Hello,
 
I'm playing a BG2 with Mega Mods, but not BGT so only BG2 with many mods.
 
I know quite a bit about scripting and changing variables so fixing quest bugs is no issue but I have a very strange issue throughout the whole game.
 
For example, I could visit all regular BG2 area without issues at the beginning of the game but since I've started some big mods like TDD and RoT in my game some strange things started to happen. The big mods reuse a lot of areas and weds and particular some BG2 weds. I had several issues in RoT where the game would freeze with AR0316 to AR0319 wed files.

 

Anyway, I have now a really big issue for my game because I can't enter the Five Flagons Inn anymore!

 

I'm still in Chapter 2 and just finished the journey to the north in RoT. I'm about to got to Chapter 3 with the G3 Alternatives but for that I have to go to the Inn. However, after the area loads, my game simply freezes. This means some kind of corruption in wed or tis file.

 

What I can't get is that I've gone through the whole playhouse quest and everything else there before. I have been to the Inn like a dozen times, but now it crashes. Why?

 

Here my weidu.log:

EDIT:
Ok, I've found the reason for the problem. Because RoT couldn't access files in original bifs (AREA030A and AERA050A), I've extracted them earlier. But it seems if the files are in override then the original areas will freeze since the files are expected to be in the bifs. Seems to be a referencing issue and RoT didn't properly address it during installation. I've read some issues about that before but I won't re-install my game because of this.

 

I'm used to saving every second anyway...

Please upload your tobex.log, baldur.log & baldur.err :)

 

Were you able to enter the Five Flagons Inn at any point in your game?

If yes, have you made any installation changes since you were able to enter the inn properly?

Well, I've written that I've been in the Five Flagons Inn many times prior to doing the RoT quests. And I've stated my conclusion in the EDIT part of my post.

 

It's really strange but for some reason RoT areas can't access area files in original bifs while vanilla BG2 can't access them in override. Don't know how to solve that without a new installation...
