I'm quite surprised the UI wasn't touched at all in this update, it has been quite a while indeed. So I wonder what is Beamdog's intent with the current state of UI, all those discussions in the "UI workshop" section and all those UI tickets in the Redmine. Ever? In 2.6? After another year? Or is it just fine as it is? Curious.
I won’t be able to download the betas until tonight. Could anybody confirm whether IWD:EE 2.5 still has Catmull-Rom Bicubic like 1.4 used to have? Or did it inherit bilinear and Nearest Neighbor (hope not, but afraid yes)?
Well, the feature request was logged on the public tracker and subsequently moved to the internal tracker by QA, so we know it’s got the devs’ eyes. I’m no programmer but I imagine it is not the most trivial thing on the tracker. I’ll keep my hopes up
@JuliusBorisov or any Beamdog dev, is there any new opcodes or modding feature we can expect at some point during this beta? Or maybe de-hardcoded features?

Got it. Ver 2.4 for iPad and only 1.4 for Steam-version. Is it normal?

Those are the most recent versions for those platforms, so that sounds correct.
Regardless, with the Steam key you could immediately install the 2.5 beta and go from there, or wait for 2.5 to be released officially, and then upgrade to there.

To participate in the Beta, you have to follow the instructions linked from the OP here. The Beta is available for Steam, not iPad.
Errors for localizations should be reported to the team leads (and the thread you link is by DragonAttack who is a team lead of the Russian loc for IWD:EE), so that was the appropriate place. I can't guarantee when/if DragonAttack will reply.

EDIT: First thing I noticed on character creation was that the club skill proficiency was fixed, as it does not show under weapon styles anymore. NIce
IWD:EE now uses the same version of the engine as BGEE and BG2EE so sadly it has the same rendering regression
v1.4:
v2.5:

P.S. Is anyone interested in errors for russian localization?
No response in the corresponding discussion.

Any chance this feature will ever be implemented?
