I was just going for a full BWS run again now when it is back, and I was (for the like 5th time) about to instal the proper patch for Tales of the sword coast...
I had forgotten which patch it was so I looked here: http://www.shsforums...newbies-and-up/ which says to go here for it: http://www.fileplane...section/Patches
Makes sense. I did that. I installed the only patch from there and noticed it's installer was more modern that I was used to. Didn't think much of it, but afterwards I noticed it's version number was actually not 5512 (as recommended by BWP) but instead it was version 5521... i checked with the Patches Scrolls and it also lists 5521 as the only downloadable patch for TotSC.
Finally I checked jarnos FAQ for the megamods threads and it lists this for the retrieval of the patches: http://web.archive.o...upport/patches/ and this HAS the 5512 version... and it seems to be the only place that does...
The whole thing is kind of confusing, and maybe the proper patches for Megamodding should be mirrored here or something?
Also, what IS the proper patches for Megamodding? I installed 5521 for TotSC so do I now need to reinstall it with 5512 or..?
Confusion about official patches for BG 1... 5512 or 5521?

Shame I can not edit as guest...
I found this: http://www.shsforums...pic/54292-5521/
So i'm going to reinstall, and not apply it. And use 5512 instead.
One have to wonder however how such severe misinformation is allowed to exist in the thread here: http://www.shsforums...newbies-and-up/
I hope not too many reads it.

It really does not matter if you install the 5521 patch (AKA the DirectX8 EXE patch) or not. Enkida reported an issue with installing Finch NPC with patch 5521 installed for BG, but I was unable to replicate the issue.
EDIT: Oh, since I'm the current editor of ShadowTek's guide, I can try clearing up the misinfo for you - it's in a incomplete state because I forget about editing it.

At this point, I'm not really doing much Baldur's Gate related. More focused on Skyrim modding and the Born of Legend tabletop roleplaying game. Don't expect much activity here.
