Larian Studios has rolled out the second Baldur's Gate 3 hotfix for March, aimed at addressing various bugs, crashes, and glitches encountered by players. 

Starting from quality-of-life improvements to UI, script, and gameplay. Notably, BG3 Hotfix 22 extends the changes from Hotfixes #20 and #21 to Xbox players, ensuring resolution of issues related to cross-saves.

Baldur's Gate Hotfix #22

Crashes and blockers:

  • I resolved a crash stemming from the game attempting to access the duration of a condition on a character without any conditions set.
  • Rectified instances where conditions would try to obtain their duration from the source entity rather than the target entity.
  • Addressed potential internal crashes on Xbox when suspending the game, leading to a reboot upon return.

UI:

  • Enhanced messaging for syncing and cross-saving, including indicating failed cross-save syncs and adding an option to retry. Additionally, restrict saving and cross-saving messages from appearing for secondary local players.
  • Ensured voice chat no longer overlaps with the minimap on split-screen.
  • Fixed an issue where the 'Another Player Is Joining' pop-up didn't trigger while the host had a panel open on Xbox, potentially hindering client joining.

Scripting:

  • Solved the unintended activation of legacy dialogue, specifically with Minthara seemingly ending a relationship with Dark Urge players who had rejected Bhaal.
  • Minthara no longer repeats her thoughts about Gale in Act III.
  • Fixed a bug causing players to become perpetually stuck in a dangerous area after triggering hostilities in the Emerald Grove and then leaving while it was still hazardous.
  • Resolved an issue causing dialogues to abruptly end when attempting to kiss a romantic partner.
  • Fixed a bug causing players to get stuck in combat with enemies atop Moonrise Towers if they sneaked into the Mind Flayer Colony.

Additionally, Larian Studios found a way to fix the issue with dialogue ending suddenly when you kiss your romantic partner. BG3 continues to introduce changes to Minthara, as she's the companion who started getting recruited later on. So we can expect much smoother gameplay moving forward.
