Patch too big
Hello. I'm running a PC from 2001 and haven't upgraded it since, alongside an analoge internet connection. For some reason, it takes forever to update a 2020s triple-A game, and I don't have enough storage to install it. I just can't figure out why Larian would go out of their way to block me, a very representative gamer in 2024, from playing their game? I was hoping if I complain in the forum, Larian makes sure the next large content patch is shipped to me as a convenient stack of floppy disks.

Really? A pc from 2001 didn't make you suspect that the OP is just B*llsh*t?
Still waiting for my c64 port and Gameboy version for some mobile gaming.

If they don't support Gameboy then they don't care about the community at all, they just have to optimize, how hard can that be, geez

Don't know what you're talking about. BG3 is running just fine on my 1981 IBM PC 5150.

It's a special 5 1/4" floppy version -- and there are 300,000 disks -- but it runs like a top, I say. The OP is talking nonsense. Sure, patches this big require me to have an 18 wheeler deliver them, but such is the joy of vintage gaming hardware.

My only beef: I've been bugging the devs is optimized CGA 640x480 support. I mean, the tilde button that toggles enemy outlines just makes everyone look possibly friendly or possibly enemy. They'll get that in the next patch, I'm sure.

ikr? the 8mb of a gameboy cartridge should be plenty of space for any game with enough optimization.

Gee, not everyone's roads are accessible to 18 wheelers, mr privileged

But I agree that 640x480 support is missing, preventing Millions of potential players from enjoying the game

To be fair, they support mac, and unlike mac, Game Gear is actually a gaming platform.
