The Big World older saves lagging

15 June 2008 - 03:00 AM

I have a weird issue with BG1 part of the Big World - the longer I play it, the more lagged game becomes. It's not about graphic or my hardware (it's good, even for today and I checked the Illasera fight where everyone was spamming spells and using improved AI - all went smooth). It seems like Baldur.gam in the later saves of BG1 (dunno about BG2, haven't got there yet) causes it to lag, because earlier even the fights with dozens of enemies worked great. I'd be really greateful for any help provided, the project is amazing, other than this thing I spotted no bugs whatsoever! It doesn't even crash randomly with 169 mods installed at once!

And all the lagging stops while game is paused. On every screen, as well game, character sheet, map and inventory. When on loose mouse lags there too, not only characters and map scrolling. It never lags on the load/save or options.

Some creatures not attacking (and few other issues)

This makes me feel like stinky cheater. I don't know what is the cause, but some characters (as far as I noticed - mages) aren't attacking my party. This happened to this fellow assasin before Friendly Arm Inn, this happened to Ogre Mage which appears when the woman dies near the Firewine Bridge and among others, unfortunately, this happens also to Davaeorn. I have mods to make those creatures/fights tougher (Enhanced Creatures, Sword Coast Stratagems) and a few other that should have no effect on the fights. If anyone has an idea, and would need some more information about components installed or something, I'd gladly tell all I know.

Well and I noticed some other not-so-great things happening to my mods. If anyone can help, I'll be graeteful even more!

At first, I paused (hold by mouse) TuTu installation to read what is shown and there were some kind of warnings (though it says it's completed successfully. And it kinda works. But...
There's green water everywhere. I've read that TuTufix should deal with it, and I know that in previous installation (1,5 year ago, so don't ask me what I did differently then, please :D) it all worked fine with basically same mods (have mine listed).

Another thing, most annoying, are lags appearing in some locations like Gnolls Stronghold. It's not about amount of monsters, I've just done Firewine location and it ate dozens of kobolds at once with no problems whatsoever.
Here tough was another case - when I installed the newest version of BG1 NPC project it lagged everywhere. With version 14 (or so) the rest works fine, just a few (important and fun :() lag...

Funny thing is also the iItem mod. I don't get the thing. It was installed fine and worked fine, before I found that new BG1 NPC mod, installed it, and then because of lags I began to experiment and in result game went crazy. So I deleted both BG1 and BGII - SoA folders and copied fresh ones in their place (had stored). Theoretically it all should work fine, neh? I patched anew, did everything same way as before, but iItem mod refused to be installed, Vault installed with warnings and some component about Edwin from other mod also refused to install... No idea.

Here I post the list of mods/patches/fixes I have installed (I did this list for myself last time when it all worked perfectly, I only added Askavar Stone now I think. Could this mess up so many things? :o).
