Go into your documents and into the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition Folder. Open Baldur.ini with wordpad. Scroll down to "Maximum Frame Rate" and change it from 30 to 60. I think that will do the trick.
Thanks alot for the response! I tried what you said, but when I load the game back up again it seems to still run at 30fps. Im not sure if I have done something wrong, but when I go back into the baldur.ini file it is still set at 60?

If you do that, the game will run twice as fast since the graphics and the engine itself cannot be easily separated. There are other threads asking this and they get this same answer. If you must have someone to blame for this travesty, blame the BG1 team from 1998.

Thats kind of the point... we want it to run twice as fast because its annoyingly slow at 30.... BUT IT DOESN'T WORK.
I asked about this back on the AMA and was told (by a redditor, not a dev) that the config would be an option in-game. I only played at 45 FPS, but even that's a 50% jump. If we really can't use that core feature...man, why aren't I just playing Tutu? =(
I never really understand that, i mean, it may be me, but I don't see any difference betwen 30 and 60 fps. Dunno if my eyes are of a different kind, but i tried on different games, and nop, can't see anything different.

well you can see the difference... but on the other hand you can't... eyes can only see up to 25 fps, that part didn't change... but it's like changing a monitor from 50hz to 80hz... while you can't see it... you can still see it...
personally... i play a lot ofgames on 20-30 fps since i have an old graphics card and i don't mind at all... when it drops under 25fps it's a bit "jumpy" but unplayable... silly gamers
there's a difference between notice a difference and see... i can see if my old CRT is running on 50 or 75 Hz... but not cause i see it flickering, it's cause it hurts my eyes... if i had played games in 60+fps for a few years, i would prolly also "see" games running on 30 fps... but it still wouldn't bother me to the point of "i can't play this"... again... i've played stuff like gw2 on 15 fps and i can still play it...
well... yes and no... everyone can think what they want... that part is true... but to call a game unplayable just cause of low fps (or it being slow) it just plain silly... having a shooter with 5 fps might be unplayable... a rpg is still playable with even 5 fps... it's just tedious ;P wouldn't mind it being a bit faster tho... since i usually have to surf the web while waiting on my char to cross the map ^^
Lol apparently i'm the only guy in the world who has always played at 30 fps, because right now with EE, everything seems entirely natural in regards to speed. I didn't even know u can increase the speed.

Not true you can tell the difference in much higher FPS. It only means that you need a minimum FPS of around 25fps for it to appear to be real action and not a fast slideshow. People often get those two confused.
For those of you who're having difficulty understanding what is being asked here, the FPS issue has nothing to do with visual acuity or the rendering of graphics. The issue is that, for those of us who regularly increase the FPS in infinity engine games to 60, it's taking (for example) 22 seconds to walk from the starting point to where Gorion is standing, when we're used to it taking 11 seconds. All movement in the game feels insufferably slow, if you've been playing these games at double speed for 14 years now.

Quoted for importance. We want things to happen faster not look better.
For me it is a combination of the characters moving too slow, as well as the animations of the characters being way too noticeably choppy. Doubling the speed helps out both situations considerably. Another annoying thing is pathing nodes. They should be set by default to be way higher than they were 14 years ago. Computers are much more capable of handling higher settings than what they left them for both of these.
It just seems like an incredibly stupid oversight to me not to increase them by default, or to make it easy for the end user to do so in game.

It is also bound to the fact hat there are rounds, turns, and so on ; it's not a real "real-time" RPG.
So you can speed up the game to 33 frame per second, it's faster but still playable.
The fps setting in the ini file is for maximum and for some reason it doesn't actually increase your fps.

Just because you're satisfied doesn't mean that people who aren't are "silly"

In this game, I do not. Though the game is faster if you increase the IA updates per seconds (I have set it on 33)
