2.7 Beta updated with ALL CAPS fix, Russian SoD translation & iOS beta access
Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition · published
Patch 2.7.2.0 for the Infinity Engine beta is out now for BG:EE, SoD, BGII:EE, and IWD:EE!
Here are the patch notes:
[BG1, BG2 & IWD] Fixed the 2.7.1.0 issue where English and other Latin-script languages would appear in ALL CAPS.
NOTE: If you played in a language that appeared in all-caps in 2.7.1, you must make a manual edit to the Baldur.lua file for this fix to apply.
Baldur.lua file can be found at <user>/Documents/<game>/Baldur.lua Ex. “C:\\Users\\<USER>\\Documents\\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition\\Baldur.lua”
These steps are only necessary if you are experiencing the all-caps bug.
Option 1 (if you do not make personal edits to Baldur.lua)
Delete your Baldur.lua file, the game will recreate it with correct values
Option 2 (if you have edits in Baldur.lua you wish to keep)
Open Baldur.lua in a text editor
find all lines like the one below and delete them (a “Fonts” line that uses “STONESML”):
SetPrivateProfileString('Fonts','en_US','STONESML')
[BG1-SoD] We have added the following community-translated language to the game: Russian.
