Kievar

Yeah it has, I may just do a complete reinstall, just to be sure. Took about 4 hours all up, so not too bad. Luckily i had backed everything up, and extracted the mods to a separate folder first before copying into the BG2 folder for install.

Otherwise it appears that it should install perfectly fine

Well, that worked out well. Except that I had not extracted the "Shadows_harpy_frostgiant" and "Belhifet and Marilith" Rar's into the infinityanimations/content folder, and as a result the install.bat skipped the Infinity Animations install altogether and said to extract those files and re-run the installer at a later time.

After everything had finished, I did that. I extracted those files properly and re-ran the installer, only for it to freeze up. The game still plays fine however, but I dunno if anything will go boom later on in the game.

Is there a way to install those files only without using the installer?

Thanks for that Anduin, I didn't see that info about the IA files in that post last night, must have been too late for me but its exactly what I was looking for I haven't noticed any problems with any other zipped/Rar files after I extract the mains, at least my last attempt at the install only showed up the freeze when the install.bat tried to install Kivan.

Will update the Install and Fixpack and try again with another go tonight fingers crossed haha.

There's a real problem with BWP10.3 It borks when installing the Kivan mod (not Kivan's fault at all btw - this report sums it up)

Probably wait for an update before trying anything... or you could leave out Kivan and install normally

Ahhh, that is in fact the mod that the install froze on for me, good to know. By the way, with the Infinity Animations files, do we just extract these to the InfinityAnimations folder created when the base is extracted, or do particular extractions have to go to particular places in that folder?

Also, thanks to everyones input in this thread, this is only my second post here but i have found everything to be fairly straightforward, after initially wanting to scream and go jump out a window

Yeah i'm getting problems with my install as well, read all the posts through here carefully (I thought haha) extracted everything manually, although I think I need to double check where the IA animation packs go, as I wasn't too sure where individual packs went after the base was extracted.

Then when running the install.bat file, after about an hour it all froze up, hard drive started beeping at me and I had to shut it all down. Will give it another go when I have time

Its a bother as I got a stable install done with BWS a couple of weeks ago, while G3 was down (downloading the mods it said manually, although I didn't get everything I wanted), and then when G3 came back I went back and cleaned it all up intending on getting the mods I wanted, hoping that it was just because the G3 site was down that the mods weren't updated, but of course I then discovered that BWS is obsolete

Oh well, good things take time
