Patches
Patches are available to fix various issues.
Modifications
Baldur's Gate Tutu
The 'Tutu' mod known as BG1Tutu allows the importing of Baldur's Gate files into the Baldur's Gate II engine. For the Dungeons & Dragons Anthology: The Master Collection version copy BGate2.mpi
from the CD into the installation folder prior to installing Tutu.[3]
Baldur's Gate II Fixpack
The BG2 Fixpack is a WeiDU compilation of fixes for Baldur's Gate II. Several modders began working on a new WeiDU fixpack to address the numerous bugs that have been identified. Fixpack currently includes all of the fixes addressed by Baldurdash (including the Game Text Update) and several hundred new bugfixes. The project is ongoing.
Baldur's Gate Trilogy
The 'Trilogy' mod known as BGT is an alternative to Tutu that also allows the importing of Baldur's Gate files into the Baldur's Gate II engine. In addition, BGT uses a dynamic system to transfer players from the end of Baldur's Gate to the beginning of Baldur's Gate II. For the Dungeons & Dragons Anthology: The Master Collection digital version, simply rename the Baldur's Gate folder to Baldurs Gate without the apostrophe to make it command-line syntax friendly. NOTE: Must have both Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II installed and their correlating expansions (Tales of the Sword Coast and Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal).[4]
