V2 worked like a charm, Miloch!  I need not skip all those encounters anymore.

Your efforts to aid players (like me) who may be operating a wide spectrum of configurations and game versions is both impressive and laudable, especially given the age of these legacy games. Keep up the great work!

Miloch,

Per your recommendation from http://forum.baldurs...#Comment_588184 I have DL'd the full fix compilation http://www.shsforums...rri-and-wyvern/ and extracted just the 12 .bam files which pertain to the wyvern crashing problem (mwyvg12-14, mwyvg21-24 & mwyvg31-34) into override.  Unless I would experience a similar problem with the tanar'ri, I feel it better to postpone that portion of the extraction. 

To remind...I am running just the vanilla 5-CD version of Baldur's Gate with (what I believe is) the most current patch --> 1.1.4315.  OS is WinXP SP2. The Vcard is ATI Radeon X300, Driver 8.263.0.0.  DirectX version 9.0c.

I just tested it a few times after installing the fix files.  The first time, the game crashed as before.  The next 3 attempts, however, resolved successfully with the wyvern skulls dropping as designed.  I tried it both by leaving a party member outside the cave and with full party entering together.  Seems to work in either case.  (Please note the attached save file I also furnished in the forum.baldursgate.com thread.)

However, in all attempts, crash or not, the Large Wyverns were not visible on-screen so I was simply attacking the large red circles.  The baby wyverns were visible as normal.  I can continue to repeat testing of that save to gather a larger sample, but decided to wait to find out if the invisible animations should/can be addressed prior to more testing.

In any case, thank you for your attention and effort to help the community deal with this problem.
