I do seem to have encountered a problem where my quick save didn't take. I would recommend checking your saves periodically. I will keep an eye on this and report it if it continues to be an issue.
Other than that it seems to run ok. I just don't know what the heck half the spell symbols are and can't hover. I will fool around with it and see if there is a touch-hold to bring up the description from the cast bar I am missing.
I wish there was feedback for target orders issued during pause beyond the little weapon symbol on the character but that does seem to work.
The good: The new main menu is much more appealing The renderer seems to be working marvellously, well done here Tap/drag is much better at first glance
The bad: I still have to watch the bloody intro film every time. Seriously, how can hard can it be to understand that the intro is only needed in a new game, NOT EVERY TIME I CHOOSE THE CAMPAIGN?:\ Scrolling lists with active items is still a pain in the arse (see scripts, for example).
I agree, but why don't you click the 'Done' button? The video works like most videos work in iOS.
It is definitely an improvement but have already come across a rather big issue
Character selection sounds aren't playing. My main character is male uses the default voice, the subtitles pop up, but he doesn't say anything. I am still in candlekeep.
Also, scrolling in lists ( like shops ) is extremely sensitive
Yeah, even just scrolling the Inn at Candlekeep is crazy touchy. I end up accidentally selecting things before I can find the item I'm actually shopping for.
On the bright side, the new main font is bee-you-tee-full.

Of course I do. The problem is that I have to do it every bloody time, and that's tedious, absolutely unnecessary and, frankly, ridiculous.
I understand people's frustration with having to wait, but I'm going to ask for a little bit less vitriol in this thread. It's not helping the patch or BGII:EE to be released any faster.
Again, I know that patience is wearing thin. But try to rein in the hate.
Dee, you understand NOTHING! We are waiting for more then ONE year for the german Translation and in the new patch all other languages are present but no german Support! Bravo, you have lost many german Fans now!
Only played for an hour so far but the new font/ui features look wonderful. Also cast entangle with no slow down so assume these effects are resolved. Haven't played in a while so I'm really looking forward to discovering what else has changed.
I have to give beamdog their due credit, this patch is several amazing leaps forward. This is what you should have launched with. It is not perfect, but the things i have encountered are very minor.
I don't understand the appeal for playing this in your own language though, but i have never really understood that. I would prefer to read/play everything in it's original language whenever i can.
Chinese, Korean, and Japanese had an issue with text wrapping that we're currently sorting out, and German (because it includes voice-overs) puts the game's size over the App Store limit, so we're looking at solutions there as well.
Everybody take a deep breath; these things are coming.
@Dee I don't want to sound demanding, considering we just had our awaited patch and thanks for that, but let me ask - how high is dialog.tlk override as a priority? After all, modding is one of BG's strongest points; it's what kept it alive after all these years. Thanks!
Ironically, shortly after I hit the update button I came down with some form of stomach flu and/or food poisoning. Obviously, I am holding Trent and Beamdog responsible, and will submit a bug report!

@Dee there are online games like Clash of the clans, and MMORPGs that don't require full updates: they have minor updates on launch. Do you know if this is something Beamdog has looked into? It would be lovely to have more frequent updates that came into smaller chunks, seeing as how the sound, video, and graphics aren't being updated.
Also: does anyone else notice that the cursor for navigating to the next map is gone?
Update... Working properly now. Even though AppStore listed v1.2 when I downloaded the game (not updated.... Downloaded) it was 1.0.2014. V1.2 updated again afterwards and all seems well... Testing now.
Anyways, I rolled a new man (96 total hahaha) and immediately completed Firebeard's damn scroll quest (which never worked) and got Gorion killed. Thanks
Are you f* kidding me beamdog??? U suck so hard that my brain hurts, you are unable to put a damn 10kb textfile in the app? Thanks for f* us up again, gonna put a 1 star rating and contact apple support for refund, ill never buy another crappy port/remake/game from your company, you told us for more than 1(!) year that we will get german lang. Support, i have waited this long time and paid the full price for this piece of crap.. And what are you doing? F* us up again, thank you for your support..!
And btw: I'm totally glad that i didnt buy your buggy ver. of BG2EE for MAC/PC, gonna buy the gog.com version, cheaper and stable.
I'm very happy with this patch! It seems to me that there's a lot of very rude or very young/immature Germans on this board... There's no need to piss all over these boards with that kind of language and attitude.
I'm Danish, there's no plans for a Danish version of BG:EE, and I don't really care.
Most Europeans understand English pretty well, and even the very angry Germans complaining about having to play this amazing game in English, have no problems shouting and expressing themselves in English here, so I don't get the amount of hate from them in so many threads here.
This patch fixed every serious bug and performance issue I was noticing before, so thank you Beamdog!

GOODBYE YOU LIARS AND CHEATERS!!!
And off to the German appstore to place a well deserved 1-star rating...
