@Leomar: Disregard the created/imported character thing from my first post. I misjudged what happened. I was able to circumvent the crash by reducing my lvl. 13 warrior (1.3mio XP) who always crashed the game upon entering Beregost to lvl 3 (4000 XP) via shadow master and resetting the lvl/XP to the former value after entering. Since I did this I can freely enter and leave Beregost with this character. I suggest there are multiple reasons that crash Beregost seperatly. The character from Xenocide's save game btw. IS a lvl 4 thief.

@ Xenocide: Could you please try to reduce your thief's level to 3 (with shadow master) and enter Beregost. If it works you can reset your XP/lvl to the original level.
Hope it helps.

But, has anyone tested my idea yet? With the help of the console it is a matter of 5 minutes. Just for the consistency of the procedure: Leave Candlekeep without talking to anyone (not even Imoen) except Gorion or changing item setup. After the cutscene go south to high hedge and create a seperate save game at the eastern border before going to Beregost. Then try to enter Beregost. It should work fine. Then reload the manual savegame and raise the XP in steps.

Oh I should add that the fixer reported no error in my save file and that it did not become unloadable after the crash (neither Auto, Quick, nor the regular saves).

German translation is done. I added the readme.



Edit: I was able to reproduce the crash with 100% accuracy when I tried to enter Beregost for the first time
with a character of level 4 or above. The problem seems not to be related to the XP accumulated by the time
entering Beregost, since the game does not crash when a warrior with 8000XP, but prior to levelling up to level 4
enters the town. But having levelled up the crash occurs. A mage with 8000XP and lvl. 3 may enter Beregost
without error. 10000XP and not levelled up works, while after levelling up entering produces a crash.
The occurance I posted before was a direct effect of this since the first character I imported was way beyond lvl.4
and the second character I tried this with (Warrior/Mage/Thief) had just turned lvl.4 in the thief aspect. In the game
I originally played the character I entered Beregost before this.
So as long there is no final fix for this problem, make sure to enter Beregost before hitting lvl. 4

Please let it be known if you are able to verify my findings.

Hi everyone,

maybe I found a clue to the Beregost crash mystery: As long as I play a main character that I create at the beginning
of the game everything is fine and I can enter and exit Beregost without the game crashing. But if I import a character
from a character file or saved game, the game crashes upon entering Beregost (even with a character imported from
a game in which entering Beregost works). My savefiles do not get corrupted (unloadable) by these crashes.
Please, everyone, think about if your corrupted save files have imported characters or genuinely created ones.
I hope this helps in pinpointing the whereabouts of the bug.

@Ascension64: If no one has translated the Crash Fixer into german by tomorrow, I'll do it for you.
