Happy Friday!

Nietzsche, how I've missed ya.

ajwz

Nietzsche is not dead. We have saved him, you and I.

Also, what was the issue with the thief and bard xp cap before?

HaHaCharade

Ha - Glad to have the Nietzsche quote back!!! :D

Congratulations and thank you, another great and extensive patch! Got to say, I'm really impressed with the post-release support for this game. Few others get so many patches in this short a time after release, and what's more, the improvements reflect fan feedback so we know you're paying attention to the little details. It would be easy to ignore things like the intro quote, but it matters to some and you recognise that.

Thank you, on behalf of us all!

"* Tutorial items no longer sellable when exported to main game"
How much money could one make?

marfig

You gathered your party before venturing forth! Thank you!

Adul

I'm glad the bugs are getting fixed and that the inn and dungeon movies got placed back into the game. Now perhaps the other missing movies can be remade as well. Even if we got them one by one in the coming updates, I'd still be very happy.

reedmilfam

Now we just need a fix for my character dying. I mean, it must be a bug because I'm awesome and my character is even moreso! Somehow, the game fails to recognize this and my bug reports get spammed with the "Dude, you're not Tiax". I don't get it.

Happy patch dance!

Should we delete the workaround movies we've created prior to patching?

Tanthalas

@Quineloe

They'll probably be automatically deleted.

Silk

Really great work on that one. Thank you!

I'd rather have a definite answer than accidently corrupting both my clients. Takes forever to download this game at 200 byte/sec

@CameronTofer @Tanthalas
Are these changes all in the iPad build recently submitted? I assume they are not in the Mac version submitted last week (so we'd have to wait till January for these changes on Mac.)

Etamin

Thanks a lot for adding Nitsche quotation and missing sentence in starting movie, even if it sounds more like 'thereareothersicanshowyouplease' :) (prolonging this scene somehow would really help it). Do you plan to add more missing movies in next patches (like Gnoll Stronghold or Wyvern)?

Tanthalas

@Quineloe

Where are those workaround movies placed? The Override folder gets nuked when the game updates if I'm not mistaken.

Tanthalas

@Evinfuilt

I don't have that kind of info.

No, they're in the movies folder, where all the legit movies also are.

Ragnarok

@Quineloe
Simply rename the movies you added for the workarounds with an "_" before them, for backup purpose. The new movies should be added into the folder when you update the game. Should anything fail, you can always revert to the old files.

reedmilfam

I skip the movie after the quote, anyway. I do wish we'd get the coolie TSR red dragon back, but I think that's outside of the bounds.

Anyway, I ruined my game and have to re-start because I need +3 weapons or better to get out of my predicament. Grr. Should've remembered that...

Syao_ran

I'm really thankful, really but i'm going to make an observation anyway. Single player was playable since the beginning, even with all the bugs. Multiplayer wasn't, and still isn't. I'm not going to tell the devs what or what shouldn't be done first but...shouldn't game-breaking features get more priority than singleplayer bugs? (I really wanna play BG with my friends but it's unplayable, even with the small 3+ players can see eachother fix).

Tanthalas

@reedmilfam

You need +3 weapons for what?

Alkalurops

I just updated to this patch and... are you sure the spawning system is working as intended?

just asking...
(by the way: check out what Safana and Dorn are saying in that screenshot. uhm...)

Nathan

@Etamin I had to work with what was there, unfortunately - no easy way (at this time) to extend the scene, but I agree.. a little longer pacing would be preferable. =) I think it works in the sense that Sarevok's already reaching for the guy, and he's trying his final bargaining chip before getting choked, y'know?

Space_hamster

Yay.


Oh wait...I'm on the iPad.... ::::begins to cry:::::

ZelgadisGW

Thanks for nice update.

Wiggles

Good to hear. Thanks everyone!!

I know there are definitly more pressing matters and you all deserve a break first, but when can we expect servers for multiplayer? Even a time frame would be good.

smeagolheart

anyone pipe in on the Various UI screens touched up? At work and can't fire it up at the moment

Cribbian

Any specifics about the quest/Journal log fixes?

The Journal page is still messed up for me (entries in disorder, no scrolling)
