The update was released on Oct 31.
Great, but I meant the update that adds more multiclasses, AoE visible spell effects, and more
It's sad to hear this
I want to buy Planescape but I still can't. Is there an update on when or if the game will ever be available again?
Thank you have a nice day!
Good afternoon, JuliusBorisov! Since I couldn't get any feedback on the forums, I decided to write a message to you personally with a very important question: Please, tell me how long we Android users have to wait for the update of all Beamdog game ports? BG EE, SoD, ID EE, Planescape EE are still not running on android 14. It's been quite a long time, and no clear date for updates from the developers. This really upsets me as a fan of these game series, who honestly bought all the games, but can not run them. I hope at least that you will be able to give a clear answer and hope that we will still wait for workable versions of your ports this year!
P.S.: I apologize if I suddenly wrote the message a bit unclear. I don't speak English myself, so I had to use a translator:з
Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
I am writing on behalf of the Czech translation team.
I wanted to kindly ask if it would be possible to access/add a Czech translation into Android version of the Baldur's Gate 2 since we finished the translation already in July 20222 after a very long time (unfortunatelly).
As mentioned above, the translation was completed in July 2022 and since than all the necessarry data files should be present in the official Beamdog translation tools.
Since we are also waiting for the planned update of the game to Android version 14, we would like to kindly remind you of our translation and ask if it would be possible to finally add our translation to the Android version of the game.
This need is unfortunately an increasingly urgent and desperate, as with the newer versions of Android (which increasingly restrict access to the files of installed applications) it is becoming more and more difficult to get the Czech translation (applies to any unapproved translation or mods) into the game on our own (many users nowadays can't do it anymore, or rather give up).
I have little to none knowledge or experience with programming and coding Android apps, but I imagine the addition of the Czech translation could be almost a formality - decompile the necessarry APK libraries, add the "czech_lang" folder in the proper game directory, compile the libraries again, and access the choice of the Czech language in the game menu?
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards
Michal (aka Caszidy).
The issue with the message function is known, it'll be worked upon (no ETA though).
Eventually, we plan to update the mobile platform and the PC platform--and include all possible translations, even (!) the PST one for Czech. To start working on those updates, we need to finish some other stuff we've been working for 2 years already. It's very slow with a small team, unfortunately.
