Patch notes of the BGII:EE patch beta update

JuliusBorisov

It's time for more ... experiments! The beta of the 2.5 patch for Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition has just received a new build.

Enjoy your journey in Amn with Simplified Chinese, Korean, Russian and Polish translations, as well as German, Italian and Polish V/O!

The new update is already available in the Beamdog Client, on Steam and on Google Play.

Great News!

Last beta before the release or do you plan to publish new builds? Also will we get a SoD beta?

JuliusBorisov

I don't think new builds are planned, but this is probably a question for the livestream.

A SoD public beta - again, there're no plans for it. The game is out on Android and iOS with 2.5 functionality + tickets are being worked on internally.

What about a PC build that makes the latest BGEE and SoD compatible?

I see that EE-specific sound files are still in poor quality (see report). Any plans to restore the high quality version in the final patch?

The Chinese font of the game is too too too big, no matter how I adjust it.

It there a plan to release beta patch for GoG version?

[Edit] or maybe it can be installed manually in some way?

@junyangche
Hello! Can you please report via a ticket on support.baldursgate.com, attaching screenshots and explaining where the font is too big for you (and on which platform, with which font settings etc).

@berbel The beta is not available for GOG.

@Mothor It will have to wait for the non-beta patch release, I think

I'll follow up, thanks.

After 2.5 releases I hope Beamdog will release quickly hotfixes dealing with V/O errors players are discovering meanwhile.

JuliusBorisov

Hmm, I don't think there will be quick "hotfixes".

is map & game lagging problem being solved?
when i play iwd ee android, i reported it before.
(android iwdee bg2ee both happen)
(before checking map menu, game is slow and after checking map menu, game speed is normal)

the reason which i ask is that problem happen again in 2.5.16.4.

JuliusBorisov

This is a known issue, and is being worked on. However, an additional report on support.baldursgate.com mentioning the problem happens in the current beta + information about your device&OS would help!

The Manley's portraits are missing (the files are still there but they no longer appear in game).

These lines where removed from BGEE.lua:

	{'MANLEY0', 1},
	{'MANLEY3', 1},
	{'MANLEY6', 1},
	{'MANLEY7', 1},
	{'MANLEY8', 1},
	{'MANLEY9', 1},
	{'MANLEY1', 2},
	{'MANLEY2', 2},
	{'MANLEY4', 2},
	{'MANLEY5', 2},
	{'MANLEYX', 2},

JuliusBorisov

Thanks for finding this issue. Please, report it.

Simplified Chinese is added in 2.5 patch bata. Will you add Traditional Chinese support in official 2.5 patch or you have any plan for the Traditional Chinese support? Thanks.

JuliusBorisov

@TomH Thanks for your question!

There're no plans for it regarding the 2.5 patch.

You may contact us via a post at trow.cc - BG board. I don't think it could be too difficult to convert simplified strings to traditional one. I am the action moderator of the Chinese localization group.
