Ho there, adventurers from the north! The 2.5 patch for Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition has just gone live, and it’s huuuge!

The update will be available in the Beamdog Client, Steam, GOG, Google Play, App Store, and Mac App Store! If you don’t see the update soon, please be patient as it takes time to populate through the various stores. :)

Play as a Shaman, try exciting new game features such as a "Take All" button on containers and an Auto-Save after character creation at the start of the game!

Check out the full patch notes here: http://blog.beamdog.com/2018/05/icewind-dale-enhanced-edition-25-patch.html

    Wow, the new version does not get along with my Mac's trackpad at all. Taps don't consistently register. I just gave up partway through rolling a new character. I guess I should have participated in beta testing.

    @joluv That sounds not alright. Please, report on support.baldursgate.com

    Hmm well that must be quite the change for people used to V1.3.

    I don't play it IWDEE, but enjoy it people!

    hello

    I received it without participating in the beta version of Google Play.
    Be the same as before The version is 2.5 13.2, which is the same as the beta version.
    This time, the patch is 2.5. 13.2.? It is difficult to distinguish between beta versions

    This is the same issue I had with the v2.5.10 betas for BGEE and IWDEE. I reported it on redmine (https://support.baldursgate.com/issues/34153 - internal report #34256). Unfortunately, it still appears to be affecting the release version of IWDEE v.2.5.16.3.

    Reported: https://support.baldursgate.com/issues/36932

    It is also affecting the v2.5.15.1 beta for BGEE.

    Hmmm, does one need to download the retail version this time to have the latest version or does downloading/updating the beta works too?

    The retail version gets this upgrade.

    Yaaaaaay!
    I’m going to download and play that shiznit tomorrow!

    I suppose it's not terribly high priority, but the ID:EE patcher still has the 1.4 "news" on it. The patch itself was immediately available though.

    Good job! Though, I've noticed a bug or two with the new patch that wasn't in the old version. Hoping you guys aren't unintentionally creating more work for yourselves.

    Example: https://support.baldursgate.com/issues/36930

    If you mean the legacy launcher, then it's not supported. https://www.beamdog.com/about/client

    @logojin7 Yes, this is a full update, not a beta update.

    Is this supposed to be available on the Beamdog client now? I'm still getting 1.4.0 on the Retail branch and 2.5.13.1 on the Beta branch. It's not listing any updates available on either branch.

    It should be. I already updated retail to 2.5.16.3 on the Beamdog Client yesterday evening.

    Can you please provide screenshots of what you see? What @Doubledimas says is true - the retail version in the dropdown should show an active update button.

    Great! I can finally do again a solo Heart of Fury run with an FMC starting from level 1, with achievements this time!
  • ThelsThels Member Posts: 1,422
    The full list of patch notes lists a lot of fixes that were never a problem during the previous patches. For example, there are various bugfixes listed involving the Shaman Class and the Achievements. Since the previous version did not involve any Shamans or Achievements, it doesn't make much sense in listing them?
  • ThacoBellThacoBell Member Posts: 12,235
    @Thels Its probably nice for the people who participated in the beta, and found these bugs in the first place. The patch notes let them know that the roblems were fixed that they experienced before.
  • JuliusBorisovJuliusBorisov Member, Administrator, Moderator, Developer Posts: 22,754
    Yes, especially since the beta had been happening for quite awhile.
  • PietroskijPietroskij Member Posts: 4
    Super, I'm really happy!!!
    1.4 saves are compatible or I must start a new game?
  • proccoprocco Member, Mobile Tester Posts: 915
    Is this supposed to be updated on iOS as well? It’s still at version 2.4.

    I uninstalled and then reinstalled it, and that seems to have done the trick.

    @Pietroskij It should be fine. If anything is wrong in one of the quests, report back.

    @procco It's still being populated.
