@-sogdiane-: Yeah, Roxanne ist right, of course: You should ask the author. For that, there is already an existing thread (called "EET-compatibilty") in the mod's forum. Look over here: http://forums.blackw...?showtopic=5358

Help us persuade the author to make it work. :shifty:

 

Besides of that, there are no known incompatibilities between the Rjali-mod and any other mod (using BG2EE) until today. At least, no one ever reported a problem in the mod's forum (or elsewhere to my knowledge). Check to forum for the thread "Compatiblity to other mods" - http://forums.blackw...?showtopic=5366

 

But Roxanne could probably be right in that this could be totally different under EET-circumstances. I don't know about that.

 

See ya, Seewead

@Roxanne: Thank you very much for your detailed and convincing explanation of the problem, which even I was able to understand fully now.

 

Oddly enough, this doesn't seem to happen in my games. A couple of times I have played multiple concurrent romances, especially one of the vanilla women (Viconia, Jaheira, Aerie, Neera) combined with an other romance mod at the same time. "Off the top of my head" I can recall a couple of combinated (BG2EE)-runs with one of the various vanilla girls and one of the third-party-mods like IsraBG2, SkieRedone, Branwen, Nalia, Ninde, Imoen, Saerileth, Fade... just to give you some examples. While especially IsraBG2 and Nalia are mentioned by BWS as problematic. Now why did the problem you explained didn't occur then?

 

Could it have something to do with EET, because I used BG2EE only? No probably not. So here is my guess: It must have been the Rjali-Mod, that repaired the problem you described. Well, if that should be the case, there would certainly be good reason for marking the "romance-patch" as "expert" in BWS. Now I understand. :new_thumbs:

 

Though it would still be nice, if BWS would not disallow you to force-install the romance patch (when you know, what you're doing). See my posting above.

 

Thank you very much for your help :) , Seewead

Sure, hope I could help. :new_thumbs:

 

 

As an afterthought, I could give a different view on another topic as well, if you are interested:

 

1.

Roxanne wrote: " 'It is highly recommended that you install the Tweak Anthology Romance Cheats with options multiple romance allowed and nothing kills romance before installing this mod.' This mod however is not compatible with the other mods requested.".

 

Well, I bow to your wellfounded expertise, Roxanne. But I have to admit, that I myself never experienced any problems in that line. On the contrary, it always worked flawlessly for me. As far as I know, the "romance-cheat"-patch, that is included in the Tweaks Anthology, is unchanged for years, maybe even more than a decade, is it not? Though I have never heard of it causing any problems; in all these times I've never seen a bug-report in this regard. And for me personally it never posed any kind of problems, though I used it with nearly all the romance mods you can get in the web. Well, with Sirene as an exception, for example. Maybe Sirene is the cause of the problem?

 

2.

And if I might add this: Since a very short time (don't know the date exactly, must have been in summer this year), the "romance-cheat"-patch is not available via BWS anymore. Or let me be more precise here:

 

a.

First the "romance-cheat"-patch is marked "expert" nowadays.

 

b.
But that didn't seem to be a major problem for me, because I can always "force" BWS to install anyway, can't I? Unfortunately, this is what I found out: Even if you install the "romance-Cheat"-patch ONLY (without any other romance mods or even without any mod whatsovever), you will always get a fatal error from BWS. What a pity. :crying:

 

 

Thanks for your time :cheers: Seewead

Hello -Sogdiane-, Roxanne is right: The Rjali-Mod is definitely incompatible with EET. I can confirm that. Use BG2EE only.

 

Roxanne wrote: "The mod creates (requires massive incompatibilities) that lead to stuttering and make the game unusable.". Well, I can give you a different view on this. At least I can tell you, that I played that mod myself a couple of times and enjoyed it very much. Its version number is 8.5 currently (last time I used it anyway) and it is perfectly stable. I never had any game breaking bug with the Rjali-Mod. In fact, the mod is nearly bug-free and works like a charm. And the Rjali-Mod is (naturally) compatible with all the other (many) romance mods, that are incorporated by the Rjali-Mod. As far as there are some small problems with the other mods, these are fixed by the Rjali-Mod itself. Well, I cannot talk about Sirene and Dace, because I never tried them with the Rjali-Mod.

 

Roxanne wrote: "Based on your report and my own past experience, I feel like removing it from BWS unless somebody has better information.". That I have, better information that is: I successfully used BWS to install the Rjali-Mod twice in 2016 und 2017. Worked without problems. But my last installation was in June this year. And I have read that BWS is not what it was these days - maybe things are different now? Maybe BWS is broken in some way now?

 

Hope it helps, Seewead
