Next Patch ETA?

Hi guys,

I bought this on release as I'm a big fan of the BG series and wanted to play through again with some modern interface updates, bugfixes, etc.

It seems however that there are still a glaring amount of bugs, some introduced by the EE, and that playing is quite a pain. Personally I played past Nashkel when the game was first released but stopped as the Journal seemed totally broken.
It really ruined the experience for me, I mean surely it can't be that hard to get a quest to flag as "Completed" when it's, you know, been completed?

As such I've put off playing for so long, I will wait for one more patch then try again.
Any idea of the ETA of the next patch?

    I can't answer your question but I will tell you that this section is for reporting of bugs only. We are working to keep it clean and organized. @Coriander You are on right? We should move this.

    You can make/contribute to a Journal bug report if you want. I agree that the Journal is pretty iffy.

    Don't forget to trademark that. Soon is the most used word on these forums. :D

    The last patch BROKE the FIRST quest in the game. I can't even play it til that's fixed. I was going to start a game with a friend but that had to be pushed off til it was fixed too.

    Really? I've not heard of this - what was the problem?

    Tethoril won't give you the identify scroll for Firebeard now.

    oh - fair enough then - I could see how that would be annoying. The way it was phrased made it sound like you couldn't event finish the prologue because the game was so buggy.
  • CaptRoryCaptRory Member Posts: 1,660
    Yeah, it isn't *that* bad. But it is annoying. Someone came up with a fan fix, but if I wanted to muck around with that sort of thing, I wouldn't have bought the EE in the first place.

    @Aosaw Same difference since the fans need to do the work on our side to fix it.

    Yeah, but only if you consider unzipping a single file into the override folder to be "work".

    In this case, I do. I've spent entire days of my life getting this game to work on increasingly incompatible computer systems. typically about two days per install. I've paid my due. I want it to just work for a change.

    Fair enough.

    Still waiting on the renderer fixes, so i can finally play without slowdowns on aoe spells. At the moment all energy is put into the android version, with no bugfixes coming out.

    I am curious why a "beta tester" would not pick up on this sort of thing though...
    It's possible that they did, but decided that delaying the patch to fix this issue would be more detrimental than the issue itself (it is a pretty minor bug in the grand scheme of things), and released the patch anyways.

    I think is due to the fact that they don't beta test the entire game for every patch. That's tedious for a volunteer. Tethoril wasn't touched iirc so testing him (or everyone elses dialog through out the entire game) seemed to be moot.

    The "fan" who came up with that fix ( @Cerevant ) is currently on the payroll, actually.

    Actually, I think @Balquo got that one, but we're all on the same team :)

    Oh, right, right--I get you two mixed up sometimes in my head...
  • TressetTresset Member, Moderator Posts: 8,268
    You mean that you beta testers get paid to do that? I thought it was volunteer work. Now I want to be a beta tester...

    Well both @Balquo and @Cerevant are also BG:EE team members. There are some beta testers who aren't team members, who I would guess are unpaid (but I really don't know).

    Yeah I guess that makes sense. Still it would be cool to help out in a more official manner, paid or not...
