G3: BG2 Fixpack Version 1 Released

[CamDawg]

The Gibberlings Three

 

After two years, eleven development releases, and countless hours from the 20+ member team, version 1 of the BG2 Fixpack is now available. The BG2 Fixpack is a WeiDU compilation of fixes for Baldur's Gate II. With the disappearance of Kevin Dorner and the cessation of activity of the Baldurdash fixpack for BG2, several modders form many modding communities began working on a new WeiDU fixpack to address the numerous bugs that have been identified since Baldurdash. This collaborative effort, including the work of modders from several different modding communities, has resulted in a fixpack that currently includes all of the fixes addressed by Baldurdash (including the Game Text Update) and several hundred new bugfixes. The project is ongoing, and we're working through a substantial list of bugs culled from various sites, the old Baldurdash forums, and our own research.

 

This release addresses the errors from the final beta release, expands existing fixes, and includes a new optional-but-cool component for wizard slayers. Several new fixes have been added; however as the project is no longer beta, new fixes will be introduced in a new component entitled BETA Core Fixes. While the fixes included in this component have undergone testing, they have not seen the extensive 'in the wild' testing of the existing Core Fixes and hence they've been designated beta status. As they receive this testing, they will move to the Core Fixes in future releases. Feedback is strongly encouraged; please join us on the Fixpack forums.
