game crashes when using prison portal Options

[Rion29]

hi there, first I would like to say thanks for doing this mod, I´m looking very much forward to playing it! Actually, I have some problems right now that won´t let me advance. First I can´t find the key to Shar Teels cell. Second, when I am trying to use the portal to the second floor, some kind of "invisible force" pushes me back. I cant use the other portal close to the prison cells behind the starting - room either, it makes my game crash... starts loading, but crashes immediately afterwards, so I´m kinda stuck. Did a fresh and clean installation of everything, soa, tob, tob patch, bladurdash and nej in this order. your help would be very appreciated!

You cannot enter the portal to the second level as it is blocked. The only way is to use the portal in the small room near the cells. However, it seems something went avry in your installation as there should be no problem to use this protal, which transfers your group to the start area of NeJ2.

Unfortunately, I have nothing in mind but reinstallation of the game (fresh, in a new folder). I really hope it will help.

By the way, cannot be that there is a problem with German specific resources?

[Rion29]

yes, could be - is there a way to install in english, maybe a patch or so? thanks for the fast reply by the way.

[Vlad]

I am not sure. Also I have no idea what could be the problem of this crash. So, first of all, please reinstall the game. Then start a new game, and before clicking on that portal for the first time, please make a critical save. Then try to use this portal. Nomally, the first click is a warning suggesting to clean the first level of the dungeon before using the portal. The second click shoud transfer your group somewhere else. If it doesn't work, then we'll need to see what are the resources causing this problem. I'll need you saved game attached to your post to check it in my installation, which is supposed to be exactly the same as yours.

Good luck!

ok, just to be sure - I am doing a full install of both soa and tob, patch it with the 26498 tob - patch, install Bdash 163 and finally all components of NeJ, right? I will try this now, in that order. If it doesnt work I´ll post a savegame. Thanks for your help so far!

[Vlad]

and finally all components of NeJ, right?

NeJ2 v6.9.1 + Patch v6.9.2 (see the pinned topic above)

[Rion29]

runs very smoothly now, thank you! I musta intalled it in an incorrect way the fist time. looks great so far, excellent work!
