Larian Studios has just rolled out Hotfix #20 for Baldur’s Gate 3, and it comes with some notable improvements, including a fix for the spirited drow, Minthara.

In this update, Minthara is still her free-spirited self, but a bug causing her reluctance to follow the party in Act 2 or Act 3 has been addressed.
Larian assures players that while her rebellious nature remains, she will now keep up with the group as intended.

Beyond Minthara’s adjustment, Hotfix #20 tackles various issues to enhance the overall gaming experience. Notable fixes include addressing a black screen glitch for second players in split-screen mode, resolving combat progression halts due to environmental issues, and curbing a few infinite money exploits.

Here are some key highlights from the patch notes:

• Enhanced crash safeguards for savegame loading issues.
• Resolved split-screen black screen glitches.
• Fixed container trading bug and associated money exploit.
• Addressed environmental turn-taking issues in combat.
• Rectified combat lock-up after defeating Cazador’s bats.
