I'd held off on reinstalling for a while, waiting on the new version of BP....but finally went ahead and bit the bullet, to have a look at NTotSC and the sequel portion of Bone Hill.

I've had a number of minor issues--some fubared names and dialogue, no trolls at Firewine, minimal Xvarts at the village & gnolls at the fort, missing access to dragon hoard, Viconia thinks she's BGII--but nothing serious, nothing meriting comment since most of these have already been reported and will no doubt be fine on the new platform.

However, at this stage--and I've just killed the Forest Dragon, and done just about everything it's possible to do before entering the city of Baldur's Gate, except going north to the Fields of the Dead--the game is now crashing when I attempt to rest. Either at an in or out in the wilderness. The game just stalls for awhile, then I get a popup telling me the program found an error and has to close.

Anyone else hit something similar? Anyone have any suggestions?

I experienced a problem like this some time ago. In my case I was able to track down a TDD spell I just learned (iirc it was cloudkill) to be the reason. After I removed that spell from my spell book everything was fine again.
This may be your problem too, but you'll have to do some experimenting to figure out which spell might be the cause :(

Yes, the TDD spells have been causing this problem. Also some items but I don't remember which ones. Don't we have Horred's fixes for the TDD spells? Or did he not post them yet? Yacomo, Cloudkill is a normal spell, are you sure it wasn't Steam or Acid Cloud or some other TDD spell?

Tired of Bhaal? Try some classics mods instead:

Uh, my memory is fading :wacko: - did a quick forum search, it was the 'heavy fog' spell in my case. Don't know, what Horred fixed in the meantime, but that one was still broken with s&h patch v6.

We recently found a copy of Heavy Fog, and Edwin had it in his spell book.  Erasing it fixed the problem.  Thanks very much!
