w00t!! just got hold of bg from amazon market place for £15

does anyone know of a patch for XP or is it a case of running it as 95?

Mm i guess there aren`t any xp-patches since the game is rather old compared to xp.

btw: i haven`t patched my game yet (i think, it was installed already but the ring of wizardry near FAI was still there, and satis said it would disappear if it`s patched) and didn`t have any troubles yet.

Never had much troubles with bugs in bg1, unless i consider the Totsc-maps, who caused me some troubles sometimes.

So it`s not that critical to patch your game unless you start playing totsc.

i think

im having problems running Commandos in XP, it plays, but too quickly.

well, i've installed both components with each getting the latest patches i managed to find from bioware.

i cannot BELIEVE the difference btw bg and bg2!!! inventory, character sheet, you name it. and the graphics suck...

and jaheria actually looks BETTER! why the hell did they chance portraits...

Yeah well if you want nice graphics you`d better not play bg1. Only thing that is a bit annoying is the slow movement rate compared to bg2. Now i got my boots of speed and i send someone (hidden preferably)around the whole map to see where i got to be. Because if i have to wait for everyone it takes forever. Especially now i`m in the city.

i still haven`t patched it, although i just had some weird blue screen when i wanted to use polymorph self, changing cd, minimalize and maximalize, and it was okay again.
