How do you change the resolution after the high-res pack is installed? Is it command line based? I can't seem to find it mentioned in the readme.

you know when you install it, that little DOS-looking command box comes up? During that part it says 'width', where you type in the width of the resolution you want, then after you press enter it says 'length', and you type in the length. By default it says 800 for width and 600 for length. So for 1920x1200 resolution, type in 1920 when it asks for width and 1200 when it asks for length.

Woops!
I guess I didn't even install the patch. When I got to that point I hit quit because I thought it had finished installing. Thanks for the help!
Sweet, thank you so much for the information. The standard resolution was killing my eyes!!
Thanks for all the information and links. This would make a great Sticky.
When I am installing the patch it says error opening file for writing...........
Should I reinstall the game and put it in a different folder?
( Windows 7 and Arcanum is in GoG folder)

Make sure you right-click the patch and select "Run as an Administrator" from the dialog.
Ok, thanks!

Once the Hi Res Pack is installed - To Change to a different resolution - Go to the game directory and run HighRes.bat and change the settings.
Thanks for this!
Once I installed all patches/addons the game would not start. I have had to uninstall the game, and yet to reinstall and try again.
Any idea what went wrong?

Same thing happened to me. I eventually had to use system restore to get it working. Look for my "CTD after installing mods" thread for some great tips people have given.
Edit - I'm running XP on an old laptop. What OS are you running?

XP Pro on a deaktop, 4 gigs, nvidia 9800
Can anyone out there confirm if it's a problem with XP? I reinstalled the game and got it working (after doing a system restore), but when I installed the mods it stopped working again.
I've had problems with Baldur's Gate mods as well as Planescape ones too. I wonder what's going on with my computer.
Two questions :
Does it break saved games ? My GF started a new game and will not restart over.
Does anyone has the patch note with the added content / fixes ? Cannot find it.
Thank you very much
