Inriri

I solved it, somehow. Seems for me installing Tales of the Sword Coast into program files magically made everything better.

So this popped up



Why is this happening? During the setup and I had set the path to C:\BI\Baldur's Gate. After hitting ctrl+break the install is proceeding normally, but I wonder if that will mess things up.

Edit: Still getting the same error

You did start the patched game before you installed any mods to it, right ?

Correct, and made a save in each game.

Edit: uninstalled and deleted everything. Gonna give it another shot and see what happens. It's installing right now, so hopefully it'll go over well

Googling revealed this:

ChDimm.cpp at line number 805 or 834
BG2 failed to start up. Try to reinstall. Make sure that the baldur.ini file is NOT flagged read only and make sure that the [Alias] section is pointing to the correct directories of your install.

Here is a sample of what the [Alias] section should look like for a full install:

[Alias]
HD0:=D:\Games\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\
CD1:=D:\Games\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\CD1\
CD2:=D:\Games\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\CD2\
CD3:=D:\Games\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\CD3\
CD4:=D:\Games\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\CD4\

D:\Games\... obviously refers to your own installation directory.


Different launcher refers to starting the game without TobEX, by using either the normal BG2 launcher or bgmain.exe.

This is what I have under alias:
[Alias]
HD0:=C:\BI\BGII - SoA\
CD1:=C:\BI\BGII - SoA\CD1\
CD2:=C:\BI\BGII - SoA\CD2\;C:\BI\BGII - SoA\CD2\
CD3:=C:\BI\BGII - SoA\CD3\
CD4:=C:\BI\BGII - SoA\CD4\
CD5:=C:\BI\BGII - SoA\CD5\

I have tried the normal BG2 launcher and bgmain.exe, but I still get the same error. Tales of the Sword Coast launches fine, albeit with no mods if that helps any.

Did you read the FAQ's answer 2 ?

Yes. I made sure everything was off before I started everything. My filepath is C:\BI\BGII - SoA for the mods
