Baldur's Gate 3 Hotfix 19 Resolves Tactician Mode Bugs, Crashes, and UI Glitches

Baldur's Gate 3 Hotfix 19 is now available for PC and consoles, addressing issues with Tactician Mode condition removal, Xbox invite handling, and combat crashes. The patch also restores slider numbers in character creation.

Larian Studios released Hotfix 19 for Baldur's Gate 3 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The update targets specific progression snags, interface issues, and crashes tied to specific character turns and modded saves.

Gameplay and Mechanics Fixes

Conditions on items in Tactician Mode now correctly remove when changing to an easier difficulty. Group Hide no longer affects ungrouped party members. Slider numbers return to character creation by popular demand.

Platform and Multiplayer Corrections

Xbox user and controller assignments are corrected, and multiplayer invites are handled properly. A performance issue when initiating a trade on Honour Mode is resolved. A potential softlock when triggering the Reaction UI inside the Multiplayer UI is fixed.

Combat Crashes and Dialogue Glitches

A crash occurring on Minthara's turn during combat in the Emerald Grove is fixed. Crashes linked to loading modded savegames with unknown conditions and selecting spells with active Metamagic and filters are resolved. Cut-off dialogue lines with the Flaming Fists at Waukeen's Rest and the talking door in Auntie Ethel's lair are corrected. Romance kiss animations for Minthara and Lae'zel now align properly.

Why this patch matters

Hotfix 19 is a targeted maintenance patch that smooths out annoying platform bugs and specific combat crashes without introducing new content.
