Hey, so far my BWP installed worked fine (as in i was able to fix my issues with the console and DLTCEP), but the constant freezing is starting to get on my nerves. The freezes seem mostly random, and usually only happen once (2 notable exceptions were the battle with Sarevok, and now the theater under the Five Flagon). I can usually identify when a freeze up is coming, coz shorty before it all sounds get disabled. The problem is, that after the game has frozen i'm unable to terminate the process from the task manager and have to manually reboot the computer.

Do you have any idea whether it's hardware related or some conflicting mods? I think my computer should be handle it OK, i'm on XP with and ATI X1650 and neither CPU usage or memory seem to be an issue when i play based on the task manager. Are there options that must/must not be check in BGConfig?

If not, i'd be thankful for some ideas to be able to at least shut the game down if a freeze occurs. (i suppose running the game in a virtual machine might help?).

Could you enable the logging file? (see jarno's mega mod help - FAQ)?
Does it always happen when you fight, or when you're just walking as well?

Do you want to know about the contents of baldur.err (it contains no information at all other than lots of empty blocks of Start Logging Sessions), or the change-log (6. from the FAQ)? The freezes seem random (fight, dialog, camera panning, entering new area...), although i can definitely make them more frequent with buffing the hell out of my party. I'll try some of slowdown tips from the FAQ and see if helps, but i don't know when i'll have time to do so.

This almost certainly isn't a mod thing if you can't reproduce it (like entering a *certain* area or something). Do you have antivirus or other memory-resident software running? If so, disconnect from the internet, disable everything you can and see if that helps.

That seems to have fixed it, i had no problems for several hours anyway. Thanks!
