Baldur's Gate 3 Hotfix 10 Solves Follower Bugs and Controller Sliders

Hotfix 10 for Baldur's Gate 3 fixes pathfinding issues with Shadowheart, audio desyncs for Astarion, and broken controller sliders for character creation. The update also squashes several crash vectors and combat stalling bugs.

Larian Studios deployed Hotfix 10 for Baldur's Gate 3, targeting companion behavior, interface bugs, and specific combat freezes.

Companion and Dialogue Fixes

Shadowheart now properly follows the party instead of getting distracted by vistas. Astarion's dialogue no longer suffers from voice and subtitle desyncs. The scene with Vlaakith in the crèche no longer makes player characters appear on literal fire.

Controller and Interface Corrections

Sliders for eye makeup and tattoo intensity now function correctly when using a controller. The waypoints menu opens as intended when triggered from the Character Sheet via controller. Furthermore, picking up a single item as a ware no longer forces all subsequent items to default to wares.

Combat and Technical Stability

The patch resolves a Vulkan crash that caused a DEVICE_LOST error when minimising the window. Male dwarf barbarians regain missing textures on their shoes, which previously looked like big blueberries. In Ramazith's Tower, enemies trying to fly from lower floors to reach players above no longer get stuck during combat.

Why this patch matters

Hotfix 10 cleans up irritating companion pathing flaws and controller interface frustrations, making party management much smoother.
