Also if I am understanding it correctly - I basically need to switch to US unicode everytime I play BG2 with IA, to keep it from crashing?

You need to keep English (United States) as the language for non-Unicode programs. If you switch to another language, some of the new animations might still work depending on which non-ASCII symbols they use in their filenames, but others will cause the game to crash.

 

Thank goodness I found this thread. I was about to pull my hair out trying to dig through the 10 year old stickies on the mage forum. If I am to understand correctly, the above linked pre-packed file is updated to be current to date? Question , is it okay with BG2:EE? or only the original?

I've packed the fixes as version 5.1 to address common installation errors like the ones in this thread. I'll update the official download page with this version as well. However, other than the fixes, it's still the old IA v5 for the classic BG2, without EE support.

 

well poop. I guess I wont be installing that then xD
