"Baldur’s Gate 3: Theft and Violence Cause Game-Slowdown Woes"

Baldur's Gate 3 players experienced increased performance issues in Act 3 due to a bug caused by Patch 4, which resulted in the game constantly thinking about unnoticed thefts and acts of violence, leading to slowdowns. Developer Larian Studios has addressed the issue in Patch 5, scheduled for release this week, and has also announced the upcoming Xbox release date for Baldur's Gate 3 at the Game Awards on December 7. The game has been highly successful since its PC release, receiving critical acclaim for its combat, story, presentation, and exploration.
