    Font slider is still only changed tooltip font size and nothing else for me in v2.0.59.1 :disappointed:

    Not all text in-game is going to increase in size; certain text (button labels, screen names) are fixed in size in order to maintain their position within the frames. But some text should be getting bigger. I'll look into it.

    EDIT: It looks like that change only made its way into BGII:EE. I'll update the list accordingly. Good catch!

    This was listed in the closed stickied post so maybe its old news.

    'Wizard Slayer will now apply 25% casting failure on hit (18462)'


    Happy day :O? I know it was 10% but I havnt played a Wizard Slayer in such a long time i dont know how much of a big change this is. But any buff to him is a plus all the same :D!

    I think some of these didn't make it in to the lists in the changelog topic.

    Well, I know that the area map blue overlay isn't disabled by default. Not sure how to turn it off permanently. 2.0.59.1 steam version.

    It's correctly disabled by default here. I delete the configuration file, start the game and begin gameplay and the map does not have the option enabled. The behaviour persists when restarting the game from the desktop without first deleting the configuration file.
  • DeeDee Member Posts: 10,447
    @Franpa correct; default behaviors are set when the game is run for the first time, or when the baldur.lua file isn't detected.

    If you don't want to delete that file, you can manually change the global setting from Options > Graphics.

    I figured it out. The error occurred between the keyboard and the chair.

    Nothing to see here, move along.
