Problem-BIG problem

Fiend · 09-03-2002, 08:31 AM

After starting SOA again as a generic archer(a feature in the soulafien mod) I got jaheira into my party and noticed a big problem. every time i tell her to move she goes about 1 metre(in game terms) and stops. I dont really like druids so it isnt that bad, but i need a healer for the 1st part and im worried that it might happen with a different character that i do like. Minsc, me, and imoen all move fine its just jahiera. Has anyone heard of this before and how do i fix it??
Thanx.

I got a very similar problem - at one point of the game Minsk when ordered to go went one-two meters (game terms), stopped a bit then went on. So he lagged in the tail of the party for too long! I even thought of kicking him out of the party, but finally got the solution: in the config program (or in baldur.ini file) turn off the enhanced pathfinding (not a very useful feature IMHO) and there should be no problem. try it out!

Thanx TaSSaDaR i'll try it out, hopefully-(fingers crossed, mutters a prayer under his breath) it will work.

You're welcome

If you can try that in 20-30 minutes I still wil be here (hopefully) to think of an alternative solution

ive just changed the enhanced path finding from 1 to 0 and the same thing still happened! do i have to do something else?

TaSSaDaR · 09-03-2002, 09:02 AM

Hmm. In my case it simply worked. By the way, did you restart the game? If not, SAVE, exit it and run it again, check out. And if you are running a slow machine, consider lowering the resolution and effects setup. I did them all together, and just in case, do the same

Exact list: Lovered Ai_updates_per_second from 30 to 25, turned off footstep sounds, reduced path search nodes, turned off enhanced AI pathfinding and turned off 3D animations. Finally got a steady flow of FPS bu the way

It is obviously an AI bug. Maybe you install a bugfix, patch etc? I didnt do it, but maybe you should try it.
