Key points

Numerous improvements over the original game, including performance optimisation and support for high resolutions.[1]
Cross-platform multiplayer (Windows, OS X and iPad).
Frame rate is capped at 30 FPS; increasing in Baldur.ini makes the game run too fast.[2]
Known issue with some Creative sound cards and OpenAL; resulting in sound loss.
