just returning after a year off..aaannnd

I started a new game in my old, heavily modded BG2ee installation. No issues for a while, then, after recruiting Neera, began to see massive dialog issues.

I've tried reinstalling my base 30+ mods with fresh installations and the dialog mess is even worse...this is with beamdog versions that don't need modmerge.

I vaguely saw something about a new patch update and some new opcodes.

I'm just wondering did the last patch break existing mod installs or move dialog.tlk?
