Baldurs Gate + Addon + Widescreen-Mod doesn't work!

hKing · March 16, 2009

Hi Guys,

today I wanted to start my Baldurs Gate Pack (5 CDs + Addon-CD in a huge pack) to play this game once again.

And of course, i wanted to play with the widescreen-mod.

So I installed BG1 and the Addon, after that, I applied the original Addon-Patch. After that I tried to install the Widescreen-Mod, but it doesn't finish the installation. After a few secs after install, it says "...game not supported, error creating folder..." (something like that).

So what is wrong here? My CDs were the Original ones from 1999, install of them worked correctly.

Do I need to install BG2 too? (I hope not...)

Can somebody give me an "How-to" of intalling this widescreen-mod ?

Thanks in advance,

hKing

Hi once again, I found an howto in this forum

http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=12988

The problem that I have is that with the movie-biff one. But I already installed the game as a "full install".

So whats the point?

What's the size of your game? It should be about 2.5 GBs, as there is no 'Full install' concept in the BG1&TotSC, just the 'Custom install' that needs to be selected and then tick every component in the selection menus.

Thanks for your reply, my install folder is 2,41 GB big. I made a custom install with all points checked...

Does somebody have a a good idea to get this thing running?

Posting the debug file might help.
