The fantasy role-playing game Baldur's Gate 3 from developers from Larian Studios today, February 29, received its third patch since the sixth major patch, which was released almost two weeks ago.

The new, already 20th, patch for Baldur's Gate 3 is designed to eliminate a number of bugs and errors (including those that blocked further progress), including those that players complained about.
So, for example, the dark elf Mintara will stop being too independent in the second/third act and will begin to correctly follow the party. In the past, Shadowheart was weaned off such behavior.

The developers have also introduced several safeguards to prevent Baldur's Gate 3 from crashing if a save load fails (players will be returned to the main menu), and have fixed a crash when preloading complex cutscenes.
Other notable changes:
in local co-op, the second player will no longer be forced to watch a black screen for 30 seconds; characters who claimed to be too busy to talk to the hero were actually lying – now they will be available for dialogue; fixed hidden loophole related to money; Fixed trick with endless loot when searching the body of the driver Skaryall; in the process of trading, it will now be possible to open a chest (like a camp chest) by choosing another character to manage; Halsin will begin to correctly move to his position after the player arrives at the Last Light tavern (second act); Fixed a bug due to which the environment did not take its turn in battle; missing textures were added to the trading interface; the developers have removed filters in the trade menu – they will return in a future patch after additional checks; At certain angles in videos, visual artifacts will no longer appear on characters' faces.

The twentieth patch for Baldur's Gate 3 is already available on PC, Mac (the sixth patch has finally reached Apple computers) and PS5, while the version for Xbox Series X and S is delayed due to stability issues.
Baldur's Gate 3 left early access on PC (Steam, GOG) in August 2023, and has since appeared on macOS and consoles. The other day Larian mentioned that sales of the game were “significantly more” than 10 million copies.
