Incoming Bug Fixes

Along with the new features, we’re continuing to clean up animation pops, clipping, and have fixed bugs, including the likes of:

● Fixed a savegame issue where you wouldn't get the appropriate amount of Umbral Gems for the Gauntlet of Shar.
● Fixed an issue causing you to get stuck at a 0% loading screen when attempting to join a multiplayer session that uses mods.
● Your character will no longer think Shadowheart is dead if she isn't when talking to Viconia.
● Halsin will now show up to your camp in Act II as long as you save him, even if you happen to skip the celebration with the tieflings at camp.
● Improved performance in the Adamantine Forge.
● Minthara will now comment on the Emperor's reveal.
● Cerys will stop getting involved in combats with Minthara from across the region. An eager beaver no longer.
● We’ve also reminded Minthara that 'knocked out' does not mean 'dead', so she'll more reliably appear in Moonrise Towers.
● Fixed companions' lines getting cut off prematurely after Gale the Emperor's at the end of the game.
● Fixed a bug preventing Wyll from commenting on Astarion holding a blade to your throat during Astarion's recruitment dialogue by the beach.
● Barcus is no longer Mike Wazowski'd by various items like cauldrons and bottles blocking him off from view when you talk to him at Last Light.

New Subclasses

Soon there will be 12 new ways to experience Baldur’s Gate 3 - a new subclass is being added for each of the 12 classes in the game, complete with new VFX and animations that we teased in Community Update #31.

Photo Mode

Patch 8 also introduces photo mode, so get ready to smile for the camera, or if you’re like Karlach, stare into the middle-distance as you contemplate all your past mistakes.

While you’re adventuring around the Sword Coast, you’ll be able to toggle photo mode on or off and play around with a multitude of options for the party you’ve brought along with you, including during combat encounters. Position them to your liking, change facial expressions to fit the scene, and play around with the camera, lens, and scene settings.

During dialogues and cinematic scenes, you won’t be able to alter the camera or position your party, but you will have access to a whole bunch of post-processing effects, such as colour-grading settings, frames, and stickers, that can be used whether you’re tottering around Baldur’s Gate, or kissing your beloved.

To give you a taste of the poses available in photo mode, we’re paying homage to some of your finest memes, moments, and masterpieces. Check them out below, and be sure to drop by the original creator’s work to show your appreciation!
