This is what my Bg looks like, the black boxes are around words and such as well, like when irenicus talks. I downloaded to utility and widescreen mod, and I checked my Bg2 settings
Hello everyone!
Knight consider yourself relatively lucky! just take a look on this:
http://screencast.com/t/JvkDbvZfLTDid you tried the all the fix-ups? The "Bigg Weidued Eddy fix up"Here is a list of my procedures. Nothing helped me, but perhaps it can help you:
"
Strange graphic issue + Lock up/Freeze (got to reset) Got the Big World 6.0 with only standard mods. This strange graphic issue doesn't seem to occur with original game, but with
BGT.
Usually I can handle myself with problems like that, but this time i'm clueless.
It's really annoying. Specially because I was planing to convert an oooold mod of my own to
BWP (still weiduing it, by the way, so nothing related to the issue). It can run for about 25min, 1hour, 10min… it`s random.
The game suddenly goes blurry like THIS: http://screencast.com/t/JvkDbvZfLTAfter this strange graphic effect,
it goes running for about 20 or 30 seconds and then it freezes.
Trying to save the game is useless (if possible...) because it’ll not load (file is corrupted).
There is no AntiVirus or background running. This PC was intended to be devoted to
BG.
So, I Initialy suspected it could be happening due to:
1.The
size of the override folder. But I did a clean install, biffed and it’s now around 200mb, which (I think) is not much. It didn't help anyway.
2. Something related to corrupted savegames. But it's not. By the way
Beregost crashfixer utility is great, although it can't help here
3.
Direct X thing. Did a downgrade, and then an upgrade. It was useless. Reinstal graphic card drivers. Also useless.
4.Config files: Tried to disable the
vertex padding. Tried another
resolution, even tried without graphic 3
D acceleration…. Didn’t work.
It's happening in both
windowed and fullscreen modes.
5.I
reduced the number of mods (all of them are for standard class for Big Project, so it’s supposed to be ok). Another thing, I didn’t went crazy installing every single mod, but only about half of the standard mods suggested for
BGT instructions (strictly followed). Did'n work too....
Finally I formatted the system, fresh windows
XP, and did a
clean install again.
Game apparently was free of this problem for about... half a day.
The monitor is widescreen, but didn`t put a
widescreen mod on. Resolution used ingame: 1024 / 32bit, but it seems worthless to change that, since it also happens in 800.
The card on that machine (and I would like to kept that one dedicated to
BGT… ) is
NVidia 6200 GeForce Turbocrap. I`m upgrading the drivers right now… but somewhat I suspect it will not work…
Also tested other 3D applications (far heavier than the old BGII…) and they work fine (so, I think it`s not the card).
I tried to create a profile for
ToB and BGmain on the NVidia panel, disabling VSync, and a few other things. Good for nothig....
At last, I've tried
Rivatuner, but it could'nt help.
But as I recall, I've played
IE games on that very same machine without problems before (was BGII
SoA, without
ToB).
Any ideas or am I doomed?
The most sincere thank's in adavance. "
