We're almost there with Patch 2.6!

Steam Beta 2.6.4.0 for Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear is available now for public testing!

"There is strength in numbers, and I am two or three, at least." ~ Minsc.

Based on your feedback on the 2.6.3.0 build, we've decided to include a few more fixes into 2.6— and this is why we need one additional round of beta testing. HUGE thanks to everyone testing these games and helping us make this patch a success.

IMPORTANT:
Patch 2.6 will NOT be the last patch for Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear
