Lately the game crashes for me once every 15 minutes or so. I started after I had altered my charachter with Shadow Keeper(moving 3 points in intelligence to charisma). The version of it was pretty old(Version 1.7.0) so I'm guessing that it was some kind of bug that caused this, but i don't know for certain.
What can I try to do? Suggestions?

...I'm really desperate... :(

I used shadow keeper last year to get those pants from Baldur's gate I and a vecna robe and after that my game was crashing too... Keep it mind that this program may cause trouble in your game; so play without it if u want none just like I do now.

so, only option is to start over from scratch... *sigh* I better get used to these crashes then, I have ivested far to many hours now.
Perhaps I should try to reinstall Baldurs Gate, keeping the save files of course. However that will probably don't do ****, since it probably is the save files that are corrupted.

Yea but you can always try!! Of course if your game crash very often again, the only solution (I think) is to reinstall and stop usin sl... Hope that help a lil :(

Try going back to a saved game before you used SK. After all, if it started crashing soon after the alterations, I'm sure you kept a pre-SK save around just in case. That would only make sense.

Fable: I didn't. I had a backup at first, but after I had played for 10 minutes or so and nothing happend I deleted ut. I was just so damn happy over the change I had made so I wanted that old charachter with the "not so realistic" 18 intelligence gone asap. :P
I'm much to inlove with this new guy, 18/18/16/15/10/18, half elf, blade, neutral evil, a portrait of Elric(an evil elf from a fantasy book series) what's not to love? ;)
(to get max spells per level, 15 intelligence works pretty good with +4 potion of genius).
So everyone hold your thumbs please, I have just downloaded the BGII patch and I'm reinstalling, this better work...
