| | | Problem with resting
Hi,
Well, I'm kind of stuck... Each time I try to rest (in an inn or somewhere outside) the game freezes. I installed the latest patch, but it still doesn't work. So if someone has an idea, it would really help me out. I mean it was fun to travel through the Underdark and its 3 dungeons without taking a single nap, but I have the feeling that I'm going to need to use spells eventually... |

| | | Maybe you are about to have a dream/cutscene/romance thingy and the game can't cope with that?

| | | Yup, I thought about that too, especially cause it's been a long time since I didn't have any of these. But that still leaves me pretty much screwed, as I don't have any clue about what to do to solve this... |

| | | That's what I did. The game still freezes - and good; there's nothing to do but to restart the PC with the reboot button. I guess something interferes with the next dream/cutscene, but I've no idea what... |

| | | It could be possible the "resting-cinematic" is damaged and causes the crash...
You could try disabling the cinematics or see if the game crashes if you run the cinematic from the main menu, but I think reinstalling would be the best solution. |

| | | As I said, I just reinstalled the game, and the result was the same. Disabling the cinematics may solve the problem (although I don't know how there could possibly be a problem, since I reinstalled the whole thing today), but I looked everywhere in the Config program without finding the option... |

| | | Well, I don't know what else I could try... A shame, I really loved this game |

| | | Before you reinstalled, did you do a search of your registry for all mentions of "Baldur" in order to delete them?

| | | No I didn't. I figured the uninstall program would do things right. Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a try. |

| | | Be sure you back up your registry, before changes.

| | | Ok, I deleted the old "baldur"-keys in the registry and reinstalled, but it's still not working. If there is a way to deactivate the cutscenes, perhaps that could fix things, but I didn't see where one could do that. Otherwise, looks like there is no other options than to return to the real world... |

| | | The only other thing I can think of is posting your question in Bioware's tech forum.

| | | I tinkered a bit with my party composition, and I found out that Keldorn was the one that caused the problem. The crash occurs only when he's with me; besides him, I have Minsc, Aerie, Jaheira and Jan. And I have no idea why having Keldorn messes everything up. So, again, any input on this would be greatly appreciated, since I'd like to keep my Carsomyr-wielder... |

| | | It sounds like data corruption. You could always leave him out of your party, exit the area, return, add him once more, and see if it occurs again.
