I played BG2 on my oldie and it still has a very special place in my mind, being the king of RPGs as we know them. I recently decided I should play it some more, maybe try some of the melee classes.
Well, I couldn't.
I installed both games(SoA and ToB), installed the Gibberlings 3 fix pack, then installed a wide screen mod. Nothing changed.
When I start the game, my menus are weird, and I can see no text.
Solution found, posting here to help other people with same trouble:
If you get text blurred like that, the problem is in your DPI settings, that may come with a high quality mouse driver, or a similar thing. Well the solution, at least on windows 7 is in compatibility mode. I toggled it around until I found the right option. Right click - Properties - Compatibility - Settings - Check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings", problem solved.
