Long-suffering 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 players on Xbox are finally getting a fix for the game's broken saves, and it seems 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft is having to issue an entire console firmware update t💃o get the problem under control.

"Microsoft have identified the cause of the save bug on Xbox, and will be issuing a firmware update to fix it," developer Larian says on . "You'll be able to update your console manually on the 16th of January, or wait a w🌌eek longer for the update to roll out globally. Although we haven’t been able to independently verify this fix, we&rs✨quo;re optimistic that Microsoft have gotten to the bottom of it!"

Players have been 𝕴reporting save issues pretty much since♛ Baldur's Gate 3 hit Xbox in early December. The cause of the iss🐷ue seemed to be tough for Larian or Microsoft to pin down, but on December 31 the developers issued a explaining the situation. Basically, the game will sometimes think that it's completed a save before꧑ that save is actually written to the drive. You can work around the issue with Larian's cross-save service, but it's been a full month now without a fix.

While the release of Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox was an exciting moment after a long wait, there have been some notable issues with the launch. Not only did players have to deal with corrupt saves, they've also been getting banned for recording - and accidentally uploading - clips of the steamiest romance scenes in R🍌PG. It's a minefield out there.

Baldur's Gate 3's latest hotfix remedies an excruciating softlock near the RPG's end, and guarantees the correct ending for Karlach and Wyll.
