The final major patch of Baldur’s Gate 3 has added 12 subclasses to customize your class’s strengths and battle experience. But if you haven’t been able to access these new subclasses yet, don’t worry—it’s not just you.
Besides subclasses, Patch 8 of Baldur’s Gate 3 has introduced some big changes and new features. You can now team up with players cross-platform, use a new photo mode to save your best moments, and flaunt your creativity with an improved modding toolkit. While the rest of the patch has been working fine, players across consoles and PC have reported being unable to view and use the new subclasses. But thankfully, there’s a workaround to fix this issue.
How to fix Patch 8 subclasses not showing in Baldur’s Gate 3
While tinkering around with the subclasses not showing error in Baldur’s Gate 3, players have discovered a solution to it: Disable mods. But before you do this, ensure your class meets the level requirement for its new subclass. Here’s a reference:
| Level | 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’ve reached the level requirement but still can’t view the Patch 8 subclasses, you’ll need to uninstall the mods you’re using and relaunch the game. The new subclasses are incompatible with some mods, hence the error.
If you’re a heavy mod user and don’t want to delete your entire collection, there’s an alternative. Many players have particularly reported the IMP-UI mod to be the culprit, so if you’re using this popular UI improvement tool, remove just this and check whether the new subclasses show up. If this doesn’t work, ensure you don’t have other mods using the IMP-UI mod. If you do, delete them too.
If removing just the IMP-UI mod doesn’t work, try deleting any mod that modifies the class you’ve chosen—like the Necromancer Warlock mod—in Baldur’s Gate 3.
If deleting the IMP-UI or class mods doesn’t help your situation, you’ll need to try the trial-and-error method: Delete every mod and keep checking if it fixes the issue. You can also save time and delete all your mods.
Don’t be disheartened, though; these bugs are temporary. All your favorite Baldur’s Gate 3 mods that are currently broken will eventually be updated to support the new subclasses, so you can reinstall and enjoy them later.
