I have no idea how someone else hasn't posted this here yet, but it looks like Larian announced patch 8. Unfortunately, it won't come until next year (so no crossplay over the holiday break :( ) but it looks pretty good.

Highlights: cross-platform multiplayer, photo mode, 12 new sub-classes.

Also noteworthy: It sounds like they're offering a patch 8 open beta "stress test," with details coming in Jan 2025:

"This time, you’re invited to join us for a period of stress testing, where you can jump in and try out the new subclasses, explore Tav’s best angles in photo mode, and play with friends together on other platforms. Yep, this stress test will be available to those on Xbox and PlayStation, as well as PC!"

I'm, not going to fight the GOG forum system to try to copy/paste everything into here, but you can read the announcement yourself here: https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=954417#Post954417

If this is the actual *final* patch then I am glad Larian will be doing a stress test.
I hope they will be able to hammer out as many bugs as possible in gameplay, crossplay functionality and any specific issues with us GOG PC players.

Holy shit...we're getting 12 new subclasses.

I wonder if we'll get dialogue options associated with each new sub-class.

May there be many more final patches.

Larian releases patches and hotfixes, which in most software terms are actually updates (new content) and patches (fixing bugs).

This is (supposedly) the last patch. I expect plenty of hotfixes.

Apparently there's a new (and highly amusing) bug introduced with Patch 7 where Jaheira and Minsc will show up completely naked for their first introduction. XD

its not new but yes that can happen
