A few hours in, and the stutter's back. How would removing NeJ from the install have any beneficial influence on the playability? I'm only in the BG1 part, after all.

Furthermore, I've had several "Assertion Failed: error in line 250"-CTD's (cleaning up cache, temp and tempsave doesn't provide a definitve fix) and above that, AR8700 leads to a full system crash (Tazok's camp).
Maybe being captain obvious here, but it appears to me that the stutter increases as the game progresses. Storing items and removing npc's seems to remedy it, but thus playing the game becomes like eating a pizza without any topping *sad panda*

@Lol: I purposefully didn't modify the .bat according to your suggestions a few topics earlier (eg change component number "1" to "40") because I thought that only applied to a scenario in which all of the components got a new number thanks to the SCS update - which I didn't get. Wow, that's one long sentence. You don't suppose that would have anything to do with my problems?

Really hope to be able to get this going. Got operated on past Thursday, got a long rehabilitation period ahead of me, and above that I'm supposed to be in Spain right now for a semester of uni instead of being abandoned during daytime by the missus (who has full use of her legs and can go about her normal life). So getting this to work would be sweet /nagrant

ALLRIGHT!!! Finally done!!!

And the only errors I got were those warnings neutrowave reported. Well, I had a bit of a tangle with Aurora (thought the main component was #1 actually, its #0 ) but that was easily fixed by a simple pause and running Setup-aurora.exe.

Biffing took longer than expected though But it should be worth it (if any stray CtDs happen anyway, I'll just wait for BWP8.1 )

Currently defragging me drive (got pretty messy ) Being an expert install, the WeiDU.log and BiG World Debug.txt are HUGE!!! Hope I have sommin to get to before 8.1

(but somewhat scared of all these new CtD reports though ... after the defrag, let's hope for the best )

But looking at the WeiDU.log, I'm kinda relieved after my last ... BWP experience

@Milandir: If ya didn't get the new versions, the change ain't necessary

(I can't seem to properly upload the two files right now Actually ALL uploads seem veeeeeerrry slow right now, will try again later)

Cheers,

Yeah I admit I just took a quick look the first time. Now I see what you meant , thanks.

@Lollorian: Congratulations

Game crashed when Venkt started casting it seems, old topic concerning that didn't provide any answers. Reinstalled it twice since the day before yesterday, the game crashes up the wazoo, at random moments.

Edit: Now, I can't even hit the rest button or bgmain.exe dies.

Help? No stutter though...

Did another reinstall, without spell revisions (ctd's seemed to take place when an npc was casting).

Game still freezes when trying to rest outside.

Edit: And add to that a ctd when trying to rest in an inn. Reinstall it is then? Which components should be left out, which should be put back in?

Quick Question, are you using old saves or starting a fresh game?

Do you want a guess? You might try dumping all items before resting. The only big mod that I haven't used is Item_Rev.

Each time starting a fresh game (don't know why, but every time I spend about fifteen minutes in the stat screen; could just edit it with NI later on... guess I'm a bit of a purist).

Almost at the generalized biffing of my latest attempt at a crash-free install, will try dumping all items before resting as soon as I can.

Thanks for the suggestion in any case

Right... Same thing, although I can use resting in inns and outside at first. Don't know what the trigger is for it malfunctioning from a given point.

Also, and I don't assume this was the case in my previous installs, turning dead causes major stutter.

Dropping my inventory was of no avail.

Edit: Thanks Lol, my bad

Edit 2: Perhaps worth mentioning that the debug included is of yet another new install; conclusion: no more crash on sleep, random crashes are back (and so far one assertion failed at line 250).
I defragged my harddisk earlier this week, just so you know.

Edit 3: I'm going for another install. Minimum plus the quest mods. If that's stable, I'll reinstall again, adding one component a time.

Yo Milandir, instead of your WeiDU.log, it'd be a tad better if you could attach your BiG World Debug.txt (zipped, rarred or 7zipped) so that we may know if something failed to install ...

Cheers,
Lol

[Milandir]

Good news everyone!



My most basic install yet has been quite successful indeed! Played through Candlekeep without one crash or assertion error, even CLUA'd to Venkt (see above), game doesn't crash there any more either.

So! Do I have to roll back to the backup and then go through the entire .bat process again for adding separate components? I would assume so, correct?

[Lollorian]

So, you CLUA'd to Venkt and he looked like THAT?!?!?

Congrats, but I see that you haven't actually used the Standard version of the BWP. For the most "basic" and "known-to-not-be-buggy" version, you could always try the "recommended" version instead of the Tactics or Expert versions

It looks like you used an Expert install ALL THE WHILE!!! Now pray tell us what you expected from a debugging version of the BWP Most of expert mods haven't been tested thoroughly yet and need ironing out to remove any bugs

PS:I'm also doing an expert install until BWP8.1 btw But seeing that you have far more serious bugs, I reckon something actually phailed to install for you

Cheers,
Lol

[Milandir]

Yeah, imagine my surprise! I suppose the computer was thinking the same thing and tended to immediately shut down upon Venkt's sight.

Well yeah, an expert install as in I simply chose that in order to modify my components (as was my understanding). You'll see that in that last install, for example, NeJ is the only expert component

I assume that:
- spell revisions is to blame for Venkt (skipping)
- item revisions is to blame for my general game crashes (going to edit the .bat to include only component "3" - penalty to casting speed for arcane caster wearing armour)

Will keep y'all posted, and thanks again for the help!

Hi, first thx to you an all modders for your work!

I tried to install the BiG World Projekt with the BWSetup and failed to download some mods:...

This is caused by the mods being updated to new versions... you can eitheer skip those mods, or wait until the BWS is updated to v8.1. Or perhaps make a half manual install by skipping the mod in BWS with the 'Further Installation option...' and edit the needed mods needed components.

[dabus]

These files have been updated, so the filesize does not match with the old one that the BWS knows.
If you have renamed them, go on and choose not to remove the mods from your selection.
The alternative would be to edit BiG World Setup\Config\setup.ini, section [Options]. Set Start=1. Under [Order], set Au3NetTest=4.

And as the imp stated, the components may have changed or something -- I have not been up to date with this.

[Miloch]

Exnem Vault should not be installed after BG1UB. Indeed, it should probably be installed before both CtB and BGT. The reason for this is that it overwrites the rndtreas.2da (random treasure) table, whereas those other mods patch to it dynamically.

Edit:

I assume that:
- spell revisions is to blame for Venkt (skipping)
- item revisions is to blame for my general game crashes...

Yes, you can blame these two evil overwriting mods for just about everything bad that happens in your game (rofl - sorry Mike/Demi, couldn't resist ).

I doubt that

- CLUAed over to AR8701, Ctrl-Yed all others except Venkt, turned off AI and let him finish all his spells ... no crash
- Haven't got that far yet in my game but the only crashes I got were from a certain mod that adds a goblin cave

Whatever bugs SR had, seem to have been fixed in SRv3!!!

EDIT: Speaking of which, could crashes be caused by a low-spec system??

Well, to '*pronoun* can blame ....' is to say that one has the ability blame, not to posses the knowledge/intelligence to dismiss the guilt from them.


While looking at the WeiDU.log, we can see that the BiG World Project doesn't use the v2.9 IR or the quick fixes for v2, which already was ahead and repaired most of the CTD... they can still be used to fix the problems by putting the fix to the override folder ... saying this cause it's old problem.
