    Strange that no one's answered this. I haven't installed the fix myself, but I've seen a post here that says it works.

    I tried the II fix with with two copies of a sorcerer character i created. Exact same stats. Exept that on one of them, I applied the improved initiative fix. In all my three tests, he seemed to be a bit faster at starting his spells than the other one.

    Hope this helps.

    ...tested it - and doesn't work for me

    v.1.02 GER, with some weimar moduls installed:

    2 sorcs identically build one with II the one without


    1. pause game - let both cast summon monster I - casting time 6 - 50/50 chance who will casts first - delta less then a second


    2. let the sorc with II drink the II_fix potion - pause game - let both cast summon monster I - same 50/50 chance who will casts first then before - delta also less then a second


    so I don't think II works - no matter if the fix is installed or not!

    Well I am pretty sure that Improved initiative works without any patch/fix, at least for spells in english version (I don't know for weapons). I created 2 sorcerers and then cast Magic missile repeatedly with each one of them and the one with Initiative pulled the trick faster, much like a sequencer, while the other one certainly had a little bit of extra handweaving.

    Or maybe a bug only appers on Clerics/Druids (I haven't tested that)? I am at a loss in this discussion.

    It DOES work. Try drinking like, ten potions and then casting two spells: one after the other. Can you see the change? It lowers the time needed to rest after casting spell :) By the way, hi everyone (i'm new to this forums)

    Sorry, but you're wrong if you say that Improve Initiative works without any fix. The Improved Initiative feat doesn't work and won't work. There was never intended to be a patch for IWD2 when BIS (the branch of Interplay responsible for IWD2) still existed. Right now, the only hope is a fan-made fix.

    [​IMG] chevalier, this topic is discussing the unofficial II fix linked on SP.
