    That's correct.

    One more question - is there any new music in the IWDEE soundtrack not found in the original IWD soundtrack?
  • DeeDee Member Posts: 10,447
    Off the top of my head I don't recall if the IWD:EE soundtrack has more tracks than the original; it has 51 tracks for a total playtime of 64 minutes, though, if that helps.

    That is exactly the same as the original sound track, which just happens to currently be loaded onto my phone :)

    May I ask, why Steam only? Are there any plans to eventually make it available through Beamdog directly?

    Same question. I will buy the soundtracks if they are sold through Beamdog, but I'm not really interested in Steam. They would make a nice addition to my BGEE and SoD soundtracks which came with the Collector's Edition I bought through Beamdog.

    Thanks Beamdog for doing what I did with audacity and free time a year or two ago!

    The 2.3.67.3 update for BGEE and BG2EE is not on GOG. Is the patch only for steam? BGEE on Mac (GOG version) still has the tooltip bug, please fix it.

    Steam = dealbreaker :P

    @poirot The 2.3.67.3 update seems to be up on GOG now. It often takes a day or two.
  • poirotpoirot Member Posts: 3
    The latest update on GOG is still 2.3.67.2. Just checked. It's been a week since 2.3.67.3 came out. I think there will be no 2.3.67.3 on GOG :( Maybe it's a small hot fix just for steam. I don't know whether it is on Beamdog or not? Waiting for next BIG update.

    so if we have bought these games from beamdog directly, we don't get the soundtracks?

    If you purchased the games direct from Beamdog, you can request Steam keys from Beamdog and then purchase the soundtracks on Steam.

    @poirot Are you using GOG Galaxy? Because BG2EE is definitely telling me I have an update there. I just checked.

    No. I have internet connection problems with GOG Galaxy here. It's unusable. I directly use GOG's website. So it seems this maybe GOG's problem. I'm playing BGEE. Maybe I can find a way to give Galaxy another try.
  • RatatoskrRatatoskr Member Posts: 726
    If you can get internet long enough to download Galaxy, you can play the games while offline. That's what I do since I don't have internet at home. But there should be a changelog/direct download for every update too and I don't know why BG1 wouldn't have it when BG2 does.

    um, does anyone know how to get the soundtracks once the steam keys have been provided? i got mine and have registered the games in my library but i dont know what to do after that >_<

    It should be in the game folder, the folder with an exe file.
  • ThacoBellThacoBell Member Posts: 12,235
    Yeah, not wasting my time with steam.
  • sazziesazzie Member Posts: 103
    hmmmm. thank you! i will need to look further into this. im really looking forward to the ToB menu music

    What about the Heart of Winter soundtracks? I believe they were on the IwD 2 soundtrack cd for some reason...

    @ankheg We're now adding the Heart of Winter soundtrack as a bonus to our IWD:EE sountrack. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to create it in a FLAC format, so it will be added as MP3.
  • JuliusBorisovJuliusBorisov Member, Administrator, Moderator, Developer Posts: 22,754
    And it's now added!
