6:00 AM | Eddie Park | Comment on this story
Contraband Entertainment's Chris Jacobson recently posted a message in the forums at MacBaldur outlining further details on the upcoming beta patch for Baldur's Gate II. He notes that the patch is nearly ready, and outlines various issues, either fixed or not, and gives reasons for the ones that haven't been fixed.
The issues that have been fixed include:
- Spellbook Full assertions.
- Rest Encounters fixed.
- Moving items in inventory/containers assertion MAYBE fixed (not sped up; deeper, potentially unsolvable issues with that).
Among the issues that have yet to be fixed are as follows:
- OS X 3D speed - sorry, this looks like it's a problem in OS X Open GL.
- OS X 32 bit speed - at the moment, run it in 16 bit. Hopefully Apple will fix this issue in OS X Carbon.
- OS X Multiplay - only happens for some users, myself not being one of them.
- Inventory screen slowdowns - haven't been able to work this one out yet.
Jacobson also notes that people who want to receive the patch need to reapply by sending the following information to chris@contrabandent.com:
- REAL Name
