What's your screen resolution ?

I am betting that it's one of those non standard above 1024x768 ones. Yeah, they cause natively the crash... to be able to play the game with higher resolution, you just need to use the widescreen mod the bigg made a long ago, to fix the natively wrongly configured screen proportions&graphical asset offsets.

 

Not that I am sure about the cause of the problem.

Well, the only known resolution that should work of the unsupported res is the 1024x768 ... so it shouldn't be that. And so installing the Widescreen mod shouldn't fix it either.
I'll ask you to open the baldur.ini file with Notepad for example and copy paste the files content to these:

No idea why spoiler tag not working. Is it because of brackets [] in pasted text or spaces?

Well, darn. It wasn't what I suspected there either...

[Shadire]

I think that my bug could be related to problem described here: 

 

http://www.shsforums...gt-fixpack-fix/

 

When I installed this fix, game no longer crashes when launching BG2. However, Irenicus cutscene still does not launch. My char just keeps standing in the cage unable to exit with no Irenicus nor Imoen coming.

Ok I take back my previous statement (about faulty unzip in the installpack).   I just installed Sword Coast Stratagems (v30) and the game crashed (froze actually) when I clicked the New Game button.  Just to make sure, I uninstalled the SCS mod, and the game ran fine.  The problem is in SCS folks.  If this helps, I only installed the spells revision portion of SCS.  I don't know if the other parts of the mod are OK.

Did you install the SR exclusive SCS or the v30(+with or not BWP fixes) ?

It has never been about the file format, as the BWP and todays the BWS have been long time able to extract the archives as long as file coding has been reliant(aka the only mod that's not that is the Infinity Animations within a system that doesn't use the Latin as the base Windows codepage at character encoding, among them Russian, Polish and that sort of things). That's todays handled mostly by handling the character encoding during install phase, as EE games relay on the restructured .tra file encoding.
