Ust Natha Freeze

[Archaeolon]

Hello all. I've installed SCSII part way through the SOA part of my game, and the improvement in AI tactics are immediately noticeable. No more just plowing through the mages with my Wizard Slayer.

 

However, I had a problem with the game freezing as soon as I entered Ust Natha, just after the screen had been drawn, but before any actions.This seems to be related to the Smarter Priests component.

 

When I changed this component from option 2 (buff on party sighted) to option 3 (never instantly buff), the area would load, only to crash when I came across the drow priestesses and they cast their varous buffs. Removing smarter priests has solved the problem, but I'm now back to the normal (dumber) priests.

 

There doesn't seem to be a problem with Smarter Mages, as the Beholder and Mind Flayer sections of the Underdark didn't cause any problems.

Okay, no idea offhand... I'm away from home right now so can't test. It must be some funny combination of mods since I know others have gone through that area fine, but that probably doesn't help you! Will check more when I have a chance.
