===Improve load times===

If you performed a full install you can play without the CD in your drive by tricking the game. The copy protection will only check for the presence of a CD drive and the presence of a certain file. Set up a virtual CD drive using a tool of your choice and make sure it has the following file in its file tree:
+
{{Fixbox|description=Increase cache size|fix=
−
* <code>CD2/Data/IWD2CD.2</code>
+
# Execute {{file|config.exe}} in the game directory.
−
Wine users can use Wine's winecfg program to set up a folder as a CD drive. Using cracks is not recommended since they can break compatibility with mods.
+
# Go to tab ''game''.
 +
# Set cache size up to a maximum of 999.
