WOW i cant believe it.... it works !!!

Ill try and make a short list of what i did differently from past installs:

-deactivated AV (McAffe) while Dl-ing missing addons (kept previous BWS Downloads folder)
-made shure the addons that i listed above were deleted when i copy-pasted the addon folder
-deactivated SpyBot (dont even know why i had that on)
-didnt convert saves when i installed tales of the sword coast (doubt it matters)

Also the whole install process seemed alot different from the previous tries despite using the exact same version in 4 of the tries. (but that might just be paranoia)
Im very very happy that this time (the 4 previous installs of this version didnt have this) the menu icon changed along with BGT menu ("Elminster Wielding Sword" background if im not mistaken)

I'll run a full PC scan and.....hope for the best and that the game will still be working.
I'll post after.

Hope it helps.

Doing everything by the book with the installs (game was working fine if a little slow up to an unfortunate hdd wipe) but im getting the same "An assertion failed in CTiledObject.cpp at line number 179 Programmer says: Tiled Object resref not found"

Have you cleaned the your cache, temp and tempsave folders ?
If you still get that, read my signature about and the baldur.err file copy paste it's content after you run into it, if you do.

Yes, i tried clearing the cache/temp folders.
I will try to redo the install with the AV off during the download section and see how that works out. I still have the nagging feeling that the AV deletes some files on a whim. (combined with a faint memory that i did that the time i got the game working)
Ill put a reply regardless of the outcome (also now i know where to look so i can give more details )

Thanks for the reply.

Hello,

I too would like some information on this problem as it's the one i keep getting in my past 5 installs.
Doing everything by the book with the installs (game was working fine if a little slow up to an unfortunate hdd wipe) but im getting the same "An assertion failed in CTiledObject.cpp at line number 179 Programmer says: Tiled Object resref not found"

I can only note 2 things that seemed suspicious. One is Aurora Shoes and Boots mod failing during install
The second and more notable would be that during the download part McAffe reports trojans (and autodeletes). The antivirus is off after the downloads are complete and before the installation begins.
The addons aparently guilty of causing the AV to react are: portablehole; KonTwk; Eldoh; Quayle; SNAKES

Any chances that the files become corrupt resulting in this error?

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks
