What’s changed in Baldur’s Gate 3 Hotfix 24?

Baldur's Gate 3 Us

The biggest change in Hotfix 24 is addressing an issue that prevented players from taking Short Rests. According to Larian, this bug stemmed from adding and dismissing the temporary intellect devourer companion Us with a companion party member and then loading some save games.

Hotfix 24 also fixes some performance issues for Mac users, which the developers say were caused by a Hotfix 21 issue.
