III.

Why this patch matters

Hotfix 24 is a small, targeted maintenance patch that directly resolves critical progression blockers and Mac performance regressions.
