    Wait again... beta still installing for BG2....

    Now it's done. Asking for location permissions again?? Accept and.... it works!

    I didn't accept location permission and it still worked. But yeah the file is quite extensive, you have to be patient for it to install completely.

    Regarding the location permissions, the game warns you that you are not on Wi-Fi when you start multiplayer on Android now. The game also notifies you when you fall off of Wi-Fi during a game. For both of these notifications, the game needs access to your Wi-Fi status.

    Unfortunately, Android wraps that up in the Location permission. We don't access location, we just need to check if you are connected to a Wi-Fi access point or not.

    Thanks for the clarification. I assumed it was because of multiplayer and therefore didn't enable it, not because I feared being spied on. But it's interesting to know that Android links access to Wi-Fi connection with location permission, because I've been wondering with several apps why on earth they'd need my location. Now it makes more sense.

    It's because modern Wi-Fi offer location services themselves to assist with Navigation, so if you can access Wlan information you can also determine the location (usually).

    Hi, I have tried the release and also beta version of Icewind Dale, but I can't access the contents of android/data/com.beamdog.icewinddale, so I have no way of using custom portraits or managing saves. Or getting to Baldur.lua.

    Are there any workarounds I should be aware of?
    I tried deleting temp/cache with no results.

    Also, there's no option for android 12 in the feedback form :)

    I'm on version 2.6.6.1 on android for BG1, BG2, and IWD. I'm a beta tester on all of these apps, but I don't see a way to update to 2.6.6.6?

    Opt-out of the beta version to play the latest live version.
