Usually I post for help or complaints. But this time I have some good news.
I had to re-install my mega mod game. Something got messed up because I replayed the BG2 segment of the game from the end of BG1 too many times.
In the last game, I used Widescreen v3.05. The game would freeze or crash about every 5-10 minutes. Strangely, if I save every few minutes, it prolonged the time between freezes or crashes. I did not understand why.
Before re-installing, I checked for later editions of the mods in my game and found Widescreen v3.06. I have 190 mods in the game. The only one I changed was Widescreen. This time, I have played for about 20 hours before my first crash. All indications are a problem with TobEx not Widescreen. So the authors of Widescreen really did a great job in fixing the problem. With that many mods, there are bound to be problems, but this fix did a great job of making Widescreen compatible with all the mods that I use.
So if you are having frequent freeze ups or crashes and you are using an earlier version of Widescreen, I recommend you switch to v3.06. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
