Random Crashes Options

[Galactygon]

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?

As I said, the fixpack does nothing with animations. You're just getting further off the track from your original guess, which is probably the most likely one based on the symptoms described.

I don't advocate modding with the fixpack btw, or with any mods, as they can introduce false positives. So you can probably stop using it as a scapegoat for this example - unless it's definitively proven to be a culprit with this issue. It's been done to death in other threads anyhow.

One thing that might help, Galactygon, is if you can replicate a crash on a particular creature or animation or even note one that happens with any frequency. And if you get an error message (such as an "Assertion error") it might be worth noting that too. We've had some success pinpointing these types of issues. It could be a defect in the original game, it could be a mod - any mod - but why not find out which before making assumptions without conclusive evidence.
