Did you try a complete reinstall yet?

[ronin]

Why dont you download them and then copy them to a usb stick or burn them to cd.

[wellunhappy]

no..., i could try rerolling back to the small mods, but since i had to erase the components of the megamods(not enoungh HD space) i cant really reinstall unless i redownload and reinstall everything again, sommething which i d rather avoid, since it took me about 10 hours...

yeh it sucks sure, but reading what you wrote i really think a fresh install is required, i also really think you should seriously cut back on some of your mods or install bit by bit if you can get away with it, take it from a gal who's weeped on her keyboard many times.

[quote that actually makes a lot of sense, sadly, they r all history now.....will the double imoen component really break my install? because that aside, everything seems to be working peachy

isnt there another way to adress the issue, like with near infinity, or shadowkeeper, or just using the CLUA console?

If i understand correctly, you can always recover files from recycle bin aka the harddrive if thats your problem im always having blonde moments and deleting stuff then weeks later recovering them from the Harddrive. 'PC inspector a free download is not the best but easy to use for this purpose.

with regards to a peachy install, ahhh if i had a penny I don't want to be the bringer of doom but a peachy install on day one might be Fubarrr in 50 hours of play is this what you want, is it . Okay option two is plod on and just hope that the problems you encouter can be fixed with a NI or classed as minor bugs which result in some quests being unfinishable. Of course a clean install with only a few mods is going to minomise tears, but i wish you luck, if you want to push on let us know how you get on

[wellunhappy]

yep, i ve decided to push on(after being able to adress some anoying issues with in the beginning wih RoT without a clean reinstall) since i will probably walk away in frustration and rage if i am to do a fresh install again(my PC s kind of old, and my HD s only 18GB, so you may imagine the pain) . i ve already encoutered some mildly anoying things(immune torgal at d arinse, hanging after a RoT cutscene) but nothing new, that a Crom Faeyr or a few lines on the NI cant fix.....yet. ill keep a record of encountered bugs for anyone interested in trying this particular mega-instal, adn, ofcourse, for the more-than-ocasional plea for help

actually i just remembered babe i had a game with 2 immy's and hit major problems in spellhold its one of my posts from back in october 2005 i think, i sorted it out by deleting the override folder and screaming.

[wellunhappy]

alrighty, first major anoyance, and a typical one too; the almighty, ever-present stutter bug, just like in my last instal. its, just starting, wich makes the game still playable, but im pretty sure it wil get worse. i ve checked the forum for info, but there s a massive amount of content, with A LOT of different causes and recovery methods, which make browsing a delightful pain in the backside. anyone have some general advise for the typical causes and fixing ways to try fast and simple, or even better, a way to find out why this is happening? help would really be apreciated concerning this damn curse, since it was what drove me from continuing the first megainstall i tried.

and what was that about the to immys wellunhappy??? now im scared, is there really no cure for this, or were you actually being serious about erasing the override folder(i left my sarcasm glasses home, so i find it hard to see through it )

yeh very! it was something to do with the immy CRE that i got back, there is no predicting what is going to happen in your game, would'nt be cool to predict the future, anyway i just thought i'd let you let you know that two immy's is not a good sign. having said that TS sometimes creates two yoshi's which does not really cause major problems, its a minefield.

the dreaded stutterbug yuk, its a bit like me finding a spot and thinking i got breast cancer. most stutterbugs are solved by just emptying bags of holding, scroll cases, potion cases and weapon holders, so before you go thinking your game is finished, empty containers and see if its improved. And stay optismitic


i did a bit of research for you while waiting for the mail to arrive maybe this post will help

good luck chicken

so....no one knows the cluaconsole codes to put dritzz in the party?, it d really be a great help.....another small question though, does anyone know which are the global variables involved in the paladin s stronghold?, i screwed up a quest(got late to umar hills), but i dont want to lose the other quests or the stronghold.

by the way, i have gone through most of the quests in athakla, umar hills, windspear, d'arinse and the castles quest from RoT with no mayor bugs, everything has worked fine, so if you are interested in tryinf this particular install, its working fine, just remember to use the file from the first area given by seanas, ans his baldur.bsc is pretty useful to avoid the lovely stutter bug. oh and concerning this particular issue, i found a couple of things which dramatically improved the stuttering. one was telling rumar s wife rumar was upstairs in the copper coronet(seems very unimportant, but it fixed my stuttering DRAMATICALY) and the other one was going back to areas where i had summoned creatures so they would unsummon, as well as killing summoined creature before leaving an area.


thats about it,
cheers, and help would really be apreciated

"Well, I found a solution. Checked the ROT folder and found "Driz21". Just CLUA in, and he has the same joining dialogue (if Wulfgar is in party)" from an old post of mine. Just CLUA:CreateCreature("Driz21") - it might only work with wulfgar in the party.

Same thing happened to me and nobody shows up. Had to go back to an earlier save and clua'd to Umar Hills (AR1100) and messenger showed up. I think umar has to be the 1st area you go to when leaving town or quest is messed up. My problem was Isea Roenall showing up and grabbing Nalia, paladin messenger, and paladin battle going off at same time which crashed my game. (Ended up going to Nalia's keep, Isea snatches her away, then clua right to Umar Hills so no time delay to ruin quest.)

Encountered same issues. I kept telling her I don't know where he is, and have slow performance in CC (well everywhere to be honest..) Also usually have summoned creatures lying around (usually charmed animals which don't go away)
I'll try your solution and see if it helps.
