Hmm, no installer to be found on the site. Strange tidings indeed

Tanthalas

Lol, I can assure you guys that an installer already exists.

Too bad the trailer is of such low quality.

Can't even see the nice zoom.

You can change it to 1080p by pressing the gear button and then selecting it.

Edit: you have to go to youtube to do that though.

Trailer *and* more screenshots, see: http://www.baldursgate.com/news_2012nov22.en.html

@Tanthalas If you go to the source on youtube you can switch it up to 1080p.

Indeed. Anybody downloading it right now?

Shin

Ah, http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/6817/pre-loading-for-baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition-has-begun

Tanthalas

I actually didn't know about that youtube feature. >_>

elminster

Like I wrote earlier. I'm pretty sure if anyone here were downloading they would be like "I got the email and/or I'm downloading, Wuhahahaha"

Sorry man, I've searched high and low for /files/BGEESetup.exe, and I just can't find it.

Lame

elminster

See now I'm downloading. Wuhahahaha.

Seldar

Well I have to say that music is really cool, fits perfectly with BG

I just noticed that 1PP wasnt included ?!

Shin

@Marric It's BGEEInstaller.exe

SharGuidesMyHand

Are people here actually downloading, or are they just pulling everyone's leg?

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't see that other thread.

Shin

@SharGuidesMyHand Downloading fine.. check http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/6817/pre-loading-for-baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition-has-begun

Oxford_Guy

I've still not yet received the email, yet has appeared as an item in the Beamdog download client. Am on P2P to try to spread the load, but seems stuck at "0Gb of 1.3Gb" :-(

sepotter

Well, I'm downloading now

Has it moved above 0Gb?

mch202

18mb, 1282 to go

FrozenCells

My client just says "loading" and never loads.

Nemissa

I downloaded the manuals fine but the stand alone patcher is still stuck on "getting download info"

Oxford_Guy

BTW will the Beamdog client impose anymore DRM than the direct download version?

Shin

For curious people, the preloaded directory contains all the data files as .BIFs and all the music files as .ACMs. Also standard player scripts and two manuals: a "Mastering Melee and Magic" manual and a "Sword Coast Survival Guide" manual.

elminster

Guys if you are using the client restart it.

Where did you download the manuals from? Are there instructions in an email (which I still haven't got yet...)?

elminster

I'm at 550mb/ 1.3 gb (the stand alone installer rounds I guess)
