As Trent pointed out Here, a new patch has been released, which will update your game to 1.0.2009 when you install it from the launcher/client.

By popular demand (and because, really, I should have posted one last time too), here's a list of the fixes that have been implemented with this patch:

Crash Fixes:
- Multiplayer connecting to non-host bug fixed
- Fixed Right click map crash bug
- Crash reporting has been improved
- Fixed crash for OpenGL drivers that don't support compression
Text/Localization Fixes:
- Fixed Neera dialogue problem with Edwin in party
- Fixed Rasaad dialog loop
- Updates to English, French, German text
- Fixed Dorn looping dialogue problem
- Fixed Neera and Rasaad item descriptions
- Bastard sword strength requirement description updated to 11
- Help tooltip says 'Help' instead of 'Rest'
- Fix for Half-Orc Biography
Added or Improved/Fixed Features:
- Version # now displays on main screen
- Added support for 'Program Options', 'Maximum Frame Rate'
- Fixed function key assignment issues
- Added autosave for Start of Black Pits
- Added toggle for hardware mouse cursor
- Improved Mouse Wheel support
- Min/max damage correctly displays strength modification
General Fixes:
- Dorn stuck in Kryll cutscene fixed
- Fixed Dorn movement on early Kryll letter retrieval
- Fixes Gallus in the Black pits proficiency selection
- Disabled stairs in tutorial until Belt tells you to use them
- Lothander / Rasaad bug fixed
- Flaming Fist reputation loss bug fixed
- Neera plot Thayan bodyguard XP fixed
- Fixed party members attacking each other bug
- Tranzig not using spells fixed
- Fixed Neera is busy and won't rejoin party bug
IMPORTANT: Send us your .dmp files!

In order to fix things more efficiently, the developers have asked that .dmp files be brought to their attention. A .dmp file is important for finding the source of a crash, which then makes preventing future crashes easier.

If your game crashes, the game now creates a .dmp file under Documents\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\crash, which you can email directly to me at beamdmp@gmail.com and I'll make sure it gets seen. These .dmp files are invaluable for figuring out not just what's happening on your system, but also why it's causing your game to crash, which will allow the developers to find a solution.

Finally--and this is very important: Do not install a mod on your game unless it has been confirmed to be compatible with the Enhanced Edition. This is ultimately the root cause of a lot of the problems people are experiencing (or enough to warrant this reminder, at least). If you're wanting to use a favorite mod, just be patient; a lot of the modders are beta testers so they've had a bit of a head start, but it still may take some time to update all of them. Installing the old mods can cause instabilities in your game, which may cause the game to crash or render it otherwise unplayable.

    Neera still doesn't have anything to say to me :(

    Thank you for being so quick with the patching - While the game has had its issues for me so far, it is really nice to see that you are able to provide fixes for our issues without much of a delay! :)

    In addition to the above, I will add that just because this patch has been released doesn't mean that Cameron has stopped working on fixes. He's still hard at work, but they wanted to make sure that what they've fixed gets released as early as possible, to allow more people to start enjoying the game (or continue enjoying it more, as the case may be).

    Just wanted to add this before the "Half-Orc BIO STILL BROKEN" starts. If you made a Half-Orc before the patch you need to revert your bio to see the change.

    Record - Customize - Biography - Revert.

    Keep up the great work guys!

    The only thing I wanted, being able to play at 45fps, was included in this patch. Thank you and I will now roll my first character.

    @Kortok

    What's the significance of the FPS issue? Is it something I want to know about?! :)

    I want a feature request to triple like @Aosaw post. I do really appreciate the tweaks and improvements. My play to this point has been largely painless, but more is better! Thanks.

    I noticed this too; though the version number is still 1.0.2009. Anyone have any idea what it does?

    Wow, I'm really impressed with how quickly you guys have been cranking out the updates. Love to see developers who A) support their product and B) are this open with the community.

    If you're able to sustain this level of productivity, I can see BGEE being bug-free inside of two or three months.

    How do i install the patch? I open the launcher and all it does is download the game again, i already have it installed but i moved it to a different hard drive whats the deal?
  • MetallomanMetalloman Member, Moderator, Translator (NDA) Posts: 3,975
    @husker4life:

    If you use the beamdog client you chan choose the path in the options, if you use the stand-alone you can change the path during the installation process.

    It should download and install the update only.

    Did this also bring back the coloured backpack when the inventory isn't full?
  • DeeDee Member Posts: 10,447
    @AdventSign
    Yes.

    @PugPug
    Open Baldur.ini in WordPad or notepad++. The line for the frame rate will be toward the bottom.
