How do I download this patch for my steam game?

[Julius Borisov]

Just opt for a beta on the beta tab on Steam.

bgee_1.3 or bg1_beta??

Does this patch fix the diasble trap skill label to read properly? It currently reads "Set Traps", yet it seems to affect your skill at disabling traps rather than setting them.

Never hear about this one. Are you sure? Can you post screenshots?

Has the beta finished for v2.5?

There's https://steamcommunity.com/app/257350/discussions/0/1621726179585944537/ for Baldur's Gate 2 which seems to indicate the beta ended for BG2, so I just want clarification on the first games beta program.

We’re aiming to release the 2.5 update for Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition today.

The 2.5 patch for Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition, and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition includes hundreds of fixes. According to Trent, the Infinity Engine “repays bug fixes with more bugs”.

So there isn't currently a release date for the final v2.5 update for either Baldur's Gate games? And cool beans @ Ice Wind Dale news.

This is the update where Mizhena will finally get fixed, right? I'm waiting until it's done so I wouldn't know, but did anyone who played the beta notice any kind of improvements? Is there ever going to be any kind of improvements? I thought she was going to get expanded so that she was an actual character.

I can't access my Beamdog bug tracker account at the moment (waiting on it to send me a Reset Password email) but I think this will be an alright spot for this information:

Please Beamdog, update all your games on Steam to take advantage of this new Steam feature (thanks!):
https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/common_redist

It will both reduce the file size of the game installations on the end-user's HDD as well as reduce the amount of data needed to be downloaded when performing a new install of the games.

Edit: Nevermind, I got the password reset email and realized Firefox was auto-filling the wrong account name. I made a feature request here: https://support.baldursgate.com/issues/37937
