Hi. I've got a problem and I have no idea how to solve it.
I get this thing:

ASSERTION FAILED!
File: ChDimm.cpp
Line: 7641

Exp: pBiffHeader->dwFileType != mmioFOURCC('B', 'I', 'F', 'C')

Msg: d:\program files\black isle\baldurs gate 2012\cd2\DATA\AREA0700.BIF: attempted to use compressed BIF from CD, check free hard drive space
Run Debugger?

I read that I should use DLTCEP to decompress the BIF file, yet when I try to do so, I got error pop-out window saying "Decompression failed!"
Any idea what should I do?

Ok, I managed to fix it. Just in case someone has the same problem:
my Data directory had AREA0700.bif and when I tried to decompile the area with DLTCEP I got error because DLTCEP wasn't able to override it. I had to delete the AREA0700.bif file in Data directory. Then DLTCEP decompilled the bif in CD2 directory. Then I manually copied the decompilled file and copied it as well to Cache/Data directory. The it worked.
I have no idea it appeared to be that complicated in this particullar situation.

Sir, bravo zulu! Just had the same problem and your answer fixed my problem with DLTCEP, couldn't even get to Bone Hill. Thank you for posting this answer! Was about to throw in the towel and quit this module...and I really like Bone Hill. BTW, looking forward to playing Eilistraee's Song, it's been awhile since I've played and I remember it fondly.
