Hey folks, has anyone ever created a fix or mod to increase resolution for BG yet for HD, or if close what is the max resolution it can be played at?

Well, with the Widescreen mod, you can play the BG1+BGTotSC+the patch and the consequential sequels and conversions(BGT-WeiDU or BG1Tutu/EasyTutu) with any resolution... but the User Interface is problem in the BG1... There is also a UI enlarger for BG1, it's å Polish making, so I haven't really tried it.

Edit: after 1 second of Googling, you'll find this... which leads you to the Polish mod.
Edit2: of course the lead link might be off line just now. :(
Edit3: This link is a direct download link to the somewhat most recent version... copied from here...

Since the widescreen mod works perfectly with BG2. I'd say the best way to play BG in high resolutions is to use BGTrilogy or tutu to port BG1 to the BG2 engine and use the widescreen mod. BG1 will then use BG2's interface.

... but, but what about the original feel, the content, the no_Kits, :lol: , yes, but, as one can make the original game to have Widescreen view with the Widescreen mod and the BG1andWidescreenGUI(link above)... besides, nobody has converted The Fields of the Dead to BGT or to (BG-)Tutu. Yes, BG-Tutu, as there are IwDTutu, IwD2Tutu...
