After working onBaldur’s Gate 3for six years and producing one of the most highly-rated games of all time, you might think Larian’s Christmas party would involve nothing more than sitting back with some eggnog, congratulating each other on a job well done. But you would be wrong.

The RPG’s latest update, Hotfix 14, rolled out in the early hours of this morning, which, according to a tweet by Larian’s creative content manager, Ben Maltz-Jones, was also the very same time said Christmas party was in full swing.

“Team building is doing a hotfix together at the Christmas party,” Maltz-Jones said and shared a photo of himself and Larian’s senior community manager, Salomé Moreira García, both sporting some seriously trendy party outfits, huddled around a mobile phone, presumably gearing up to push go on the hotfix.

“Now we are the ones giving ‘loool never let me drink and have a phone, I will push a hotfix’ energy”, Moreira García joked in the comments.

As for the hotfix itself, according to a post on theofficial Baldur’s Gate 3 website, it fixes several crashes, including one where bibberbangs would bring an explosive end to your game if someone in your party stood too close to one whilst you were trading in the Underdark. There are also a few fixes specifically related to the newly launched Xbox version, and it brings thefeature-packed Patch 5to Mac.
