I keep on getting 'assertion errors' all over my game and it's ruining everything. It's really plaging me. They come up whenever I click the wheel that appears every time you try to leave an area. Does anyone know what I can do about this? Or is anyone else having the same problem? I'd appreciate any answers http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

<font color="white">My disk two is filled with trouble, even though I have the latest patch.
I never could remove the trouble, though the patch did reduce my trouble.
After Disk 2, I had no more problems.
My only way around those errors was to triple save every time I saved data...That prevented loss due to crashes.
Does any of this info help???</font>

Well unlike some of the people here im no great guy when it actually comes to playing BG but i do like to think when it comes to tech side of things im pretty well covered, from what it sounds like is it an assertion error in a file and the end piece(eg - .doc, .txt etc) is .cpp then i might be able to help u.

Here's what i know

If it happens on line number:

Line 302
This will occur if you attempt to install the patch for the full verison of Baldur's Gate on top of the Tales of The Sword Coast or the Chapter I & II version. Both of these later titles already have the patch encorporated. You will need to uninstall Baldur's and reinstall the games without installing that patch. If you have Tales of The Sword Cast installed please reference the TOSC patches page.

Line 1072
This will occur if Tales of The Sword Coast has been previously installed, the save games have been converted, but upon reinstallation of Baldurs TOSC was not reinstalled. You will need to install TOSC to utilize the save games that have already been converted.

Line 1780
This seems to occur most commonly when Tales of The Sword Coast is installed on top of the Chapter I&II version of the game. You can only install Tales of the Sword Coast onto the full version of Baldur's Gate.

All other line numbers
The majority of all other Assertion errors seem to be caused when the game is unable to locate a file that is needed or the file is corrupted. To correct this you will want to try the following:

Clean your cdrom drive with a lense cleaner and be sure that all dust, dirt, or glue has been cleaned from the cd's surface.
Be sure to delete the games cache (delete all files within {games folder}\CACHE\DATA\). When you restart, the program will recreate the cache and should repair the missing file. (If you have done a custom install you will want to find out the area # that is causing the trouble by checking the map. Once you have narrowed down the trouble area, delete that file from your DATA folder and attempt to recopy it from the cd back to the same DATA folder.)
If the previous two steps do not work you will want to try to use an earlier save game as well. There have ben a few reports of a corrupted save game causing this type of error.

Other than that i'd say try to reinstall and download all the patches

Oh this is great help, thanks a bunch you guys http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Dex--

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!

We've been playing for over a month and today, *just* today after I'd defeated tough baddie, I kept getting an assertion error line 1692. Drove me batty and then I remembered this thread and your advice. Dumped the cache data (after backing up the saved games just in case) and voila--I can now get where I needed to go!!! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

BTW, line 1692 has to do with entering the temple at Friendly Arms.

Thanks again!!!
