I do not think I have been to the the North Forest area before, so I went to it to see what is in it.  Not much except for a group near the bottom of the screen.  The group has a Priest of Cyric.  All the members of the group have red circles.  I can kill everyone in the area accept the Priest of Cyric.  Attacking him causes the game to crash without any error messages.

 

I searched, but only found old (2008/2009) comments.  None mentioned this problem.  Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Tom.

I guess no one else has this problem.
 
I have a save game from Baldur's Gate.  It is at the point where you talk to Belt and he sends you to Amn.  Four times I have played Shadows of Amn from this save game and each time it is different.  The difference is usually out of sync actions of characters in my party, but also in the actions of enemies.  Sorry I have not recorded these.
 
This time is the best.  It plays like the original SoA game from the CD.  Well most of it except for the Priest of Cyric.  Even the mods follow there sequence and the audio part is surprisingly very good.  I have heard background sounds that I did not hear before.  I wonder what causes the changes in the game when you are using the same saved game to start, the same BGT game to play, the same Windows 7 operating system, and the same computer to play the game.
 
I will have more to say when I complete SoA.

I know how to fix this problem!!! I hope that you will read this! This is one of the many little problems I have been able to troubleshoot myself, I am so glad I can maybe help someone!

 

You need to edit this guy's .CRE file, he has been assigned a mace and a sling in his 1 and 2 weapon slots, and another mace in his off hand!

This causes the game to crash when he attempts to switch from the mace to the sling, as it is illegal to equip a missile weapon with another weapon in the offhand.

The solution is to simply open up his .CRE file and remove the offhand mace!

His .CRE file should be AR18PRIE.CRE , just open it up with the editor in Shadowkeeper and remove that pesky mace!

If for some reason you are unable to do this, I can actually give you my edited .CRE file, but since I don't have an account I think I would have to upload it to mega or something.

I only wish I had checked here a few days ago, but hopefully you will see this!

Hi Jimmy the Destroyer:

 

Thanks for your reply.  Sorry I did not get back to this post sooner, but I am having trouble with another mod.  I will check out the file and apply the fix.  I believe there was something similar like this a few years ago.  Another character, I think it was Drizzt, had a incorrect weapon in one slot.

 

I got messed up by another mod so I have been stalled in the game for a while and did not get back to my posts.  Now to see about the other problem.

 

Thanks again,

 

Tom
