Read this if you got BGII from GoG

06 March 2011 - 03:36 PM

If you got BGII from Good old Games.com, and used the Big World Installer, try using the console to teleport to any BGII location outside of the starting dungion. If the location fails to load and asks for a CD instead you have the same problem I did. I think the problem is that GoG installations and CD installations have a different file structure. CD installations have 5 folders, one for each CD, while the GoG version has one folder. This throws off the big world installer, and screws up all locations in BGII that weren't on CD1. You'll probably have to reinstall. Unless, of course, I don't know what I'm talking about and the problem is something else entirely. In that case ignore the above.

Secondly, I have a fast computer, and the game still runs slowly. Every second or so the game freezes for a couple of frames. I turned down the framerate, turned off ambient sound, deleted cache and tempsave, but it didn't help. My previous installation ran fine, no slowing. I assume the problem is that I installed the tactics version, which adds lots of scripts. If so, what mod should I exclude next time to be able to play a game without everything running slowly?

Can't find cd

17 December 2010 - 07:15 PM

I'm running SoBH 2.75 BGT version as a part of the most recent BWP

I've started the bone hill quest, and adventured in a number of the zones without issue. However, when I try to enter the bone hill zone, or the cellar in the magic shop in town, or a number of other places, I get a popup asking me to insert cd 2, or cd 3.

The problem is that I didn't install from cds, and I don't have a cd directory. I got Baldurs gate as a download from Good Old Games. In my baldur.ini file, I have the following lines:

HD0:=C:\Program Files\GOG.com\BGII - SoA\
CD1:=C:\Program Files\GOG.com\BGII - SoA\data\
CD2:=C:\Program Files\GOG.com\BGII - SoA\data\
CD3:=C:\Program Files\GOG.com\BGII - SoA\data\
CD4:=C:\Program Files\GOG.com\BGII - SoA\data\
CD5:=C:\Program Files\GOG.com\BGII - SoA\data\
CD6:=C:\Program Files\GOG.com\BGII - SoA\data\

How do I tell your mod to look in the "data" folder for the information it needs?

I posted this to the bugs thread previously, but I'm reposting it here since apparently no one reads the bug thread.
