Ever since I have my used version of Baldur's Gate II, I have been plagued by random crashes in BGII. They are too random to replicate and fix, but they happen pretty often so they are a pain.

Usually they happen when a creature is summoned (especially if you hit the pause key at that moment), but sometimes they just happen. I noticed they happen more often with creatures from mods, and when the override folder has more files.

Is it just me or have other people experienced them as well? Do you think biffing the override folder would help?

Even though it may seem to be random, something regular could surely be observed.

Biffing Override can just improve performance in certain circumstances, though if the problem is somehow related to Override files, it might accidently help, but they are certainly unrelated. (For example, if you have a tis file in your Override folder but not with all the associated files for that area, and its owner bif file isn't in the Cache folder, the game crashes while loading the area that uses the tis.)

Did you test it with a completely new, clean, "unmodded" BG2 installation?

It might have to do with animations (problematic animations are known to cause crashes).
