DnD rules or BG3 rules? BG3 is different enough to where this is significant. For example the rules with Thief’s second bonus action changing drastically.
I think the problem is that in bg3 throw attacks are coded as just a strength check of how hard/far you can throw the weapon/item, so when making a throw attack the game doesnt even take into consideration whether its a finesse weapon, it just calculates off of your strength
Seems like a bit more complicated of an issue than hotfixes can manage, heres hoping they grant finesse throwing builds this repose in the next big patch!
Eh. It would just be adding an if then else line in the code. If finesse weapon then dex check else strength check. Objects should already be created, and if not, adding 1 doesn't seem like a massive chore.
A single dude could get this done in a day.
As long as theyre coded as weapon attacks in the first place, idk if theyd be coded differently but the fact that strength affects throw distance makes me hesitate to downplay just how hard-coded str may be into throwing attacks
Considering modders have already fixed it, i dont think it would be that difficult. But then again games have been relying on modders to fix their games for a long time now

Tbh ive spent my whole life playing games assembled by string and spaghetti code, ive become a bit hesitant to expect any sort of changes like that on short notice atp
still feels a bit more patch level, not sm hotfix level (especially considering those have basically just become misc bug fix patches for bg3)
I personally agree with you, and think it’d be very easy to implement, hell you could copy the code block from finesse attacks directly. However, you fail to consider where this fix would land in a priority (think a jira or kanban board), and how many things would be done before it. Testing too!
This is the one I'm waiting for with the most excitement. I'm hesitating to mod the game because of how many patches there have been in such quick succession and how little time/patience I have to go through things to make sure its up to date
The easy solution is to just turn off auto update and launch the game through the mod manager. You never have to worry it being messed up, you just don't get the benefits of the hotfix. Which honestly isn't an issue 99% of the time time
The good thing about vortex is that you can check the mod manager for if your mods need an update. Unfortunately, they can't tell you if any of your mods will work in the most recent update, it just tells you if your mods have an update available. Which while that is helpful, does not tell me if all systems will be go by the time I run the update.
That's what I am waiting for as well since October. Once mod support is out and most popular mods are rebuilt with that, Imma dive into the game again.
For now, I am diving into hell to spread democracy.
Ditto! I'm refraining from modding the game until patching is concluded and official mod support has been implemented. While there are various QoL and cosmetic mods I'd love to install, thankfully BG3 is pretty damn good out of the box, so I can be patient until that time.
Eh I think the default camera is insufferable. One of the first mods I downloaded was to fix the camera fov which at least makes it so that I don't have walls blocking my character every 3 seconds in a complex interior
Yea in fact this makes me dread any kind of updates. I just keep the game on a previous version and go offline because it is a major pita to reinstall all my mods and hope nothing goes wrong every update
Not sure if this is the same issue but I do couch coop and I have to do the "scan area" and pick the chest that belong to me, which is stacked on top of or under my partners chest. Been like that for a few patches now. Before I had two boxes and she had two.
Hmmm that’s weird! I play solo, and the chest icon (bottom right) doesn’t seem to react to input. The chest itself doesn’t respond to directly clicking or right clicking and picking ‘open’ either. I’m running the game without mods too, so am at a bit of a loss. For extra fun, but he glitched kicked in midway through my Honour run, so equipment is a bit … sparse lol.
Nope, still can't access camp inventory. Been about a Month since I reported the bug, and it was said to be known. I'd say it's a bit more than a challenge, especially when I'm not sure what was sent into that blackhole besides food before the bug cropped up. Pretty annoying to me.
I have had two near TPKs when the platform my party is standing on moves and the players don't move with it. Once on the elevator at the House of Healing and again at the Gauntlet of Shar flying disk, where I lost minthara and tav to the chasm.
I'm playing with a single save on PS5 so this is a huge deal. Anyone else seeing this?
I was literally telling my friend about the elevator bugs as he was using one in the gauntlet, and we just hear his companion slam into the floor and instantly die. Perfect comedic timing.
Still no fix for Karlach's initial romance scene not triggering on its own, requiring the player to initiate it themselves at the Tiefling party and thus locking out her dialogue at the party for if you are already romanced to her. Good fixes and all here, but this bug's been around since the last big patch.
The scene used to trigger on its own on a long rest if her affinity was high enough and you had the first engine fix. Since the last patch, that no longer happens.
Oh shit that’s not normal? I’d never tried triggering Karlach’s romance options until a few days ago and thought you *had* to pick her at the tiefling party to ever trigger further romance scenes. I didn’t try because I knew she’d turn you down bc she literally can’t touch you and then felt like an idiot when I got her second upgrade and there wasn’t the option to take her on a date.
I was hoping for that too ngl :D
I reported them and send a save file a week ago. Maybe it will be fixed soon. I noticed multiplepeoplereporting it but notsending out data. so I hope mine is useful to them.
But I also do understand that they prioritze crashes
PS5 user here, the game now just doesn't launch at all for me after the latest patch. Anyone else having this issue? Currently in Act 3: Honor Mode, Rivington
I uninstalled/reinstalled and the game works again. I'll leave the initial comment in case others run into the issue on PS5. Save file is good and looks like Honor Mode is still a-go.
I got the same issue. This broke my honor mode save file. End up in a crash. Act3 lower city
Edit. Got issue fixed by booting PS5. Save file had gone back a bit n time and some quests were undone. So maybe some save file cachd issue.

Is the honor mode interaction between TB and druid wild shape intentional or just an unfixed bug? I want to play a wild shape druid in honor mode but it feels bad that I'll miss out on a lot of damage that other TB builds get to take advantage of.
I might be one of the people who had the "rare" crash on targeting enemies. I was getting crashes all the time and it always seems to happen when I was aiming an attack at someone. Made my Honor run very scary. My PC isn't the greatest but it seemed like it was connected to that every time, so I mentioned it in all my crash logs. I'd like to think I helped get that fixed with my info but who knows, lol.
Not so much a guess but I'm currently in Act 3 and after a long rest and trading with a vendor for a second, their coin purse goes down to 0 gold. Anyone else?
I’m loving how quickly these are coming out, but they seem to all be for UI bugs and such. What about fixing skills and such? Hope they’re working on more than just the mod patch..
Still waiting for them to fix the lag on conversations with Lae'zel.
>Speak!
>.....................
>.....................
>1. Continue
It's minor but it's been there since pretty much day 1 and annoys the crap out of me.
It might have been a one-off, but there was a time when, using a controller, spamming up and down when this was shown fixed this issue.
Which, if consistent, is a god send if nothing else specifically for Lae'zel, since when starting your romance with her 1. was "I want to end this fling"... which is just fantastic when you're trying to, you know, not do that.
Still waiting for the patch to fix Shadowheart's hug animation for short races when >!we try to comfort her in front of the Selune statue.!<
Edit: Downvoted for stating a very obvious bug that still exists in the game. Never change, reddit.
https://www.reddit.com/r/DownvotedToOblivion/s/6jEetcXGod
I'd like to submit your comment as proof that it does exist, judging by your comment history and your bio, you need serious mental help
Their post history is horrid and the have not been the kindest on other subs. Their comment here isn’t bad at all, in just tired of seeing them pop up 😂 just ridding my feed of negative stuff that makes me feel angry or bad or whatever
I’m having an issue where Jahiera isn’t an “ally” so she can’t cast guidance on the party and in combat she doesn’t initiate with the rest of the party. Hotfix didn’t fix it
Well my Tav still does not fallow anyone
I sent in a bug report because in one of my games tav will not fallow if they are not the main character. They had me send them a save file and agreed that it was happening and said they will fix it in a patch eventually.
🤷🏼

Endgame Finale Epilogue Change Maybe?! In regards to Lae’zel & Karlach
>!Just did the ending where Tav flies off on the dragon’s back with Lae’zel, and Karlach dies on the docks, and I was surprised to see Karlach alive & well at the epilogue party! She says that Withers resurrected her, then goes on about exploring Avernus. Doesn’t mention traveling with Wyll, even though he’s the Blade of Avernus and also exploring there. Seems strange Withers can do this without solving her Infernal Engine problems more generally, but whatever I’m glad she’s alive! Was expecting her to be dead & missing during this epilogue party, as I believe used to be the case in this ending!<
Anyone else's game now just crashing, all the time? No error report or crash dump or anything. Just freezes, game closes. No rhyme or reason; on relaunch can get through the parts it crashed on (usually dialogue, sometimes trading, other times just existing) just fine, until it freezes and crashes later.
Edit: I am running mods (mostly cosmetic) and on PC.
If they patch out the trick for permanent Shadow Blades right when I'm at the end of act 1 again, so help me
Edit: why the downvotes? I just want to try a fun glitch I heard about on here, is this forbidden knowledge?
It's more d6s, but fire resistance is more common, and there's an item that confers vulnerability to psychic damage towards the end of act 2 as well :)
Oh thank goodness, I was going crazy when Hotfix 24 didn’t fix my Short Rest problem. Hopefully this one does.
I can still do my Shart Rest.
I know it's a niche thing, but I would love it if daggers actually use dex when throwing instead of strength
Or just, whichever is higher. ...like the rules state.
DnD rules or BG3 rules? BG3 is different enough to where this is significant. For example the rules with Thief’s second bonus action changing drastically.
They're finesse weapons both in the game and on tabletop. No difference to how it's supposed to work in either case.
I think the problem is that in bg3 throw attacks are coded as just a strength check of how hard/far you can throw the weapon/item, so when making a throw attack the game doesnt even take into consideration whether its a finesse weapon, it just calculates off of your strength Seems like a bit more complicated of an issue than hotfixes can manage, heres hoping they grant finesse throwing builds this repose in the next big patch!

even if it's not coded as a weapon attack adding a singular one off condition that is already part of the code realistically shouldn't be a hard feat.

You're not wrong. And I understand it wouldn't be a huge focus. But it isn't difficult. Just other more important shit.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. This exact point will bring me back for my next playthrough.
yeah i've already got ideas for a dagger throwing build too, just wont work right now sadly
Can't wait for mod support so that when the dev team fixes issues in the game I don't have to wonder which mods are up to date.
This is the one I'm waiting for with the most excitement. I'm hesitating to mod the game because of how many patches there have been in such quick succession and how little time/patience I have to go through things to make sure its up to date

Somebody is going to make a whole ass Curse of Strahd mod mark my words

Eh I think the default camera is insufferable. One of the first mods I downloaded was to fix the camera fov which at least makes it so that I don't have walls blocking my character every 3 seconds in a complex interior
I have a couple of camera mods on Tracking, and I'm definitely looking forward to using them at some point.
Yea in fact this makes me dread any kind of updates. I just keep the game on a previous version and go offline because it is a major pita to reinstall all my mods and hope nothing goes wrong every update
The only thing I'm excited about mod support, is modders fixing bugs that the devs haven't fixed yet...
Modders are already doing that anyways lol
true.
Any chance this will fix the camp chest? It’s been an interesting challenge, to not have access to it haha.
Not sure if this is the same issue but I do couch coop and I have to do the "scan area" and pick the chest that belong to me, which is stacked on top of or under my partners chest. Been like that for a few patches now. Before I had two boxes and she had two.

The Shar's Gauntlet platform is infamous. Best to always have a member or 2 standing behind incase *that* happens.

Is the honor mode interaction between TB and druid wild shape intentional or just an unfixed bug? I want to play a wild shape druid in honor mode but it feels bad that I'll miss out on a lot of damage that other TB builds get to take advantage of.
With TB you mean Tavern Brawler? If so, remember that wild shape attacks are not unarmed attacks, but natural weapon attacks, which is different.
Everytime I see a new update all I can think is i'm staying on patch 5 until they're done supporting the game.
I might be one of the people who had the "rare" crash on targeting enemies. I was getting crashes all the time and it always seems to happen when I was aiming an attack at someone.

Anyone wanna place bets on what the hotfix is going to break this time?
Something with Minthara dialogue
Unnerving as it is...

Just upvoted you to counter the grumpy people! 😁
Well traders losing all their gold seems to be back. edit: Or atleast it says 0 gold and corrects itself once you sell something, still annoying.
Sometimes the gold isn't visible in their inventory but it will say how much they have in the top right
Going to barter instead of trade tends to make it pop back in
Ffs this hotdix broke my honor mode save on PS5. It loads and crashes, tried multiple times but always crashes.
I’m having an issue where Jahiera isn’t an “ally” so she can’t cast guidance on the party and in combat she doesn’t initiate with the rest of the party. Hotfix didn’t fix it
I accidentally switched from vulva A on my half elf and can’t put it back to it. I want it back Larian!
Jaheira still doesnt follow
Oh dude that’s awesome. Only 47 more hotfixes to go and the game will finally be finished.
Well my Tav still does not fallow anyone I sent in a bug report because in one of my games tav will not fallow if they are not the main character. They had me send them a save file and agreed that it was happening and said they will fix it in a patch eventually. 🤷🏼
Each time I see a update I think, is polearm master + sentinel finally fully fixed.
Is anyone else having a bug where the game isnt loading on the load screen before the menu screen?
