There should be no need to start a new game; save games from v1.03 will not be invalidated with this update, but some of the changes may not be observed unless a new game is started. The major feature of this version is the new Castilian/Spanish translation. A number of consistency changes and bug fixes are present, as well as some extra compatibility with some BG2 Fixpack changes. Make sure you check PostInstall.htm for some new issues that have arisen and have no fix so far. Also, a number of items still need translations (see below).
Check here regularly for updates for known bugs and issues to be resolved. Please DO NOT post bugs in this topic, else they will be moved or deleted.

- Fixed a bug where the game would not increment to the final chapter during Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast due to crossing a trigger point too quickly when escaping from the hostile Candlekeep exterior area
- Fixed a bug where the protagonist's biography is the Shadows of Amn version, a 'fourth-wall breaker' during Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast (this is at the expense of the ability to revert a custom biography to the original version)
