Have installed patch on january, had some crash bugs.
Have installed patch on 9 february, have quick-save issues (only quick-save 1 is working, quick-loading keeps loading quick save 4, which is not a good save. I tried quick-saving multiple times of course. No image on the screen of saves eather.)

I'm on windows 10, using Steam.

Please make sure your Antivirus/Firewall doesn't prevent changes to Documents - Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition folder (the one where saves are stored)

Adding my Bg documents (where there are saves) to exceptions didn't work.
Adding the game on steamapps/common to exceptions worked.
Thx.

Hello,

We've implemented some minor changes to Polish SoD translation, based on the latest players' feedback. The current translation version is 1.11, which is reflected in the credits strref. Please remember to export the current dialogue for the next release (the version in build 2.6.3.0 is 1.5, which is slightly out of date). We promise, this is the last update before patch 2.6 release.

Regards,
Polish SoD Translation Team
