As i understand, since this game uses the Infinity Engine, like Baldur's Gate I and II, the Widescreen mod is essentially the same for this game as for Baldur's Gate, therefore, i have a question that maybe someone can help me with so i don't waste my time :)

Does Icewind Dale suffer from the same problem BG and BGII has wherein you have to start a multiplayer match in window mode so the game doesn't freeze?
I tried the widescreen mod with BG2 and i wasn't able to play multiplayer because the mod forces fullscreen.

Anyways, thanks :)

Again a bit late with this, but from what i've read you do need to start in windowed mode to play multiplayer.

I haven't tried multiplayer myself but my netbook (1024 x 600) runs in 800 by 600 like a dream and so far i've had no need of the widescreen mod so i don't see a problem there. My suggestion is try it without the mod.
