Hello -
Looking for some help on a problem. Whenever I am in a city or on the world map SOA either restarts my computer or freezes it. I had no problems in the initial dungeon or in the circus tent, but when I am just in the city, SOA causes the restart or freeze. The same thing happened in BG1 when I would be in a city. I have the patch installed and screensaver disabled. Any ideas? Thanks

Alex,
some things to try : - run BGCONFIG and make sure 3D is disabled. Also turn off EAX and ambient sound if they are enabled. - run windows explorer and delete any files in the CACHE/DATA subdirectory of your BG2 installation. - make sure any background programmes are turned *off* before running BG2. Especially applies to antivirus utilities but also others like realplayer, winamp and so on. Kez |

I'm having this exact same problem playing BG2 with Windows XP. Have directx 8.1 and detonator drivers, still no difference. It only happens in cities, ie Athkala, Trademeet, Drow city. Dungeons are all OK.
Did the suggestions work? Does anyone have any other suggestions? |
