Overview

  • Hotfix 34 is live today, identified as version 4.1.1.6931813 on PC and update 1.800.502 on consoles.
  • The new Steam Deck build replaces the Proton layer, promising better framerate, faster loading, smoother gameplay, and lower CPU and memory use.
  • Steam Deck saves move to a native SteamOS directory, and recent saves sync automatically if Steam Cloud is enabled.
  • Larian says subscribed mods will redownload during the transition to the native build when players are logged into a Larian account.
  • Platform‑wide fixes address crashes, gameplay, audio, and cinematics, and model‑streaming changes aim to cut framerate spikes in busy areas like the Lower City.
