Import Game Broken - iOS

Hi, so the new update for bg2 on my iPad looks good so far, apart from the major problem of it no longer having a working 'Import Game' function? Primarily I am looking to import from SoA to ToB but can't seem to do anything beyond importing my main character, there is no way of importing my party!

Is there something I am majorly missing or has the new update broken things? :/

    Can you clarify it, please? Doesn't the game progress from the end of SoA to ToB automatically?

    What exactly do you think is changed in the import process between SoA and ToB?

    This option here:

    In v1.3, it imported the entire party (excluding Yoshimo, he would be removed).
    In v2.3, it only allows importing CHARNAME.
    The issue is not restricted to the iOS/mobile version, the PC version does the same.

    Yes, you indeed need to import each character from the save. You can file a feature request on Redmine to restore the 1.3 behavior, it's hard for me to say if it's possible to implement now, though.

    If you click on new game in the main menu and then the button for create party that gives you the opportunity to import each character separately. Once you've got everyone you want just start the game as normal.

    I just did a new run through with new BG1 on iOS. Had two characters in a Create Party. Exported both from final save. Tried to create new party in BG2 with exported characters and it crashes. I can create new party with either as a single character but both together crashes. Any ideas?

    Please, see this workaround: https://support.baldursgate.com/issues/33105 and https://support.baldursgate.com/issues/32795 (dropping all your items except those that transfer).

    The first one worked to drop all items before exporting. Thanks!
