Hello.

 

I have a flawlessly built version of BGT (BWS manual) from 2008.

I am around the final battle with Melissana. Recently my dvd-rom got broken, my installation requires ToB disc.

So i tried to use this no-cd patch http://www.gameburnw...neofbhaal.shtml

It results in a crash when i load a saved game, even though the game itself launches fine.

I tried using Daemon tools with creating an ISO virtual disc, i made it from a simple BG2 Complete installation, the game doesn't run with it. (Perhaps i have to choose a new path of disc for the game to read from? If so, tell me how please)

Any ideas if there is a no-cd that should work with my installation's version or other way to launch the game without a disc?

 

Thank you in advanced

Does your game have the ToBEx installed on it ?
And after you make the BG2 Complete install, you need to copy over the old game folder ontop of that folder... everything else except the baldur.ini file for it to start the "old game" in that folder.

I do have ToBEx yes.

So i copy the content of my installation into BG2 complete folder except for baldur.ini?

Yes, the folders, the files .... that will then allow you to run that game as the original modded game, in the new folder. And if that doesn't work, you can uninstall that ... and retry.

What about TobEx can i fix the problem with modyfing it or something like that?

I do not play BGT anymore since EET was released, but I always used this one. Works on BG2/ToB and BGT. Before using it, make a backup of BGMain.exe, just in case. Works even under windows 10.

The modifications to the bgmain.exe are in the old files, so when you overwrite the new ones with the old, there's no need to reapply them as they are in the game already.
Roxanne's file might work if it were unmodified game, as that file is likely the patch v2.5.26498 international patch's bgmain.exe, as it's cracked by default, but that doesn't remove the fact that it's not ToBEx/widescreen mod patched and other things.
