Throne of Bhaal BETA Patch 26499 4.2MB Download

This BETA patch is being provided to fix a particular issue with the Throne of Bhaal 26498 patch (above). If you are having a problem with save and load times noticeably increasing, the new Throne of Bhaal 26499 BETA patch has been found to resolve the problem. The patch is applicable to the English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish versions of Throne of Bhaal.

Note: Please keep in mind that this patch has received limited testing and so is marked as BETA. You should only install this if you are having very slow save and load times in Throne of Bhaal. If you are not experiencing these problems, do not install this. Installation of the 26499 BETA patch must only be done after the 26498 patch is installed.

Instructions

To repair a slow saving/loading saved game, you must first have the BETA patch installed. The patch installer copies a new BGMain.exe into your Baldur’s Gate II root directory. Then start the game and load the affected game (with the slow loading time), and resave it (the saving time will continue to be slow at this point). The save game has now been fixed and future saving/loading of the saved game will now take the normal amount of time. This new BETA patched version of Throne of Bhaal is still multiplayer compatible with the 26498 patched version of the game.

Throne of Bhaal Trailer 8.2MB / 17MB Download (Ext.): Big or Small
Interplay released a spiffy trailer for the expansion to BG2, Throne of Bhaal. You will get to see a short intro to ToB and a cutscene showing a bloody siege. Two versions of the same movie are available for download; the smaller one being for users with slower connections.
Baldur's Gate II Demo circa 630MB Download below
The Baldur's Gate II demo covers chapter one of the game in which you must find a way out of your captor's prison. This demo uses a complete version of the game engine so you will be able to create your character, watch the movies, talk with non-player characters and fight. You can import your character and saved game into Baldur's Gate II if you decide to purchase the game. The demo does not have multiplayer enabled.
The demo at FilePlanet has been split into 7 parts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
BG2 Electricity Review by Olan1Durai (Submitted) 121kb Download
This is a comical Physics review done for the author's high school AP Physics Class. Please note that this was made to entertain, and that some of the questions may not have the physics concept completely correct. This is the complete (and corrected) form of the version posted in SP's Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn forum. Several people found the plain version entertaining, so the author wanted this greatly enhanced version to be made available to them.
Ryyme's Tunes (Submitted) Varies Download below

"Thieves" (5.1MB)
A very catchy techno tune with various voice clips of the game's thief characters mixed in.

"Viconia vs Vhailor" (6.7MB)
Here is the second, much more "techno-y" tune for you all to enjoy!

"Be Wary" (5MB)
The third tune for you all to enjoy! This one is more of a hip-hop style closer to that of "Thieves" with some scratching and added elements.

BG2: SoA NPC Interactions by Ed Smith (Submitted) 5.9MB Download
A hillarious package of a few merged taunts/arguments in single .mp3's. Viconia about Minsc's tattoo, Viconia telling Valygar to bathe, Yoshimo calling Mazzy a 'cute samurai', Viconia calling Jaheira a 'crossbred mongrel', and several monologues like Haer'dalis's limerick of Edwin.

Baldur's Gate II Press Release 53kb Read
The BIS/BioWare BG II press release from Nov. 11. It is still more or less accurate although much has changed since then. Compare it with the FAQ and you'll see the differences.
RPG Vault (Extended) Chat Logs by CatsMeow (Submitted) 48kb Download
Logs of a chat with the Baldur's Gate II development team, "sponsored" by the Vault Network. I've put logs from both channels (where questions were asked and of the one where they were answered) together in one file. If you actually decide to read it all (it was left unedited) you'll be able to see that the most interesting questions were answered after the end of the chat or not at all. Kudos to the channel operators for showing us how chats are NOT supposed to be done.

Another addition to the bunch of chat logs with the Baldur's Gate II development team, again by the IGN Vault (or RPG Vault if you prefer). This one is probably the last before the game will be released and it contains some interesting info.
Ultimate SpeedZone Chat Log N/A Read
Another addition to the endless bunch of chat logs with the Baldur's Gate II development team, this time by a pretty unknown site and AFTER the release of BGII. The chat ran through a java client which wasn't all that popular judging by the comments. Some questions posted are pretty stupid and should've been ignored by moderators in my opinion, but all in all the chat was pretty interesting.

Demogorgon Wallpaper 116kb View
Demogorgon wallpaperThis gigantic tanar'ri is 18 feet tall and reptilian. Demogorgon has two heads which bear the visages of twisted and evil baboons. His skin is plated with snake-like scales. His body and legs are those of a giant lizard. Rather than arms, Demogorgon has massive tentacles. This Prince of Demons is the essence of malevolent power and all that he beholds is destroyed.
