[Left for posterity in case someone else is looking for similar information. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Aurora; it wouldn't reinstall because.... stores.bif was missing! I went and found another copy of stores.bif and replaced it. FEEXED. Herp derp.]

OK, so...

In the last few days I created a second install in a different folder. Then I tried to go back and play my saved game in my first install, and MAJOR BORKERY HAPPENED.

I was playing through the beholder dungeon in the Underdark, and it was working fine until I tried to leave to the main Underdark map. That is where the crash to desktop occurs.

I also can't load an earlier save from the Underdark, so it's clear that it's that map which is primarily screwing it up.

I've been over folder contents a zillion times and tried to figure out if any of my new mega-mod install accidentally targeted the wrong folder, but the only files with a recent date are the savegames and cache + temp folders. I tried deleting the cache and temp folders, but that hasn't seemed to help.

(I also determined that somewhere in there I accidentally replaced my dialog.tlk file with a "clean"
one - oops! (there was a little while where item descriptions were missing and my palms started to sweat) but fortunately Windows had a copy of the recent modded one in a restore point, so I restored that and now item descriptions are back. But the underdark crash is still happening. )

I'm posting here because I know there are some animation crashes associated with Aurora and it's the last mod I installed before biffing everything. Are there specific items that tend to cause a problem in the underdark? What the heck is going on? I'm about ready to tear my hair out.

Oddly, I played through the UD before on this install and had no problem, and obviously walked through there to get to the beholder dungeon, but now it won't load.

Weidu.log attached.

Oh, and every time it crashes (with logging on) I get the error message,




ASSERTION FAILED!
File: ObjAnimation.cpp
Line: 22763

Exp: FALSE

Msg: no msg.
Run Debugger?

in baldur.err.


Edit: And it looks like the timestamp on ar2100.are is definitely from when I installed Aurora...

Glad you got it fixed!

It's not clear from this post what the problem's cause or solution was. Messing with dialog.tlk would only result in garbled text strings, not bad animations. Also, stores.bif contains only store (.sto) files, not animations or anything like that.
