So, I've been annoyed lately.....some time after installing Baldurdash(about 3 days afterwards), my game started crashing to desktop without any error messages(except the Windows error reporting tool). Before installing it it was just fine. I'm positive that it's not an issue with my rig, it worked perfectly earlier. The game does NOT crash if I pause the game, no matter how long I wait. However, it can crash even in dialoque mode without me having to press anything. Sometimes the crash happens after a few seconds after loading, sometimes I can play over 10 minutes, but it always happens in the end. I can't recall anything odd happening in the game. Starting a new game doesn't help either, it even crashed while I was still building my character. I'm probably going to reinstall, but should I install Baldurdash? Is it possible that it's causing it? Anyone else experienced anything similiar?

Edit: I've been thinking that maybe it's an issue with the game. Maybe some kind of interaction or dialoque should happen, but it's messed up and crashes the whole game...The last events in the game:

Which Baldurdash are you using? Also, what other mods do you have installed on your system? What order did you install them in?

It appears from your post that Baldurdash is conflicting with something within the game. The recommended order of installation is SoA->ToB->ToB Patch->Baldurdash ToB Fixpack->other mods, so Baldurdash ends up on top of a vanilla game, hence shouldn't cause any issues (at least in my experience it has been very stable).

I have the Throne of Bhaal fixpack V1.12. I installed BG:soa first, then updated immediately to Tob and then updated ToB with the autoupdate to the latest version. The fixpack was installed afterwards. I have Shadow Keeper on my PC too, which was installed BEFORE Baldrudash. I used it to get the flail of the ages which I forgot, and gave my PC's the according exp for the flail guest. Nothing more done with it.

The crashes begun some time after the installation of Baldurdash, so I'm not entirely sure if this has anything to do with it in the first place. However, I can't think of any other reason, the game has always worked fine on the same settings without the fixpack.

Hmm... Sounds like a tough case. The only thing I can think of is the fact you installed Baldurdash after having played for a while and modified things with SK. I would reinstall SoA -> ToB, manually install the latest ToB patch and immediately install Baldurdash. Start a new game and hope it doesn't crash. Try it out and if it does then you can pinpoint the problem to Baldurdash and get rid of it.

Good luck,
