It's kind of a little thing, but I was curious as to why BGII only updated to 2.5.16.6 rather than 2.5.17.0.

[Julius Borisov]

Because BGII:EE got the 2.5 patch earlier than BG:EE. The 2.6 patch will make the games work on the same build again.

release date of 2.6 patch ?

[Julius Borisov]

The 2.6 patch for Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition, Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear, and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition is moving forward according to plan.
2.6 will be released along with the Dice, Camera, Action! Voice and Portrait Pack. We’re just finishing up the DCA! portraits, and the community won portraits are on the to-do list. It takes quite a while to make a good quality portrait, and we want to respect the quality of the original games.

We recently tried to play our savegames from last year again, and have massive problems playing online with 3 people 2 chars each. Things like eternally increasing hp count on Imoen, her items being a copy of someone elses, and now that we traveled out of the Saradush to the forest, there's an empty dialogue that keeps popping up. We had to fight Gromnir again as well, as the save after the fight had Imoens items lost and duplicated the items of another character.
Any advice on something major we have/have not done to cause this?

@Tillski The HP count and items sound like this bug:

Hello. Recently encountered an issue in multiplayer. A few days ago, my friends and I were able to play in multiplayer. We went a few days without playing and now when we try to play, we can't join eachother's game. However, if we opt into the "v1.3 beta" we can play multiplayer together. Any ideas on what could be the issue?

playing bg2 ee SoA v 2.5.16.6 no mods. several conversations consist only of "Invalid #" where the NPC lines and the player choices are just this. just wondering if this has been adressed and i have just missed the resolution

[Julius Borisov]

This is most likely due to your character using the BG1 soundset. Please go to the Record Screen and change the voiceset of your character. BG1 and BG2 have different soundsets.
