Jerky movement in BG TUTU

[Guest Salman]

Don't know if this problem is caused by installing mod,but i recently when i asked my party(all of them) to move the game freezes for a few seconds and they end up at the place i asked them to move to,i didn't have this problem earlier but a couple of days i also installed BG npc pack from Gibberlings3,since yesterday however the movement in the game has become jerky,btw i downloaded BG TUTU installer from http://www.usoutpost31.com/easytutu/.

Can anyone tell me whats causing this?

Well, there is at least few things you can try.

 

0) Always patch the game, start a new game and exit after the game has auto-saves itself(so you have to make a char or choose a pre-made one), before you do any moding, and you might as well make a safe backup from the important files: data and override folders, baldur.exe, BGMain.exe, dialog.tlk and CHITIN.key .

1) Turn off the ambient sounds to zero, as some of the areas might have no ambient sounds and so the game tries to start them many time continuously, and so looses processing power.

2) Don't mess with the game configurations so the speed adjustment percentages stay on "normal" ratings even if you have very high end machine, as the game has own it's internal fps counter, it sometimes tries to correct the fps on it's own by lowering graphs etc. Also the games frame rate should be set to about 30, as that's the default.

3) I wouldn't recommend to install any of the speaking item mods, as they fire their comments everywhere, and that's bad.

4) Delete the old files from the Cache folder time to time.

5) Inventory management(no stacks that have more than about 200 items, in a bag, arrows etc.), -might help.

6) Trying to avoid too much effects on a character(about 20 is fine, 200 is too many, and 20 000 is way way too many...)

7) De-fragmenting your hard drive might also help... as you don't have to go find the data in the pieces. (hmm, there is a joke in there, hih)

8) Install the mods in correct order, and make sure you started from a clean install, so there is no leftovers from old mods, by deleting the old mod files, the data and override folders(don't go and overwrite them)

9) It might be a good idea to biff your override folder, but do that knowing that you generally can't change the game much after. Or use the End_biff from here.

@Salman: We are actually asking your WeiDU.log's content, so open it with text editor(notepad), and copy paste the text.
