Wizardboi Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I installed the v.2 patch and a few others with some help from Eirikthescald but the auto and manual saves are still failing. Any way to correct this so the game can be playable without leaving it on 24-7. Thanks a lot. Link to comment
EiriktheScald Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Well, you really solved it on your own, with a little guidance from Gorylim. Anyway, if you start a brand new game, do you still have a problem saving? It could be that your current game files are corrupted. Link to comment
the bigg Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Wasn't there the problem where {bg2}/temp is a file while it should be a directory? Link to comment
Wizardboi Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 I cleared out the files in all the save folders and the problem still persists. When I installed the baldurdash fix the saves were fine, the crashing was horrendous. Then i uninstalled that fix and both persisted. So I installed the new patch, crashing seems less but the saving is still a problem. Link to comment
Wizardboi Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 i remember something about the temp file back when I had the original version though. I don't think that will help now? Will it? HMMMM. Link to comment
Wizardboi Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 i am doing a fresh install and patch and see if that does it. probably as Eirikthescald suggested corrupt files. I believe that is how I fixed it before. But it is still a pain. Link to comment
devSin Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 There are two issues: the temp directory will be created as a file, and Spotlight can interfere with the method the game uses to copy and delete temporary data when saving. For the first, delete the file named "temp" in the Baldur's Gate II directory and create a new folder named "temp" (both minus quotes, of course). This should affect the most recent versions of SoA and ToB, but if the "temp" folder already exists (and it really is a folder), then you should be fine. For the second, launch System Preferences, select Spotlight, select the Privacy tab, and add the Baldur's Gate II directory to the list (either by clicking the '+' button or dragging the folder from the Finder to the list). This is only an issue if you run the game under Mac OS X 10.4 or later. Corrupted files shouldn't ever be able to cause failures when saving the game. Link to comment
Wizardboi Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 I did a fresh install and the problem persisted. Then I did as devsin said and the saves work now. Thanks to everyone. I can't wait for the next update to come out to correct more bugs and crashes. This is an awesome game and deserves more attention than the developers gave. Link to comment
devSin Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 There will never be another application update (neither for PC nor for the Macintosh version). Link to comment
Guest Josh Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Thank you, I thought I'd never be able to play my most favourite game on my mac Link to comment
