Pathfinding

[Baros]

I had to uninstall BG2 a few months ago and after re-installing I've found that pathfinding isn't quite what it used to be.

I've got TOB with latest patch installed (I've also installed the baldurdash fix pack and a couple of mods, but nothing that should affect this part of the game) which is the same as I had before. I don't remember getting as annoyed with it as I am this time - quite frankly it sucks.

An example - in Irenicus' dungeon level 1. The party (of four) are standing outside of the door to the air elemental room. I click on Irenicus' bedroom (between the Dryad area and the portal room) and then go off and make a cup of tea. For some reason those idiots think that the best route is via the Cambion's room, but at this point they all stand there, looking like they're having a severe bout of epilepsy (no offence).

And again, in the docks from the north-east entrance I click just south of Mae'vars guildhouse and wait. 3 of them (of a party of 6) actually made it. The other 3 decided that a first floor (I suppose second to the Americans) balcony of said guild is the right place to be. Again, violent fitting seems to be order of the day.

I've ensured that "enhanced pathfinding" is set and tried increasing the node value from the default of 32000 - any increase above that gives no extra benefit. It is driving me mad. I wouldn't mind so much but I KNOW it was better a few months back...

Any advice (apart from a better computer - although donations are welcome [img]smile.gif[/img] )?
