Baldurs Gate 3 Update V4.1.1.3630146-rune -
The RUNE group has released update v4.1.1.3630146 for Larian Studios’ critically acclaimed RPG, Baldur’s Gate 3. This update corresponds to the official Patch 7 Hotfix released by the developers. Following the massive structural changes introduced in Patch 7 (which added evil endings and modding tools), this subsequent update focuses on stability, crash recovery, and squashing lingering bugs that slipped through the initial patch deployment.
For players utilizing the RUNE release, this update ensures the game is running the most stable version currently available, resolving several progression-blocking issues and graphical glitches.
1. Crash Recovery and Stability The primary focus of this hotfix was addressing unexpected crashes, specifically those occurring during Level Up or while loading into new regions. The update introduces better error handling for "GPU Crashes" related to Shader Model 6.6, offering automatic fallbacks to prevent the game from terminating unexpectedly.

2. Modding Tool Fixes (Mod Fixer) With Patch 7 introducing the official Modding Toolkit, v4.1.1.3630146 addresses a critical issue where the "Mod Fixer" mod was inadvertently activated for unmodded saves. This caused errors for players who were not even using mods. This update cleans up the mod management pipeline, ensuring a smoother experience for both modded and vanilla playthroughs.

4. Graphical & UI Improvements

| Location | Old Version (v3624901) | New Version (v3630146) | Delta | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Lower City (Baldur’s Gate) | 38-45 FPS | 52-60 FPS | +28% | | Wyrm’s Rock Fortress | 42 FPS average | 58 FPS average | +38% | | Grove (Act 1) | 88 FPS | 86 FPS | No change | | Character Sheet UI | 30 FPS lock | 60 FPS lock | Smoother | this subsequent update focuses on stability
Verdict: The memory leak fixes in build 3630146 are legitimate. The RUNE release correctly implements these, making Act 3 playable on systems with 6GB VRAM or less.
