Icewind Dale 2 Fell Wood showstopper

[Guest jumbles]

Hi! I was playing Icewind Dale 2 and got to the Fell Wood bit wherein Dark Treants attack you and must be beaten for a path to open up and allow further progress. With a resolution of 1680x1050 as conferred by your great mod, this sticks the game, as can be seen.

 

 

Reversion to a resolution of 1024x768 fixes the matter.

 

 

And here is a link to a saved game of just before there; I've already whittled the foes from that particular fight down to but two injured, for the sake of convenience. They await at the screen transition to the south-east from there.

 

It's a wonderful mod. Thank you!!! Should this tiny issue be fixed, that would be great.

Not sure if this will help or not, but it's worth trying (I'm too lazy to try myself I don't have IWD2 installed at the moment).

 

Open (from your IWD2 directory) the file widescreen/widescreen.tp2 (using Wordpad); towards the end, replace

ACTION_IF ENGINE_IS ~HoW~ THEN BEGIN

with

ACTION_IF ENGINE_IS ~HoW IWD2" THEN BEGIN

and reinstall Widescreen.

Can you upload that file on a file hosting service that doesn't suck? I recommend http://www.mediafire.com/index.php if you don't know of any.

If I put in:

 

ACTION_IF ENGINE_IS ~HoW IWD2" THEN BEGIN

 

Then setup-widescreen.exe says:

And the following is written to the log:

I don't need a fix myself, as I've gotten past that area by briefly changing to 1024x768 as noted, but when future generations play Icewind Dale 2 they'll probably be using your mod!

OK, I guess I'll have to test this myself.

[Guest jumbles]

Awesome. Thank you!!!!

 

I'll let you know if I ever find any other issues in any of the other Infinity games. Thank you again!!!
