Today we are thrilled to be releasing v 1.3.2053 of Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition. The update is already available for Windows on Beamdog and Steam, the Mac update is available on Beamdog, and Android can be updated through Google Play.

Crash Fixes

- Game no longer freezes when canceling an imported priest character

Features and Gameplay Enhancements

- Added "Font Size" to Graphics Options (changing this during play will empty the combat log)

    Oh my, the biggest annoyance I had have been subsided! Holding tab now displays the characters name and HP together with Commoners and others having floating names above their heads!

    The UI is much improved over the previous one, as well as the font quality!

    Thanks a bunch!

    iPad as well. As soon as it's approved by Apple it will be available through both Mac App Store and the iOS-based iTunes App Store.

    @Dee my standalone installer don't show apply patch option yet (only Play button is active). Should I worry or should I wait a bit longer for it? Seems that other have the patch accessible already...
