So, I downloaded Baldur's Gate II a week and a half ago and have been enjoying it immensely. Unfortunately, there have been some problems; occasional random crashing (nothing that's been horrible or game breaking, but annoying) and, more disastrously, the inability to load some areas.
I solved one problem by never going to the Order of the Radiant Heart temple in the temple district, but now the game is refusing to load Suldanessellar. It crashes every time I talk to Elhan after having killed Bodhi, specifically when I finish the conversation and I reach the loading screen, where it then crashes.
I have some mods installed (G3 Tweak and Fixpack, The Viconia ending from the Edwin romance pack, flirt pack, banter pack, and I think that's it.) I have used Shadowkeeper, but not for anything heavy duty (messing with my PC's stats instead of rerolling, giving myself a few items out of convenience, changing Minsc's class from Ranger to Barbarian, but again nothing heavy duty).
I'm running it on Windows 7, but just changed the compatibility so that it has XP selected and for it to run as administrator because some people said it helps. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the whole thing. I can't find anything else to do, so I'm now asking directly. I'm not very experienced with computers, but I think I've done a pretty fair job of trying to puzzle out the problem, so I don't think it's necessarily incompetence on my end (though I could be wrong!).
If I have to use Shadowkeeper/something else to skip the area/chapter/whatever, that would be acceptable. I'd like that to be Plan B, but really I just want to finish the game and move on to the expansion.
Anyway, I would appreciate the help.
