The recent update for Baldur’s Gate 3, known as Patch 8, has brought significant enhancements, including the introduction of 12 new subclasses aimed at enriching players’ experiences and allowing for greater customization within various classes. However, many players are facing an issue where these new subclasses are not accessible, causing some frustration among the community.
In addition to the subclass enhancements, Patch 8 also includes cross-platform multiplayer capabilities, an innovative photo mode to capture gameplay moments, and an expanded modding toolkit designed to spark creativity among users. Despite these advancements, players on both consoles and PC have reported difficulties in viewing and utilizing the newly added subclasses. Fortunately, solutions are available for those affected by this problem.
How to Resolve Subclass Visibility Issues in Patch 8 of Baldur’s Gate 3
A common fix identified by players experiencing the subclass visibility issue is to disable mods. Before taking this step, it is crucial to ensure that your character is at the required level to access the new subclass features. Below is a summary of the level requirements for each class and their respective subclasses:
Level Requirements
Class: Subclass
One
Cleric: Death Domain, Sorcerer: Shadow Magic, Paladin: Oath of the Crown, Warlock: Hexblade
Two
Druid: Circle of Stars, Wizard: Bladeswinging
Three
Barbarian: Path of the Giant, Bard: College of Glamour, Fighter: Arcane Archer, Monk: Way of the Drunken Master, Ranger: Swarmkeeper, Rogue: Swashbuckler
If you have met the level requirements yet are still unable to access the new subclasses, it is recommended to uninstall any active mods and restart the game. Compatibility issues exist between certain mods and the new subclasses, leading to the errors being encountered.
For players heavily invested in modding, an alternative exists. There are widespread reports that the IMP-UI mod, a popular user interface improvement tool, may be responsible for the subclass visibility issues. If you are utilizing this mod, removing it from your setup may resolve the problem. Should that approach fail, check for other mods that may also utilize or depend on IMP-UI and consider removing those as well.
If troubleshooting through the IMP-UI mod does not yield results, try to identify and remove any mods related to alterations in class abilities, such as certain Warlock or Necromancer mods.
In cases where these adjustments still do not rectify the issue, a more extensive approach may be necessary. This could involve removing all mods and subsequently checking periodically to see if the subclasses become available again. It may sound tedious, but it could lead to a swift resolution. Alternatively, choosing to delete all mods at once can save time.
However, players should remain optimistic, as these bugs are likely to be temporary. The modding community is proactive, and updates are frequently rolled out to ensure compatibility with new game content. Once the updates are implemented, players will be able to reinstall their favorite mods and continue enjoying Baldur’s Gate 3 in full.
