Portraits aren't showing up

in Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition
Updated to 2.0 for PC, I have numerous portraits that are coming up blank. Fits all the requirements given, 8 characters or less, 210x330 but now suddenly I've got blank boxes. Seems to affect the pictures more than than the drawings, but that might just be coincidence.

    Same here. And it's not ALL portraits just most of them. Tis odd.

    Happened to me too. Went to the folder and renamed the ones missing, now working fine.

    No, all the pictures are uniform. All of them are 210x330, 24BMP and 8 characters are less. Tried renaming them, but still nothing. About 10% don't show p.

    I had this same problem, and the fix was easy in my case.
    It seems like the filenames for the portraits now can no longer have any capitalized letters other then the size denotation.

    the portrait that worked fine before for me but not in 2.0 was called "ElfL.bmp" and while the large portraid on the character screen worked, the miniature portrait in the sidebar did not.

    after renaming the image to simply "elfL.bmp" the sidebar portrait loads just fine.

    Same here. Thats alot of work when you have hundreds of portraits. I find it faster to make the Char, save, open EE Keeper and change the portrait there. At least its in list viewing.

    Must admit though making a PC, the portrait is usually the inspiration for the rest of the PC's creation. So its a bit of a bummer having to go the Keeper route
