    Well... So much for IWD2 being bug-free. In the tradition established with Neverwinter Nights, there's already a patch out two days after the release of the game. Here is the official info:

    Version: 2.01 BETA
    File Size: 2.4 MB
    Released: August 30, 2002

    This BETA patch addresses a problem for those who are crashing when selecting 'Appearance' in Character Generation and/or crashing when displaying the Inventory screen.

    The following video cards exhibit the problem most commonly:

    - Hercules 3D Prophet 4500
    - VideoLogic Vivid!XS
    - Video cards that have the Kyro II chipset

    Also fixed is buying stackable items, like throwing daggers, from stores in quantities of more than 1. Previously no matter how many of a particular stackable item you requested to buy, only 1 would show up in your inventory.
    No other issues are addressed in this BETA patch. Please watch for an official 2.01 release in the short future. NOTE: THIS PATCH HAS NOT BEEN THROUGH AN OFFICIAL TESTING CYCLE. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    Go here to download.

    Tal, there is no bug free game. There are games that need thousands of patches and those who need only one or two.
    That patch was made because game tended to crash with powerVR chips (Kyro cards use it too).

    You mean there is no bug free games ANY MORE. There used to be. I know this patch is pretty specific, but there's also the stackable items bug that would need to be fixed, and I'd call that a major issue. Dunno how they managed to screw that up (and not notice), it worked in the beta I played. Oh well...

    Tal, stackable item buy is not the only bug that passed into gold. There are few more.
    But I assure you, the patch for IWD2 is NOT going to be pain in the arse to download for us "suckers" who are still on dial-up. It won't take days to download.
