In a surprise update, Larian says it has "probably this time really maybe" fixed Baldur's Gate 3's notorious character portrait bug which somehow survived 32 previous hotfixes

Patch 8 has been out for a few months, and Baldur's Gate 3 fans have noted that the infamous portrait bug that has plagued the game since its 2023 release was never squashed – until now, that is (hopefully, anyway).

A few months back, the long-awaited Patch 8 arrived and brought everything to Baldur's Gate 3, from cross-play to 12 new subclasses, such as the Circle of Stars Druid – but it never fixed the bug that transforms Tavs' and their parties' portraits into what fans hilariously had dubbed "Zoom call" shots. Today's hotfix (or "room temperature fix," as Larian Studios jokingly calls it in the official patch notes), standing as the game's 33rd, is here to save the day, though.
