I'm assuming PS:T players are familiar with the Windows 7/8 crash-to-desktop bug during area transitions. Googling around doesn't turn up much other than "save a lot and learn to live with it." Anyone aware of an actual fix? It appears to be mod related - probably Bigg's widescreen.

Max Wilco posted:I've had that problem too. I think it is linked to the widescreen mod, but I'm not sure. I noticed that the widescreen mod has been updated to version 3.05, so maybe updating it will work? Sadly, no. The 3.05 update is at least a couple of years old. I don't think it's in particularly active development anymore.

Max Wilco posted:So then is it best to drop the widescreen mod completely? What about other mods from the GOG mod list, like the Tweaks Pack, or the Unfinished Business patch? Do they cause problems or crashes? I don't know that the problem is actually being caused by widescreen in this case. That's just a guess. Even if it is, I would rather live with the crashes than uninstall it. 640x480 on a modern LCD drives me nuts. I'm also running fixpack, tweaks, UB, and Ghost Dog's UI. Haven't noticed other problems, but I'm only a few hours in.

vty posted:Warning to anyone who plays games on both OSX and Windows/Linux. I bought BG2 EE on Steam assuming that both my PC and Macbook would run it, in fact I really just wanted it on my Mac, but I was at home on my Windows desktop when I ordered it. Kinda your fault for not paying attention, but I sympathize. I'm not particularly impressed with the way Beamdog chooses to sell these games.

vty posted:Just seems really scammy, which is my complaint. If you order it via Beamdog can you install it on both? Well... any game on the Steam store has the icon of the platforms it supports right on the page. As I said, though, I basically agree with you. The whole "boo hoo, we didn't want to sell on Steam - evil Atari made us do it" doesn't really wash. And as a consumer, it's not my problem. They should have figured that out before they started asking money for the game. And, no. Even if you buy it directly from Beamdog, you have to buy a separate license for every platform.

As soon as we have a stable build we'll make a beta version available. Pre-Christmas does seem realistic at this point, but we won't release the patch until we're sure it's solid. Translated from Beamdogese: You might see BG2EE 1.3 some time around August 2015.

fong posted:Excited as I am, I'm probably going to hold off on IWDEE until after the first patch. Given Overhaul's usual speed, I'd say that means you'll be getting it around December 2015.  Totally understandable. My poor impulse control compelled me to pre-order, but fully expecting plenty of bugs.

Levantine posted:I haven't been paying much attention but does the release of IWD: EE mean we're getting IWD2: EE? I like all the Infinity engine games but IWD2 has a special place in my heart for its weird implementation of 3rd edition rules. Overhaul haven't said if they're doing IWD2:EE yet. Given the rules differences, it would take a lot more work.

BadAstronaut posted:What are the worst of the bugs in Baldurs gate 2EE? Is it so bad it's worth not playing for a while? I have not touched it in ages. Got very frustrated with the Hexatt quest bugging out multiple times until it finally worked. I'm a little after that but hesitant to play if Beamdog are likely to make a huge update soon. I'm waiting until 1.3 to try again. When is it coming? Dunno.

fong posted:Has anyone tried BG2 since the patch? I just loaded it up to try out the new pathfinding and it seems... Better? A little. Still get that thing where one person will wander off into the corner because of a jam at a doorway, except now they'll turn around and go the right way once the path is clear. You'll also still get your party splitting up if there are two fairly equivalent paths. Same for me. I haven't had anyone get stuck, but the party still splits onto different paths constantly. Lots of other nice fixes, though. My favorite is the most boring.. resizable fonts.

JustJeff88 posted:I'd like to know as well. I was surprised how quickly Beamdog got the patch out after they went beta with it (only took them a bloody year to get started), but that speed makes me worry that they cocked even more stuff up in their haste. I started a new game a few days ago. I've only done the Keep and a few other quests in town so far, but haven't noticed any problems. As far as I can tell, no one is complaining much about IWD:EE. Beamdog might have got their QA procedures worked out by now.

Max Wilco posted:That was another method I read about. Problem is that I'd have to reload an earlier save to go and get that (or return to the caves once I get the shield), and I think at that price, I'd lose most of the money you need to move to Chapter 3. I must have done the quest later than you. I recall that shield costing a tiny percentage of the cash I had on hand.

cheesetriangles posted:I'm not going to question the choice of a trans character but putting in the minsc joke was probably in poor taste. I don't think that belongs at all. Let's call the whole thing ill-judged rather than poor taste. There's a fairly sizable chunk of socially conservative/reactionary types among fans of classic RPGs. The relatively high percentage of IE engine die-hards in countries which haven't quite entered the 21st century (socially speaking) should have been a huge flashing warning sign.

BadAstronaut posted:Who owns rights to Arcanum? I'd also be all over an Enhanced Edition of that, if it could ever become a thing. Activision. Obsidian's Feargus has mentioned a couple of times in interviews that he's asked them about doing something with the IP several times. Seems like they'd rather just let it rot. I doubt they'd see enough profit in an EE to bother with it.

Convex posted:Any word on how PST:EE sold? Haven't heard a lot of talk about it sadly. Did my bit by pre-ordering anyway. PS:T has been one of the top sellers on GOG for awhile. Since the EE is now the only (digital) version you can buy, it'll do fine long term.
