Almost every talk in the game can happen twice or more.

Example everytime I talk to Paraway he says the introduction talk.
Same with Meepo.

Also in the Castle, where you find the follower of Shar, he continoue to say the same stuff all the time, after I used CTRL + Y to kill him, an event spawned which repeated over and over again. I don't mind experience farming, but abit booring to non-stop kill them off.

Same with Shadow, the event where the guys come to kill her, happend three or four times to me. Some people in Saltmarsh thanks me for killing the genies and taken care of the animal attacks. Most think it is good that I cooperate with the mayor. Both of them are wrong since the mayor has been taken away by the captain etc.

And the list goes on, 95%+ of the cases these bugs occur.

Is it supposed to be this buggy so far or did my install do something wrong? (I got Version 0.45)

Definitely your install.

I have no idea how you managed to create this type of problem! All I can recommend is that you do a full reinstall. Remember you have to have SoA with ToB and the last patch from BioWare. Do not install any other mods! If that works, then you can try some of the other mods which will work with CA.

I've reinstalled twice now, and from what I've seen. It is totally random whetever it happens or not.

I've reinstalled BGII once to try it. Can there be any problems with having 2x BGs installed. I've one which I experiment and do modding on, one I play one. They are on different drivers, both physical and logical different.

And beside that, I never play with mods. Don't know why, guess I am too lazy to install them.

Sidenote: You might wanna update your Wiki site here on shs, or isn't meant to not show all the NPCs? Well I just got impressed when I saw it was more than that site showed.

Keep up the good work, and I will try fix stuff at my side again.

Actually, you can't have two BGII:SoA+ToB 'installs'... unless you have two different versions of the game, as the windows register should prevents this. Of course you can copy the files from one dir to another, but that's not technically an 'install'. So now at least I wonder what's up;
A) Is it different versions, and so you might need to uninstall the mod so you can install the patch, you remember that didn't you.
B) Or is it a copy, and if so, have you updated the baldur.ini to have the correct paths to here:

[Alias]
HD0:=C:\Total Convertions\BGII\
CD1:=C:\Total Convertions\BGII\CD1\

Or somesuch. As the first two paths are very important as the game reads the override folder set on here etc.

[Emzeror]

You can if you have two logical registers.
A. I've the newest version of both installs.
B: It ain't a copy, checked the path to be sure but it is right.

The thing is everything in SoA / ToB works, Saerileth mod etc, just with CA. Probably me having some Anti-CA virus, I bet I got. I had a Diablo 2 virus before that said "Muahahahha you never gonna kill Diablo" everytime I quitted the game

For multiple installs, I just have several BGII directories with slightly different names. When I want to run one of them, I just rename the directory to BGII - SoA. The Windows registry will only accept one game folder for you to use. It can't handle several. Even the BALDUR.INI file points to only one folder for all of your data files. So if you are trying to force multiple "active" games, that could be your problem. Also, over in the BGT-BP forum several players had found that you really need to keep all game files on one drive. Don't have the SoA folder on C: and the \DATA folder on D:, that causes problems as well.

You can if you have two logical registers.

That meens that you either have two reg files, or two Operation Systems(OS), so you did remember to use them both, one at a time as you patched the games, and the right version for the right OS? Right? Although CA isn't officially supported in Vista, Linux, OS-IX or OS-X. Though, if anyone uses them and notices bugs, I am confident that the team at least tries to help.

Don't have the SoA folder on C: and the \DATA folder on D:, that causes problems as well.

That's cause the baldur.ini doesn't have a function to input the \DATA folder. As it's presambly hardcoded into the HD0 .

But what you can do, is to have different drives for CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, and then edit the baldur.ini accordingly. And if you have multiple installs you can have the HD0: CD1: pointed to one place and all the rest to another. That is to save space, once you have started the game once and autosaved, as it creates the baldur.ini and some other files that are needed. This is how I always copy/paste/edit to have a multiple installs. And then I also have plenty backup files...
