This is probably a creature issue, but it's going to be tough to figure out which one. You may have to CLUA in the CREs one by one to see which has the issue, since it's somewhat similar to this problem. You can start by looking at your ar0300.are and ar0300.bcs files from your override, or attach them here.

I see you have some of the Aurora components but not Realistic Random Treasures. Did you try that for the other CTDs you were getting?

It worked for my previous install, but when I had to completely re-do everything that component kept on giving me errors. If I still get the problems this time around then I'll see if I can put it in at a later date.

I'll attach the AR0300 files here since I have no idea what to look for in them

It looks like every mod and its brother adds or changes creatures in this area, so it'd be a huge pain to CLUA Console in each creature to see if it's the problem. I think it is probably a creature that has a two-handed weapon and something also in its shield slot. There are quite a few of these actually, even in an unmodded game. I'm working on a patch that should fix all those types of issues... works fine on unmodded BG2 and Tutu but I'll have to tweak it a bit more for BGT/BWP.

Try installing this - extract it to your game folder and run the setup-crefixer.exe like any other mod. This should fix a lot of creature slot issues, though I'm not sure if fixes this exact problem because I don't get the same issue on my game. If not, we will have to go back to Plan A and manually check all the CREs unless I can think of some other way of automating a fix. Either way, post the cre_log.txt file that should end up in your crefixer/backup folder after installing it. This will list the problems found and fixes made, and we can compare with your area files to see if any creatures were fixed in them.

Edit: crefixer_v1.rar removed after 12 downloads - v2 updated here.

Here is my cre_log. I seem to be getting along fine in the docks area now, although I'm not sure if any of the altered cre files are actually in the docks.

I'll let you know if I run into any similar problems later on.

Thanks for your help!

I have tweaked this slightly after analysing various log files from testing and uploaded a new version here. For further discussion the Creature Fixer, use this thread.
