Critter effect, Splatting or whatever you call it

Hullo!

I just installed BG I again (a dvd-version) and it is as if it is a censored version

The problem is that when I do an overkill (when you do some more dmg than the mob's current hp) it doesn't show the critter effect (the blood, the flying bones, the exploding corpse, call it whatya want

), actually there's a big *nothing*. The corpse just disappears. It's like having a censored version of the game, I could fix this myself by installing from the 5 cd-version that I have, but the problem is that I can't find the frikkin' cd's! #¤%#¤% And it really makes me go crazy!

Anyway, if someone knows how to fix this "bug" or whatever it is I would appreciate it a lot. Personally I think it can be fixed with a simple file that is "missing", but I dunno, maybe someone has an answer to this thingy, coz I haven't :/

Thx in advance

You probably have already tried the Options>Gameplay>Gore -setting?

One question about your settings: Is Options/Game Play/Gore activated?

Edit: Moleman was faster.

Eh... don't have that option :/ (But I gotta check again

)

Checked it, and I don't have it, here's what I got:

Tool Tip Delay
Mouse Scroll Speed
Keyboard Scroll Speed
Difficulty

Dither Always

Group Infravision
Weather

There aren't any more options, and i checked them all

@Phantom Lord: I'm victorious!

@Bordin_steelaxe: That is wierd. I trust you have searched the manual and looked for the other options too? Have to tried www.bioware.com ?

Yep, been there done that... No answers :/ But as I said, it's the version. With the 5 cd-version (It was 5 cd's, right?

) I didn't have the problem, only with the dvd-version. I'm quite sure that it isn't just an option.

The last time I just installed from the 5 cd's and played with the dvd and that did solve the problem.

YARGH... if only I could find those cd's... stupid moving mess

I have the DVD version too. Just that problem would have been just fine by me.

IIRC I didn't have a gore setting neither, but it's been a looooooong time so I don't know for sure.

Pffff! That thing is a very important part to the gameplay imho!

There's not much that is more satisfactory than to really SPLAT a kobold!! muahahahah

... sorry, got caught away in the moment there...

No really, if I have to play without it it would be as if something was missing, I just can't do that, it's a vital part of the game :/

Oh well, I'll write an email to bioware and check back later, I've been online for 2 hours now to find a solutions, but no one knows *sneef*

Thx for the tips tho

I guess they had to remove Gore when Bush was elected

Seriously, have you checked the readme-file?

Try this:

Enable blood and gore (German and other international versions):
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "Baldur.ini" file in the game directory. Add the line "Memory Access=100".

Try reinstalling the whole game just to get into the next area. I could go on and on. Strange thing is, I got the game for free with my comp. I'd expect it to work.

Important thing is, I love BG so it was all worth it

I'm glad moleman was able to help you!
