Hi,

me and a friend are currently in the middle of a playthrough of BG2:EE 1.3 (last version before 2.0 update). Now we were waiting for the 2.0 update, as it would introduce a few nice UI improvements.

But I am reading in many places that BG:SoD multiplayer is broken. Is this also the case for the 2.0 update for BG2:EE? I have not been able to find any clear statement about this anywhere.

Also, what exactly does "broken" mean?

Just wondering whether we should update, or keep waiting. Thanks a lot!

Broken means it doesn't work (failure to connect and crashing to desktop seem prevalent). The 2.0 patch (both games) is absolutely riddled with bugs. You would be well advised to wait, unless you want to play the new content.

This is one of the things that bug me about gog. Why do they remove all downloads of previous versions? I assume that it's cheaper (cdn and support costs) to have only one version, but it would be nice to have access to the last big stable release.

OK, thanks a lot, we'll wait.

Hi again!

Any news on multiplayer in the current version of BG2:EE?

Thanks!

the current version is 2.2.66.0 and multiplayer works (gog games)... you always need the same game version as the other players

Great, thanks, we will give it a try.
