• Fixed Shadowheart getting a Narrator line not appropriate to her background when leaving the Shadow-Cursed Lands.
• If you fail to save the prisoners from Moonrise Towers and then gain audience with the Absolute, the prisoners will no longer be zombified and then killed and thrown into the Oubliette. They should now just be present in the Colony’s Necrotic Laboratory.

• When rescuing Minsc at the end of Jaheira’s questline, the game will now default to selecting the character of whichever player is in control of Jaheira for the conversation, rather than whoever is nearest.

• Fixed an infinitely looping dialogue in Sorcerous Sundries.

• Fixed a bug where it was possible to get stuck in a dialogue with the Emperor about killing Gortash if you clicked on Gortash’s corpse with Karlach (which starts a dialogue, after which she leaves the party and goes to camp) while, with another character, you also clicked on Gortash’s body and sent his gauntlet to Karlach via the context menu right before her dialogue ended and she left the party. Yep. You can read it again if you want.
• Fixed a rare issue preventing Ravengard from properly joining combat in the Iron Throne escape sequence.
• Fixed a flow issue at the end of the game where players with romantic partners would get a cinematic reserved for solo players.
• Devella will no longer disappear from Figaro’s after killing Dolor under very specific conditions.
• On the Dark Urge’s resist-Bhaal path, fixed a rare edgecase where Orin’s Netherstone dagger did not appear on her. It should now appear in Orin’s gore pile or near the temple altar.
• You can no longer summon Scratch in the epilogue using Find Familiar. This was preventing you from interacting with him.
• In the epilogue, Minsc should now account for the edgecase of Happy not being there.
• Fixed Scratch’s spawn point in the Elfsong Tavern camp.
• If you fail a pickpocket attempt at High Hall, your allies will no longer become hostile towards you. We reminded them that the fate of the world lies in the balance and that you play a pretty big part in it, thief or not.

  • DLAA: Fixed an issue where enabling DLAA when the sharpness slider was set to a high value (>0.5) would cause the output image to be over-sharpened. Now, when DLAA is enabled, the sharpness slider and value are set to a safe default value that does not cause an over-sharpened image.
