Baldur's Gate I, II, and Icewind Dale Enhanced Editions get major bugfixes in new 2.6 update
A handful of classic games are getting some major fixes. A massive patch just went out for Baldur's Gate I, Baldur's Gate II, Siege of Dragonspear, and Icewind Dale's Enhanced Editions, bringing hundreds of stability improvements, new language translations, voice-acted lines, and moving from 32-bit to 64-bit architecture. The Windows, macOS, and Linux versions of the game benefit from this 2.6 patch, while an identical one is currently being worked on for the mobile port versions of the games, of which will also add in crossplay between phone and PC. With the update, each of the Enhanced Editions will now run better on modern builds, at the cost of no longer supporting 32-bit OSes.
