although i bought steam version of beyond divinity i wanted to know..seen has i,m having problems centralizing the characters.do you think it would install off original box version..and if so would the resolution be 800x600 or something like that rather than the updated ones on steam?reason i ask is that i bought a collectors edition of BD on ebay for £2.50 and i,m wondering wether or not to replace what i have installed.to see if it works correctly.

So I guess restarting the game a few times and playing around (all over the place) didn't fix the problem with the camera?

Did you try emailing [e-mail]?


You can install the disk version in a different folder, and be able to start either version. The only potential conflict would be with patches (the disk version patch checks the registry for the game install path and version). I don't know if Steam uses the registry, or the same keys in the registry, but I don't think there is going to be another patch soon for either version (though if there is it would be easy enough to fix the registry values).
BTW at least some DVD versions of Beyond Divinity contained the 1.47 game install and the separate 1.49 patch.

The disk version of Beyond Divinity supports standard definition resolutions up to 1280x960. You can manually set the resolution, but I don't recall if that could cause any problems (with Divine Divinity the game would be fine at other than supported resolutions, but opening the main map could cause a crash).

There is a possible inventory corruption bug in Vista/7 (don't know about 8) with the disk version, which can be prevented by playing the game in Win9x compatibility mode (a couple people reported specific other compatibility modes that worked, if they had problems with Win9x).
