The Beamblog announces that Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition has been patched to version 2.5.

Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition 2.5 Patch

The 2.5 update for Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition is finally here!
We've made over 500 fixes and features throughout the 2.5 Infinity Engine updates and now this much-anticipated update for Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition is coming to Beamdog, Steam, GoG, Google Play, and the App Store!
Stay tuned for more information about the Mac App Store release.
If you don't see the BGII:EE 2.5 update, please be patient as some platforms are slower to update than others.
New Localization:

  • Simplified Chinese

  • Korean

  • Russian

  • Polish

New V/O:

  • German

  • Italian

  • Polish


Top features:

  • Road to 2.0 community portraits added
  • Tablet dialogue buttons added
  • Added the Priest of Tempus kit
  • "Take All" button added to containers
  • Improved multiplayer stability
  • Hexxat is now able to survive the final Throne of Bhaal encounter
  • Importing a ranger allows the selection of a Racial Enemy
  • Tenser's Transformation no longer disables innate spells

There is now an OHFIXTTYR player AI script that can be used by players to fix their existing BG:EE/SoD Priest of Tyr characters to the new kit value. Existing priests of Tyr can continue through the game without issue; when they're ready to export their character they can simply assign this script and press 'D'. A 'Priest of Tyr' bit of floating text should pop up and they'll be granted some special abilities (Chaos of Battle and Holy Power).
Unfortunately, it's not a 'clean' fix. Despite being the correct kit value, their class in BG:EE/SoD will be listed as 'cleric' instead of 'Priest of Tyr', hence why we recommend doing this only before export.
Occasionally updates can take a while to distribute, especially on Google Play and the App Store. We appreciate your patience as the update populates throughout.
Watch out for more news on our social channels about 2.5 updates to Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition and Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear.
Here's the full list of bug fixes and features (please, note that this list does not cover the general Infinity Engine tickets, these will be published when the 2.5 patch series is completed)!
