Hang on... so how do I get the 1.3 patch, then?

The strangest of difficulties here. How on earth do I get the 1.3 patch? I logged on to Steam, as that's where I bought the game from, and thought I'd be able to download it from there. But no - for one reason or another, Steam doesn't remember (?) that I've bought it. I can't find any button to push where I could start the download. This is very strange.

Steam DOES know and remember that I've bought IWD:EE. But there's nothing about BG2:EE for me, even though I bought the game from Steam and still have it.

    The patch may not be released in Steam yet, it usually takes longer to get there.

    This is not relevant to your query, but for Android, I found that i couldn't find BG2EE when searching for it in the Play store, but instead, there is a link to the play-store location from the main BG2EE website.

    @Kefka: They did have the release notes available on Steam, so I would suppose it is there.

    Hmm... How am I going to get the patch on my PC game? I suppose it'll work out somehow.

    Steam downloaded the patch to me automatically yesterday evening (16/12) - I only noticed because I always play offline and the game wouldn't load until I went online and then I got the message 'go away and make a cup of tea while we mess around with your computer' (or words to that effect).

    This the damnedest thing, really. I wonder what on earth has gone wrong here. I wonder if @Dee can say anything about this.

    Incidentally, where do you even see the version number in BG2:EE?

    I think there's an option to keep the game updated in Steam. Try going to the game's properties to check if it's active.

    Ahem. Very sorry. Feeling quite foolish now. Steam, BeamDog, who can remember the difference... downloading now.

    Nice :)

    There's exquisite comedy in making a complete idiot of yourself. Highly recommended, every now and then.

    We all have the right to make a fool of ourselves from time to time; I try and not make it a "Career"~!

    If it makes you feel any better, I have managed to create an elven berserker and a human barbarian.
    It should have been the opposite so that I could dual the human berserker to cleric.
    Realized it after half hour of gameplay.
    I blame the pre-coffee morning hours.
