@Shandyr hey I'm not sure if this is where I should place this report, I casually mentioned it in another thread but not as a bug report.
Since the last update (or possibly the one before it, I didn't play between them) all of the in-game cinematics (intro video, FAI video, BP intro video, etc.) are extremely laggy (both video and audio). I especially find it odd because the videos played flawlessly before the updates and the video files themselves are fine (they run without error in VLC).
The laptop that I'm currently playing BG:EE on -
AMD Phenom II N970 Quad-Core 2.2 GHz 4 Gb RAM 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series
Note: Concerning the videos, I have tried many possible solutions (running as administrator in different compatibility modes, re-downloading and reinstalling the entire game, updating drivers using the AMD updater, and then rolling back to the Windows recommendations) to no avail.
Also, the big screen beta has no effect for me, I have inserted the line 'Graphics', 'Scale UI', '0', into my Baldur.ini and it has had no effect whatsoever. I use ConTEXT to edit it and I always reopen it to make sure that the changes are still there. My laptop is 1366x768 but according to Oxford_Guy's comments on another thread concerning the Big Screen Beta this should be a large enough resolution to notice a difference with this change.
Anyway, if you feel any of these are report-worthy feel free to do so, and let me know if you need any further information.
@Shandyr yes that is the quest that I was referring to, my bad. I guess it was because I could not remember his name that I missed it on the first page ::facepalm:: I will remove it from my post.
I don't even know what bug to search for...my party will not hang together after a minute or after an hour...using the all button selects all but one person, totally random. I have to restart all the time. Once, this bug happened during battle and 2 players started to fight each other. No one was turned by anything, no reason at all.
@Shandyr so... should I make a separate [bug] thread for my first issue (the videos messing up as of the latest update) and then link you to the thread so you can add it to your list, or does that issue not really belong here? Sorry for the multiple posts, just trying to figure out where this report should be/if it needs to be reported at all.
Edit: @Shandyr You are just too fast for me. I think I need some sleep, Finals week and all that. Anyway, thanks for making the report and keeping all these issues organized
Khalid and Kivan. I am starting to believe it happens only after I minimize the game to check the dudleyville maps, and when I come back half of the time the game is jacked...maybe just a coincidence though.
Damn.. excellent thread initiative! excellent..and kinda totally scary too... hope the next patches will really fix many of that, because if not.. a little scary, yes..many of that is really important gameplay things or even story breaking things, as such, for specific situations or builds... O_o
ps (also, up to v2011): - keys '1...6' + 'm' (always) not working properly on keyboard azerty/fr
Hi Shandyr, I just noticed that the missing multiplayer movies bug is not listed. To clarify: 1.0.2009 fixed the missing camping scenes for inns and dungeons, that is correct. However there are still those sunset and sunrise movies that make unpausing the game impossible as well (and those were not fixed - tested with a existing save game).

One of the existing bug reports: Multiplayer Pause for Movie at Bandit Camp - Unable to Unpause (I know the title of the discussion says something different, but I am 100% sure it was a sunrise/sunset movie ;-)
