Is there a patch in the works to correct the Icewind Dale EE PS4 version bug where insane mode only gives double bonus XP for killing enemies but not quest rewards (correct rewards should be 100% bonus XP for both quest rewards AND defeating enemies)?
From what I understand this has been an issue for Nintendo Switch as well as the PS4 version with a previous post on the matter in 2020.
Please can anyone advise of any fixes/solutions for this?
Many thanks
How can i turn off this mess above all ?
Its unplayable.
Somehow its turn on, and i cant turn it off.
Xbox BG 1 EE.
I'm new to the forum but have been a long-time fan of both Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale. I recently heard about the new patch that's been released for consoles and wanted to share my thoughts and see if anyone has experienced similar improvements or issues.
Firstly, I'm really impressed with the effort to keep these classic games updated for modern consoles. It's not often that developers continue to support and improve upon games that are, in essence, considered classics or even relics by some. The dedication to ensuring these games are accessible and playable on current-gen hardware is commendable.
Regarding the patch itself, I've noticed a significant improvement in load times and overall stability. The game feels smoother, and some of the graphical glitches that were present before seem to have been ironed out. It's refreshing to see these quality-of-life improvements that make the gaming experience more enjoyable.
However, I did encounter a minor issue where the audio seems to desync slightly during some of the cutscenes. It's not game-breaking by any means, but it does detract from the immersion. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, have you found a workaround?
Also, I'm curious about the community's thoughts on the UI improvements. I've found them to be a mixed bag; while some changes make navigation and inventory management much easier, others seem to have made certain aspects more cumbersome. What's your take on this?
Lastly, I'm eager to dive deeper into these games with the patch applied. If there are any specific changes or improvements that you've loved or found particularly beneficial, please share! Conversely, if there are areas where you feel the patch has missed the mark, I'd be interested in hearing about those experiences as well.
Looking forward to your insights and happy gaming!
Neverwinter NIghts - i didnt like the "improvements" that made the game heavier than it was. The classic edition was lighter and the graphics enhancements arent much of a big deal, the UI got full of graphical options that i surely didnt/dont miss from classic's age. The only good thing about the UI is that we dont see copies of teh same resolution like we do on classic build.
Planescape: Torment - The enhancements such as being able to zoom in/out the screen is REALLY welcome. But the fact it kept the original UI aside keeping the small GUI to display the descriptions of item/weapons/etc forcing us to scroll EVERY DAMN TIME we want to see a description without need is a pain in the butt (This happens with all IE games). The entire GUI of Planescape should have been changed to something different and better.
