Where did you find the files to manually d-load them? I have someone trying to get my bwp set up as i gave up on it and they tell me that they thought they had it all figured out and were trying to install the files after lauching the bwp installer, but the gibberlings 3 link attempts kept failing. It would seem that gibberlings 3 is gone as the site(url) has been suspended so any links (and i'm told there are many) to gibberlings 3 will no longer work. I'll let them continue working on it if they want, (my daughter and g-daughter), but i'll just play a vanilla run through all the games and call my nostalgia yearning over and done and start on skyrrim.  Cheers!

PS: My girls have my log-in info and will continue to watch, post and look for answers here.

I was getting the same issues and even after i dropped all the bags on my 1 game, the molasses lag never left. I had to delete the save as the game was totally unplayable. I think some of the issues(based on observation as well as trial and error) have to do with;

1) The sound file that comes with the donkey mod you buy at the friendly arms in seems to cause problems as well as being too loud!! It must have been recorded on too high a volume and makes my speakers sceeech. The donkey i used in this mod was limited to 100 items and never died. It fought until it took a certain amount of damage then would disapear for a short time.

2) While my girls are working on fixing BWP for me, i started a new game to test a few things out. I avoided any mod npc's and restricted my use of bags to 2 gem bags, 1 potion bag and 1 scroll case. I had no stuttering after the nashkel mines like i had on my 1st game and it stayed relatively stable through some of the other maps i did to build up lvls. Then for no reason at all, i started to stutter a bit, on the temple map. Nothing drastic, just a tiny bit of stutter. Then as an experiment i then tried to hire the npc called gavin? from the temple near Beregost and immediately my stutter went nuts. So it seems that at least this npc and maybe others i haven't tried cause stutter(i do believe one of the bullets in the install faq mentions something about that).

Kind of a bummer to have all these npc mods and not being able to use them . If all i wanted was the BG2 interface while playing Bg1 and a few small, stable mods, (on the chance that my girls can't fix my issues....1 issue my grand-daughter mentioned was my less than stellar vid card ((not ati's "finest moment" series of cards, the X series. Mine is an X1650 on this computer while on my new computer i run 2X 2mb ati 5850's in crossfire)). What would you folks suggest? Just a bare minimum install? I can't remember as i type this what the other 2 options were before the "standard" one i chose. Maybe one of the other options bgtutu i think it's called?

I hope this made sense as i just came home after an overnighter for some chemotherapy and it tends to really mess me up for a few days afterwards.

Been there done that Fouinto. I'm afraid i've lost patience with the mods. This is too much of a hassle for me when i have to be here every 2nd day checking bugs out and reporting issues. That's not a reflection on anyone here or any of the modders at all , so i hope anyone reading this doesn't get discouraged from using BWP. It's well worth it and the work that's gone into it is amazing. I'm just too old and impatient these days to sit there for hrs trying to figure out mods or ltests or stuttering so bad i get a migraine. (Even more importantly, i begin to wonder if my computer system is even healthy). I just wanted to install this thing and play my old favorite until the next fallout, the upcoming elder scrolls in november and the final mass effect come out. I'll probably just play an un-modded game all the way through and skyrim should be out. Maybe if my daughter or grand-daughter come to visit, i'll sick them on this project. They both love these types of computer/programming/modding challenges that i once relished.

ps thnx for the correction on the name. Despite my bad memory i was close Jarno was the one who helped me out with my previous stutter issue.

Now I just wish this stuttering would stop. I ran into my 1st issues of stuttering after i finished the Nashkel mines. Once I returned to Beregost, the game was almost unplayable. Got some help and ideas from (sorry i forgot his name...jaarno?after 4 heart attacks, my memory is terrible)but that issue too also fixed itself eventually and for reasons i haven't figured out. I left beregost, went a few areas away and it got better, returned to beregost and all was fine again. Now i'm having the issue in Baldur's gate. Started well enough on the entrance map, then got worse as i progressed deeper into the city. Now i'm at the Hall of wonders and was about to teach Ragefast a lesson and it got so bad it's unplayable as of the lsat save. I'll try the same tactic and see if that helps(since i got a new quest that takes me out of the city anyways). Hopefully it works. I know from talking with (again his name Jaarno?), he mentioned i think something about the ambient sounds being the cause. I'll post this on it's own thread after i've tried a few things.

Actually gents, my gut feeling was correct and the solution turned out to be simple. I did appreciate the ideas and suggestions though and i was going to try them out later on. Once i reached Baldur's gate (bridge) the wolf leveled up and it removed both chew toys from my inventory automatically, then gave just the 1 back. It was a minor annoyance for a few chapters but Issue resolved .
