Hi,

I got bored at work and took my old BG2 disks out of the closet to give it a go.

However during the install process I got an error message, that the file AREA040A.BIF is corrupt, to which I did not pay much attention at the time. I should have

It appears that my CD2 had been damaged and now when I first go to the Slumms and talk to Gaelan Bayle, then the game hangs when we try to go to his "better place for such conversations". Apparently this is the area 040a that should be loading, but is corrupt.

I assume that this problem would go away if I could ged a new area040a.bif file from somewhere. Maybe someone in this forum would like to help me out?

The file is located on your CD2/data/ directory and is about 16,3 MB and can not be packed much smaller either, so e-mailig it is most likely out of the question, but maybe we can organise a direct transfer over MSN Messenger or I can provide you with an FTP upload slot?

Anyway, I hope maybe someone can find the possibility to help me out - I would be really grateful [img]smile.gif[/img]
