You should be able to alter the FPS in the Baldur.ini file. AI updates are separate from the frame rate, there should be a separate variable in the configuration file.
Playing Baldur's Gate at 30 FPS is so damn lame.... Played the series for years at 60 FPS, so its like watching a turtle walking across the screen... YAWN!!!!! Puts me to sleep EVERY time.... Fix it so you can change it to 60 FPS because the game just plain SUCKS at 30.
I changed it in the ini file, but it does not seem to work. I do not have BG2 on my computer, maybe someone should check what the correct line from the BG2.ini would be to change the speed, since that game does have the option.
How do you keep track of what is happening during combat if you speed it up? I think the combat already is pretty fast and hectic, especially with a full party.

Pause button.. and it doesn't take 5 minutes to walk across a map with the speed maxed.
Do none of you people remember bgconfig? It allowed you to set anywhere from 15-60 updates per second. Default is 30. I always ran on 60. 30 is painfully god damn slow. There is currently way to set this in BGEE and it's infuriating. Enhanced edition my ass.

First useful reply in this thread, lol. Yes, I remember this clearly. 30fps is definitely stupid slow and needs a bump up to at least 45 fps. It just takes forever for your party to walk around a map with such a low framerate.
*****Updating Maximum Frame Rate in baldur.ini does nothing****** so please stop suggesting this. Overhaul must have for some reason locked the framerate at 30fps. Hopefully this can somehow be unlocked because everything is so painfully slow. Slower movement means slower progression, and is especially painful when you forgot to do something and have to walk all the way back somewhere. Yea, there is fast travel, but that doesn't do anything if your destination is on the other ass end of the map.
Animation is also quite clunky with 30fps as well. Yes, this graphics engine is 14+ years old, but still a higher framerate could provide some compensation.

Agree 100%. The game is simply not worth playing at 30; simply too slow. I'm going to wait until someone fixes this issue. I do use ctrl + J to port all over the map, but the walk speed is just too slow to justify a playthrough from me.
The only way is to play a modded version of the original BG. Then you can increase the framerate to 60. Use BGT or TUTU. You'll probably have to wait a bit before the developers fix this.
bg2 actually can run at 90fps, that what i have my bg2 run at
I have no idea what your talking about. In the Original BG2 and Throne I dont believe you could go past 60. If you did then I believe it didn't make a difference. If your talking about BG:EE then typing in 90 or 200 or 60 means nothing as it doesn't change anything. The game is capped at 30
I can't believe there isn't more complaining about this. Were a bunch of people really playing at 30 all these years? I wouldn't let Overhaul pay me to play at 30. 40 at the very least is necessary.
its the way BG works.. 30fps for both animation and each turn time. so if you have 30 fps, you have 6 second for each round, if u increase 30fps u shorten the round time. but ye... the animation looks bad with low fps like 30.. I like to set it at least with 36 in previous edition. 60 is too fast for me, because enemy mages then cast magic like crazy fast lol
for all those people who say increasing the frame rate doesnt make a difference, are complete trolls, 30 fps is god awfull slow, and yes if you increase it to 60 fps, time in game does double because it is playing double speed, but remember people, if you dont want to play 60 fps, dont set it to that, but for us people who cant function at 30, we want our 60, in bg2/tob does run at 90 and it runs like lightning, and i love every bit of it, when you only have 1 hour a day of free time, playing a game 2 or 3 times faster speed is much better in my opinion, i dont have time to wait for my slug ass time to crawl across the map, oi

Well said. I don't have the free time to snail pace around the game. Not playing until this is fixed.

Search the value "30" (It is for AI update par seconds - but I don't recall the name properly).
It's just before the path finding nodes.
It didnt work though, I increased it to 45 and my speed and framerate is still the same (monitoring in MSI afterburner shows its still 30 FPS).
Well maximum frame rate is there but it does completly nothing...

I could be wrong about all of this though.
so if you have 30 fps, you have 6 second for each round, if u increase 30fps u shorten the round time.

60 is too fast for me, because enemy mages then cast magic like crazy fast lol
