Hello, everybody.

 

I did a BWP install on a virtualbox virtual machine running clean freshly installed WinXP x86. Have .net v4 installed. I ran the game, pressed "new game" and the process hang. I couldn't do anything except reboot the machine from the host system. After that, the bgmain.exe started crashing immediately. Following the clues from system events' journal, I've re-installed the .NET and also installed vc2008 redistributable package. After that, the TobEx loader appears to be running, but the game crashed nonetheless. Unmodded bg2 and bg run smoothly.

 

What can be done at that point to debug the problem?

The tobex debug help says:

 

Troubleshooting
---------------
First, make sure that TobEx is actually the issue.
You can forcefully disable TobEx from running by renaming TobEx.dll in your game directory.

For more debugging information:
1. Open TobEx_ini/TobExCore.ini in a simple text editor.
2. Under the [Debug] section, set all values of 0 to 1.
3. Try to reproduce your error in-game. TobEx may sometimes reports some extra information about the error.
4. Report any errors you find on the Spellhold Studios forums. Expect to be asked to attach a .zip of your saved game folder, WeiDU.log, TobEx.log, TobExCore.ini, and TobExTweak.ini.

 

 

But why are you using a virtual machine to run the game ? The game should run fine without any such a thing. And the game is very combersome even without any virtualization. Of course if it's a Mac or Linux machine... you might wish to restrict yourself from ToBEx usage, BGT and so forth...

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.

Shame on me. I didn't think of enable verbose logging. Here's the log. Any ideas how to deal with it?

 

As for virtual machine, yes, I'm running it on Mac, I have no possibility to do this on windows at the moment (no access to a windows machine).

Well, I don't know, but at least these don't even matter:

As they are just the mage kit tables that normally do not exist.

I've figured it out. I had 3d acceleration disabled in the config. Turning it on helped. Thanks for the hint with the log.
