jette Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I'm new to the forums, but I've been a silent player since about the time BG2 was released. I tried to find a prior report of this bug, but I didn't, and since your fixpack does address the spell in question, I thought it pertinent to add it here. I've got no modding experience whatsoever, other than using them. If this is entirely my fault, feel free to smack me. Bug type: Fatal Pertains to: Animate Dead (divine spell, cleric, level 3) (arcane spell, level 5) Bug Description: Casting Animate Dead on a character who does not qualify for a Skeleton Warrior triggers a program freeze, which requires the game process be killed. The bug occurs when the spell finishes casting: if the caster summons a Skeleton Warrior, there is no error and the game continues. If the caster is not level 15, the game freezes immediately upon completion of the spell. Technical Details: Operating System: Windows XP SP3, running inside a VirtualBox VM.

This occurred on a solo game I was playing, as a berserker/cleric (I haven't played the game in about 6 months now, so I needed a refresher course). The bug occurred after I dual-classed from level 9 B and had reached level 6, as I was casting Animate Dead for the first time. To rule out the possibility of a fluke, I dragged out the Lua REPL and gave myself a ludicrous amount of experience, which shot me to level 43. I summoned the warrior just fine. I reloaded, this time only giving enough XP to reach level 7 (the next level), and the same bug occurred. I reloaded, leveled to 10 (just enough to get my dual class back), recast; same crash. Finally, I leveled to 15, and got a skeleton warrior with no trouble. I loaded into a different game to test the arcane version, and got identical results: if you get a warrior, no problems; if you don't, game crashes. I also tested it when cast from a scroll: a scroll will always cause a crash, whether the caster is level 1, 15, or 50. This seems logical, since scrolls cast at level 10. As you can see from the log, I have a ton of third-party mods installed. I keep a clean, by-the-book, unpatched copy of BG2 around for purposes like this. I can install the fixpack alone on that copy if you need any further testing. Let me know if there's any information I've forgotten to include. Link to comment
aVENGER_(RR) Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Hi jette, Can you test this on a clean install + fixpack? I'm unable to reproduce the issue locally. Link to comment
Shaitan Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Try to uninstall Valen first and see if that helps. Link to comment
jette Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 I've tried to reproduce it, but I made the rather idiotic error of trying to install the patch before renaming the program folder, which naturally broke everything. I tried to re-create the environment using the old mod log list, but the bug no longer occurs, clean install or otherwise. Sorry for the trouble, you can delete this if you like. Link to comment
