Big, strange problem with my game

krunchyfrogg · 02-26-2005, 02:17 PM

I was just playing BGII, and then, for some strange reason, the screen is shifted all the way to the top and left side of the map. I can't move the screen at all from this location, and therefore I can't go anywhere!

My party is currently in the Sauhuagin city, right next to that merchant. But I can't go anywhere else!

It's really strange, because I loaded up some previous saves, from this game and others, and now it's happening to all of them! All of my games are having the map shift to the upper left hand corner of the area we're in!

I'm fully patched, and the only mods I have installed are the new Banter Pack, the Flirt Pack (but there's no romance in my current game going on), and the Baldurdash fixpack. I have ToB installed.

If you can help, I'd really appreciate it!

Sounds like a problem with your keyboard. For some reason, it thinks that you're holding down the 7 on your numeric keypad, and so keeps shifting the screen up and to the left.

Try pressing Num Lock, or perhaps the key is actually jammed.

Just a side note, I used to have a problem like that, but it was because when a critical hit would occur and the screen would shake (actually any time the screen would shake) it would jump me over there. I wouldn't be able to move it for a few minutes, but if anyone else is having that problem and the num lock doesn't help, turning off screen shakes might help. Hope it helps someone anyway,
