First of all, sorry for posting a message I posted in 2 other forums (ascension forum at Pocket Plane and oversight forum at G3). But I now realize that the problem I have is not related to a specific mod since it happens whether I have Ascension or Oversight installed.
In short, the "Lunar Stance" ability (shared by the improved monk mod in Oversight and by Balthazar in Ascension) make the game freeze and crash to desktop.
On my last game, I had Ascension installed along few other mods (tweakpacks, fixpacks, ub, dbg scs2 and widescreen) and at the final battle, Balthazar would make the game freeze then crash : his solar stance was bugged I think. I even played from an older save where I convinced him to kill himself at his temple so I could finish the game. Unfortunately, with ascension installed, Balthazar was still preseent in the final battle, revived by melissan. As expected, the game crashed again when he launched his lunar stance, this time.
So, I cursed Ascension and decided to completely reinstall the game without Ascension and staredt a new character, a Monk. I installed the same tweaks/fix mods + oversight with only the new monk HLAs.
Wary of the bug, I started a new game with my monk and gave him 5 million exp points through the console to test his HLAs. Solar stance worked, the fireball animation was displayed and imoen felt the effects... Unfortunately, when I tried to do a Lunar Stance, same bug! The game just froze completely, I had to Alt-Tab to get out of there.
- I did put 'logging on=1' in baldur.ini but my baldur.err file is empty.
- I tried to uninstall the widecreen mod but the problem persists. I tried to deactivate 3d animations and 3d acceleraiton in the options but it did nothing. It's probably a bug with the Lunar Stance animation, maybe due to a conflict with another mod? My instalation is not crazy though.
- I have win7 + amd athlonf FX + geforce 8600 gts + 2GB of ram.
Here's my Weidu.log (should I attach it instead?):
