Steam Deck Gets Native Treatment
The standout feature? A fresh native build tailored for Steam Deck users. This means Baldur's Gate III runs more efficiently on the handheld, cutting down load times and hiccups during those intense turn-based battles. If you've been playing on Deck, this could transform your portable sessions into something truly seamless.
Performance Tweaks for Everyone
Beyond the Deck, the hotfix optimizes model streaming across all platforms, which should reduce stuttering and improve overall fluidity. Players dealing with crashes, especially on Xbox, will appreciate the stability fixes—no more mid-quest interruptions. It's a smart move that keeps the focus on storytelling and strategy rather than technical woes.

From gameplay glitches like wonky combat conditions and AI quirks to audio tweaks and cinematic polish, this patch addresses a variety of issues. Spellcasting feels more reliable, and those pesky crashes are history. For mod enthusiasts, there are handy tips on managing saves and mods with the new Deck version.
