I started playing BG2 two days ago and I see the strangest things:

1. In the two supported modes, the colors/graphics look poor. I have a Voodoo4 4500. Only in 1028x768 do things look good.

2. Sometimes when I pause the game, select a character and give him/her an action and unpause the game, the screen/focus will move above where the action is.

3. When a minimize the game and then restore it, I get an error message about pixel formatting - clicking OK hangs the game.

Other things I miss from Icewind Dale:
a. In map mode, seeing your party moving.
b. Quick rest mode

 

I haven't run across anything of the sort, but this is what I have had happen to me while playing the game.

1) Opening a chest or anything that pops up the contents inside, simply make the noise and I see nothing on my screen.

2) Saving a game, I get a Windows 98 blue screen error and sometimes I can press any key to continue, other times it reboots and deletes my saved game.

3) Black boxes around a character when he moves, although this is very, very rare.

4) System crashes when I quit the game completly, making me reboot. I now minimize my screen, then close it via the X instead.

5) One time Nalia who was casting a fireball, continued to do so and never let off the spell.

My system specs are a P3-450 128megs of ram, voodoo 2 with an ATI Rage Fury 32MB on board and a SBLive.

Wow, do I ever feel lucky! I just got the game recently but I haven't seen one glitch yet. Actually, until I started reading these posts, I had convinced myself that this game simply didn't have very many glitches.... guess I was wrong.

Asking for CD 5 is extremely odd, I've never heard of any game doing that before... best of luck, I hope someone can help. I'm sorry that I can't.

 

I recently noticed that sometimes I will hear characters speak their dialog, at times they will stop during a sentence and at other times after continuing a dialog, they won't speak any more. This is weird to say the least...is this by design or have I set an option incorrectly?

 

A glith I keep running into is when I right click on a certain item such as almost all maces an error message comes up and I have ro reboot.

 

I too, have experienced the freezing and destruction of the realms (PC Lock-up) when trying to ID a mace.

I tried clearing the game cache, even reinstalling. No matter how long I wait after recieving the Mace +1 from a party that attacks me... crash and brun when I right click for ID. I also, have the same problem with some arrows of piercing.

I have found if you take these troubled Items to a shop and have the keep ID them for a fee everthing is fine.

 

And one more issue, after minimizing the game and restoring it, I get the error message: "SetPixelFormat Failed" after I click OK, the game crashes.

Has anyone heard of a patch coming out and if so when? I find it funny that Interplay/BG2 officially supports two modes and my game colors look like only 512 are being used while in 1028x768 mode things look better. But in this mode, the characters are small and you can't appreciate the details.

NeverWinterNights looks good so I hope they get this one right? Anyone else have the Voodoo4 4500 AGP? Any issues with it?
