Larian Studios rolled out Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix #4 and its accompanying patch notes on August 16, 2023. As of this latest update, players will no longer be stuck in Long Rest because of companion characters failing to wake up. Long Rest also won’t cause a certain portal in a certain place to disappear when you rest in that area. Among other changes on the list are multiplayer and combat fixes that should make everything flow smoother whether you’re alone or playing with friends. Check out the full list of patch notes below:
CRASHES AND BLOCKERS
- Fixed players getting stuck mid-Long-Rest due to companions not waking up.

FLOW AND SCRIPTING
