Strange resolution

DLite

Hi,

I just installed BG:EE, and the resolution seems to be very low. When I zoom in, it's almost blurry. It gets a bit better when I zoom all out, but I prefer to zoom in so I can see the avatars. I can't figure out where in the settings I can change it.

Also, is it possible to change the double purple circle around the avatar to the original single green circle? Or even better, remove it entirely.

Cheers,

J.

I don't think there's anything in the settings to affect that.

Maybe there's something in the baldur.ini or some other config file, but someone else would have to advise you about that.

Options->Gameplay->Feedback->Colored Markers is a button which lets you restore the old all-green markers.

Options->Gameplay->Feedback->Marker Feedback is a slider which lets you control who has markers - at minimum setting, it'll be used only for the selected character.

There is no changing the resolution by means other than zooming I'm afraid. When Baldur's Gate was originally created, it played at a resolution of 640x480 pixels because the monitors of the time didn't get much better than that. Which was fine in those days but looks blurry on today's computers. Beamdog had wanted to make the game HD when they started remastering Baldur's Gate, but that proved impossible because almost all of the original art turned out to be irretrievably lost, leaving Beamdog with nothing more than the low-res bitmaps from the game's software.

I have better news regarding the circles. In the Options => Gameplay screen there is a button called Feedback. That button leads to another screen. There you can switch between colored double circles and green single circles by toggling 'Colored Markers', and you can remove the circles by pulling the 'Marker Feedback' slider all the way to the left.

Edit: Ninja'd!

Thanks.

Another one. Does anyone know why the battle music never ends?
I mean, battle music is great and all, but it gets a bit tiresome when you have to listen to it all the time.

It's a known bug, occurring rather randomly. When you rest or travel to another area, it stops.

This bug was already known before the last patch, but unfortunately the devs couldn't figure out exactly what was causing it, so they couldn't fix it in the last patch. Latest I hear is that some hero eventually managed to pin down a reliable way to reproduce the fault, so we can hope that they'll finally be able to fix it in the forthcoming patch.
