    Why wont all of them show? They are the same file size & dimensions? I just get a blank/no picture where the custom one should be. There are quite a few like that :(

    Are yo playing the GoG version? And the new update 2.1?
    If yes, and if you had mods installed, the update is gonna break them.

    I own the EEdition on steam, therefore all my saves are in the cloud.

    Show where? On your characters or inside the portrait selection window?

    As for saves, they might not be compatible with the new version. Or are they completely gone? Have you checked the save folder?

    I had this same problem, and the fix was easy in my case.
    It seems like the filenames for the portraits now can no longer have any capitalized letters other then the size denotation.

    the portrait that worked fine before for me but not in 2.0 was called "ElfL.bmp" and while the large portraid on the character screen worked, the miniature portrait in the sidebar did not.

    after renaming the image to simply "elfL.bmp" (without the capitalized E at the beginning) the sidebar portrait loads just fine.

    i ran into the save problem as well, but it was a while ago so i don't really remember what i did to fix that.

    I'm playing the EE on Steam (v2.1.63.2), but it saves my games on my computer?
    I'm talking about on character creation for the pics not showing. It seems to be working so far as for the upper/lowercase letters. One thing odd though is that some of the ones that DO have uppercase letters are showing anyway.
    As for the saved games, they are gone. Not just there but incompatible. Just *poof* gone. Yes I've checked the saved games folder.
