Increase frame rate?

Can I increase the frame rate, to make the game run faster? (Like you can in the unEnhanced version)

    Add this line to your baldur.ini: 
    'Program Options',	'Maximum Frame Rate',	'30',
    Change the number to whatever you want.

    Actually I just need a booster when the team has to cross large distances.. Not an overall change

    In that case, you're better off enabling the console and either conjuring six pairs of Boots of Speed (CLUAConsole:CreateItem("boot01")) or using Ctrl+J.

    Thanks Jalily.
    Found the Baldur.ini at 'user/documents/Baldur's Gate- Enhanced Edition/Baldur.ini', opened with the textedit.app, added the line you specified, and it works :)

    Sorry, that I am bumping, but I think there is no reason to submit new topic.

    So, I've done as above but no change to gameplay. Still slow as hell (default 30fps - I know this speed very good). Editing baldur.ini works - Debug Mode works, as well as changes made to a file. My OS is Windows 7.

    Any ideas?

    @soanvig when you editied the .ini like Jalily suggested above, did you make sure to change the value to something other than 30? Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but I could totally see myself just copy/pasting that line but forgetting to actually change the framerate value.

    Of course I did! :) I've set it to 60 (the value I use to play Infinity Engine). And I did not even have to copy the line. I found the value in baldur.ini already existing. I tried to paste new one, edit old one etc. but no difference.

    It should work as described above. Just make sure that the game isn't running when you're changing any values in the baldur.ini.

    Personally I would advise against changing the frame rate, as it speeds up everything (clock speed, duration of spell effects, animations, ...). If you just want to walk faster you should cheat in Boots of Speed for everyone.

    Nah, nothing is working. In BG2:EE it works, but not in BG1:EE.

    I have other important boots (Of Hiding i.e.). Also I always played with boosted speed, so I feel uncomfortable.
    Going to migrate to BG2:EE as fastest as possible.
