Patch 2.3 download and installation support

[klifsnider]

We are currently experiencing some issues with the download for 2.3 on moddb. There is a problem with the mirrors on moddb's side. We have contacted them about this and are awaiting further support.


For now, there are 2 ways to work around this problem:

1) Create a moddb account and log in. You will now be able to download the patch.

2) For those who don't want to create an account, you can temporarily download the file here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/lobp7 ... to_2.3.zip


Feel free to ask any questions regarding downloading and installing this patch in this thread.

I am soo frustrated right now. Ive installed the patch and put bg2 into steamapps/sourcemods and it still doesn't work. I launch the game it goes to half life 2 preview weird and when i get to bg2 loading screen my keyboard config menu is for hl2 not bg2 and i cant see any servers and ive tried to create game and all i see is pink squares and error blocks around i cant choose class or team. It doesnt work period... Ive reinstalled bg2 2.2 and even downloaded the patch once again still no luck. Please help me get into the battlefield mates

Sgt Steel, can you verify if you have Source Sdk Base 2007 installed? It's in your steam library under 'Tools'.

Yes sdk2007 is downloaded from when i had version 2.2. I've reinstalled it and it works tine but everyone is on an update version so all i can do i create game and play myself in 2.2. So i downloaded the patch installed it and replace the old bg2 in folder and made sure sdk2007 was installed still no good

And you restarted steam after downloading and merging the patch with your old bg2 folder?
