Why is it crashing

Post by mrjimsch »

Recently started playing BG again, I am on Coran's quest and have done this before with a different group of characters (no coran last time) and not had a problem. This time as soon as I kill the first wyvern the game crashes! I have done it twenty times. The screen blanks right after I recieve the expierence and I am back to my desktop. Help!

Do you have the older BG set (not original saga), and if so, do you have the patch installed?
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

I believe I have the original, it is very old (1998 copyright) How do I install the patch? I think I tried to do this before but was unsure if it loaded right. Please type slowly and use small words I am not as computer savy as I would like to be.

You can download the official patch at Game Banshee: http://www.gamebanshee.com/baldursgate/downloads.php
Then go to Baldurdash to get a lot of other bugs fixed: http://www.baldurdash.org/BG1/bg1fixes.html
As far as I know the official patch and the Baldurdash patches are all selfextracting. Even I could get 'em installed. Just download and follow the instructions. If there's any trouble though, let us know. :)
