Patch number three addresses a large array of bugs, UI problems, as well as improves the GM mode, sound, and modding.

The Larian Team admitted that this was a huge patch, but continued that “big is good” and that many key problems that had been brought to their attention in the form of feedback have now been sorted out.

Below are some of the highlights of the improvements and changes made to the game. For the full list of fixes made in this patch, they are outlined on Divinity: Original Sin 2’s Steam page.
