Okay, I really wish I could explain this.... I have once again "stumbled" onto a fix...and not sure how....

Was tweaking around with the game, and crashed on irenicus's second dungeon level.....okay....

Opened up near infinity, and ran one of the searches that check all the files, and lo and behold! I'm missing like 30 AREA####.bif files...The hell?

Well, decided to say "screw it"...popped in the dvd, and copied and pasted all the missing bifs in, careful not to overwrite what i had (incase mods changed them)..

Loaded up...and Imoen Romance dialogue #1 began.....

......
....
..

I have no explanation, but problem solved. (Oh, and Dungeon Level 2 didn't crash anymore either)

Now that you've said that...the only "off" thing that happened in BG1 was Viconia starting a BG2 conversation...and i just did a quick search and apparently, the script in 1.2 kills any romance if another is going on....though it should still give her "Friendship" stuff....hmmmm.

And I could just keep playing....I just kinda wanted to romance Viconia and Imoen at the same time....

Viconia (to turn her CG/TN) by end of TOB.
And Imoen, for the extra dreams and stuff...

Imoen's awesome afterall.

Case closed... Not sure what was wrong, but ended up doing the full reinstall.... added the TOB patch for the hell of it, just in case it wasnt on the DVD.

Game started fine without freezing on 1920X1080.

Few things I did differently:

-The ToB patch
-Configured BG2 before even attempting to install the widescreen mod.
-Upped The Wild Magic and familiar mods to before Bg2 Tweaks.

It's in C:\Games\BGII - SOA\

IT's 1920 x 1080..the one that crashed.

Course, my exprimentation seems to have royally screwed up BGMain.exe...it won't change it anymore....time to see if theres a patch i guess?

And this time i'm making a backup folder



Edit: Also... 1900 X 950 is...pretty nice windowed.

I'll pick it up in the morning..problem is on hold to see if the issue is still there after re-installing all the Weidu.

Nothing. It is the standard windows 7 "BG2.exe (or w/e) had stopped responding"...when clicking on details it says "Application Crash".

As far as ToB patch, I'm unsure. I always figured that since my CDs were on DvDs and purchased long after the original patch sites went down, that they were up to date.

But I did have to get a ToTSC patch to install BGT... so maybe not..

What's the latest version I need...

I guess I may have to reinstall. (Less time than undoing every Weidu, patchings, then re-doing every WEIDu.

EDIT-EDIT-EDIT:

SON OF A BIT-....ahem.

It's Widescreen mod! i randomly uninstalled it (cause hey, why the hell not try..) and the game started fine.

.....but I need my widescreen..... ran it at 1920 X 1080..... thoughts?

-----------------------More Trouble shooting------------------------------
...1600 x 900 works...but not 1920 x 1080.

Windowed: 1800x1012 works, but not 1900 x 1068 (This is me testing random numbers to find the sweet spot on a 16:9 ratio...though lets try outside the ratio)

1920 x 960....patch fails, along with 1900 x 950.....unusual ratio are expectedly problematic. (Nm, the results are flawed...soemthing happened during one crash making editing BGmain.exe impossible...restarting computer.
