Installed vis BWS using Tactical build.  Playing thorugh BWT, finished BG1 and just into BG2.  Only one beholder in all of BG1 that I ran into and avoided that.  But now an enemy mage summons a Gauth and Wham - game lock up or crash.   

 

Another item I have noticed is that I often (though not always) "loose control" of summoned monsters (ie skeletons) if they go out of my range of vision - they turn from green to red, and then I have to fight them. 

 

 

Any input?

Enable the error logging in ToBEx and post what it posts ...

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit). 
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

Blah - another issue.  Whenever I move between sections of the city in BG2, if I am "waylaid" by someone, it starts to load a "fight" zone and then crashes to desktop with the following error:

 

An Assertion failed in ChVidImage.cpp at line number 1921

Programmer says: .BAM is corrupted (GetFrame() failed)

 

:-(

You are encountering a .cre that has a two handed weapon and a shield equipped...
Try to reproduce this crash happening with the Console and this code:

CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("RETHIE01",[585.542],10)

If it does, there's way to go by it... but it needs a editing skill.

When I cut and paste in the string:

 

CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("RETHIE01",[585.542],10)

 

I get a syntax error.  On the other hand, if I simply type in:

 

CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("RETHIE01")

 

That works and a slaver pops up near my location.  He does not have any flaming weapon though, using a ranged weapon, and the game proceeds fine. 

 

 

AND.. further information on the other issue - Beholders do not necesarily lock the game up.  I just had a beholder and 2 Gauths pop up.  The beholder aggro'd me and tossed an attack at me (I resisted, yay).  Then, the Gauth aggro'd and WHAM - game lockup hard to a black screen.    ALSO, I am playing a solo sorc thorugh and I sent in a handfull of skeletal warriors to fight - a gauth got summed after I lost my wizard eye.  Even when off-screen, the gauth locked up the game to the black screen.   :-( 

 

Ok.. more fight.  I <control>Y'd the two Gauths and sent a few skeletal warriors against the Beholder.  It started firing on them and after a number of beholder attacks in rapid succession, wham - game lockup yet again.  <sighs>

 

Hope this helps!!

As a note - due to this (the most major bug) and other misc. ones, I have decided to reinstall.  So.. if you have a solution, yay.  But, hopefully after a reinstall I will not have this issue again.   :-)

Everytime I reinstalled it (this is the 15 times), the crash is always reappear.

when beholder attack me , the blackscreen disaster happens again.

seems like beholder's attack graphics causing some problems.

uwee..

I'm having this same problem and it's extremely frustrating after beating the entire BG1 with a tactics install without running into a beholders..... Now the game is entirely unplayable.

Is there a fix to this? Or is a reinstall needed?
