I've gone through all of BG1 in BGT with very little problem, until now. Whenever I talk to a merchant who offers resting (so, inn bartenders, basically) the game freezes after I say "yes" to viewing their stuff. This happens with all bartenders who offer rest, but I can still trade with other merchants (store proprieter). I just deleted my 50+ savegames 20 minutes before this started happening, and am stuck with this near-end savefile.

Is there something I can delete in the Baldur.SAV file using NI to fix this? Does anyone have any idea? It's really, really annoying.

Could you please post the textual contents of your WeiDU.log file?
Were you able to purchase a room before the freezing started happening? What about simply resting out in the open? It may be that a timed event occurs when you rest and the game freezes because it is bugged somehow (missing resources?)

It's when I talk to the Merchant. For example, at the Elfsong, he says "Don't bug the other patrons yadada, do you want to see my wares?" and then you get the Y/N option. If I click Yes, it freezes and crashes before I see his storefront. So it crashes before I see the storefront screen with the rooms on it. I can sleep out in the open, and trade with merchants that don't also run an inn.

Hmm, so this happens any time you want to go into the store?
Perhaps there is an issue with the widescreen mod. Does using a normal resolution, or uninstalling the mod, fix it?

It still happens without the widescreen mod. If I start a new save and get to an inn, it allows me to proceed as normal. It's only like that in my specific savegames.

OK, I might need to take a look at one of you saved games.
Could you zip up one of your saves and upload it either here (you would need to register) or to some free file sharing site?

Thank you so much! Here is a saved game. I tried using ShadowKeeper to change my character around, as well as decompiling/recompiling my save in NI to see if that would fix anything small. But that's not the case.

Thanks so much again!

Ah, it is a known bug with your version of BGT. There have been a few updates since then (same version, different date).
The problem fixed was:
Fixed typos that caused Shop of Silence, a Tavern, and Temple of Helm stores to crash the game (091019)

You could upgrade, but alternatively just unzip the following archive into your override folder. Should fix it up.
