Tricky

Upon starting a new game (in Candlekeep) I can't initiate dialog with anyone. Although reloading a LOT will sometimes help, it's very annoying. I Googled the issue extensively and all I ever see is 'you have to install the latest TOB patch!' The things is, I have. BG1 is also correctly patched.

I am not running any weird or unusual mods, AFAIK. Just the mainstream ones, the G3 Fixpack (correctly installed before BGT), BGT, and their respective fix/tweak packs. The only really unusual thing about this installation is that I'm running it on Linux. But I followed all the guides and jumped through all the hoops and it is working fine. Aside from this 'appears to be busy' bug.

I already tried reinstalling everything, which was kind of a pain and made no difference whatsoever. Please help me, I've been trying to get everything to run for over a week now..
