Where To Buy
Baldur's Gate 2 was released in the early days of CDs keys but, fortunately, did not use them. As such, one may purchase the disks used to install the game with no problems. There are, however, other options.
- Good Old Games offers a digital copy of Baldur's Gate 2 Complete which includes the base game and the Throne of Bhaal expansion pack.
- Amazon offers new copies of both Baldur's Gate 2: SoA and Baldur's Gate 2: The Collection, the latter includes the expansion pack.
- Additionally, the game has been bundled with other Dungeons and Dragons games from Black Isle Studios and can be found in many compilations.
Good Old Games Installation Guide
The digital copy sold by GOG can be installed with any current operating system. Windows 7 is supported by the .exe file from GOG but it is possible to install to a Unix-like operating system using Wine. This will be the focus of this guide.
Windows
For Windows XP and beyond, installation should be as simple as running the .exe file downloaded from GOG. If you plan to install Baldur's Gate 1 and use the BG1Tutu mod you should have no problems doing so.
Linux and Wine
Requirements
- setup_baldurs_gate_2.exe file from GOG.com
- Wine 1.3
Installation
- Run from terminal: wine ~/Downloads/setup_baldurs_gate_2.exe
- Follow on screen prompt
The path can be customized during installation but the default will be: ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/GOG.com/Baldurs Gate II
Running
To play the game use the shortcut created in the application menu under Wine. Running in terminal can give the error "err:ole:CoInitializeEx Attempt to change threading model of this apartment from multi-threaded to apartment threaded"
