    I just got v2.6.6.0 on my phone. If I run into something I'll let you know.

    I noticed that pressing "back" finally gives the boo conversation that allows me to close the app from the app without having to press the generic home/app management buttons on my Xperia. Nice!

    It's probably not recommended to load an existing save from 2.5 and continue in the middle of BG:EE, is it?

    If it's an unmodded game, then you should be able to continue without many problems.

    I haven't been playing long enough to fill out the survey yet, but I've noticed issues with the touch sensitivity of the buttons. Rolling for stats and distributing thief skills and weapons pips, often tapping just once makes the numbers jump more than 1 point ahead or roll 2-3 times in quick succession instead of just once.
    I thought it might be my tablet at first, but I tried BG2 to compare (which is still 2.5) and didn't have the same issue there.
    Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 with Android 11.

    Could you provide additional details about Mouse Support? Has anybody tried with, say, a Bluetooth mouse...?

    This is what is currently possible to do on iOS devices, so I was wondering if the situation has now improved...

    Although I had compared it to 2.5 BG2:EE immediately yesterday to exclude other causes, I couldn't reproduce the same problem on the same device in the 2.6 beta of BG:EE today, so it was probably some other external influence and not the patch.

    Water, wet hands, fingers or smudges can influence the touch functionality. Could you have experienced something along those lines?

    I have not noticed any of that yet.

    I don't think so, because I switched from BG:EE 2.6 beta to BG2:EE 2.5 repeatedly to confirm, and it didn't occur there.
    But as I said, I couldn't reproduce it a day later, so who knows, maybe it was lagging for some mysterious reason of its own.
