Additional Comments

- Best setting was switching Direct3D/DirectDrawRenderer to opengl, there was some graphical glitches with default gdi. - There was small issue with "NPC appears to be busy" bug, but it can be easily fixed by official ToB patch (no longer available on bioware site). http://files.sigil.cz/patches/BGII-ToB%2026498%20English.exe

HowTo / Notes

Multiplayer via Directplay
Mentioned in a comment by zsolty_szasz:

Multiplayer can work, but requires some setup first.

The problem is with the current DirectPlay implementation. Read here how to set it up: http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectPlayGames

To get multiplayer working for games that use a DirectPlay version prior to 8, place the following DLLs:
dplayx.dll, dpnet.dll, dpnhpast.dll and dpwsockx.dll in this archive in WINE's windows/system32 directory, then add DLL overrides (native,builtin) with WINECFG.

HOWTO
In case of any problems be sure to see the instructions on http://wiki.winehq.org/Infinity_Engine_Games
