[*]Beyond the Law ( v1.35) [link] - Beyond the Law is conceptually incompatible with the "Additional equipment for Thieves and Bards" component of Rogue Rebalancing since Arledrian (who is an important plot character in BTL) leaves during the "A Missing Fence?" quest which is introduced by this component.

What exactly will happen if a user installs both RR and BtL in regards to Arledrian? Does conceptual incompatibility mean that the BtL portion of the game cannot be completed, or simply that there is some sort of continuity problem wherein Arledrian can seem to have two different fates? And if the former, is there a way you could update RR to make the Arledrian portion of the mod separate from the Additional Equipment portion?

Thanks.

EDIT: Nevermind, just read the appropriate thread in the BTL forums. Consider this a friendly reminder to update this for the next version...

While I can't comment on the specifics, I can verify that BGT v1.05, Divine Remix, and Refinements are all compatible with one another.  I have all three installed currently and don't have any problems with weapon restrictions.

No idea if this has been resolved yet or not (being a few weeks old and all), but this could easily be due to enabling 3D Acceleration under Windows Vista. Multiple users of Vista have reported similar lag with BG2 when 3D Acceleration is enabled in BGConfig. Try disabling it and the problem should disappear.

I too have recently installed BG2 and a bunch of mods onto Windows Vista, and found the process to be on the whole painless.  BGT seemed to install without any issues, although I did run into some problems with WinRAR being unable to create new directories due to the entire BG2 directory being set to Read-Only (unfortunately, for whatever reason whenever I turn off the Read-Only flag and close that particular window, it immediately resets back to it).  I did not have to switch out of my default User Account or change any compatibility settings.

And while it's highly unintuitive, those have problems with menu slowdowns or such things should disable the 3D acceleration within BGConfig and try again.  This seems to have eliminated this 'lag' from the majority of installs.  A brief smattering of information on this can be found on Bioware forums.

@gwyneth - cool - and next run, if the external version isn't out yet, drop me a PM and I will make sure you get the latest and greatest.

Actually, due to some other problems, it looks like I will be reinstalling and starting over from scratch. If you wanted me to playtest the latest internal version with BGT, I'd be happy to do so. Either PM with the info here or send it to gwyned at lycos dot com. Thanks!
