Currently, players are exploiting bugs in Baldur's Gate 3 and gaining infinite money as well as other resources. So Hotfix #20 was released, addressing these exploits and fixing additional problems with the game.

Baldur's Gate 3, released in 2023 by Larian Studios, quickly became a widely popular success. This RPG is the third installment in the Baldur's Gate series and is available on Windows, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.

Currently, players are taking advantage of a few serious bugs. So Larian Studios released Hotfix #20 and addressed several infinite money exploits. They also fixed a bug that previously prevented players from accessing containers during trading when selecting a different character. 

Additionally, they resolved an infinite loot issue where players could duplicate Herdmaster Skardjall's Scale Mail by repeatedly removing the Whipping Cane from his body.

Changes made to Hotfix #20 in  Baldur's Gate 3

Here are all the adjustments and changes made to this patch:

  • Implemented safeguards to handle crashes during save-game loading, directing users back to the Main Menu.
  • Resolved issues causing the second player in split-screen mode to encounter a black screen for 30 seconds.
  • Fixed a bug preventing players from opening containers during trading if they selected a different character from the one who initiated the trade, eliminating a money exploit.
  • Addressed a bug where the environment wouldn't take its turn in combat, leading to a progression block.

  • Eliminated an infinite loot bug that duplicated Herdmaster Skardjall's Scale Mail every time the Whipping Cane was removed from his body.
  • Fixed various issues related to character behaviour, including Minthara not following the party and Halsin not moving to his position at Last Light.
  • I corrected an issue where Minthara wouldn't leave the party after being escorted out of Moonrise Towers.
  • Resolved dialogue issues where characters falsely claimed to be too busy to talk.
  • Fixed missing tab textures in the Trade UI.
  • Temporarily hid filter tabs for traders during bartering, pending further testing for reintroduction in a future update.
