    [​IMG] Ok i hat a computer crash and i hat to reinstall everything. So after i reinstalled BG2 the patches and mods i restarted with my Archer. He quickly started doing things when they where not needed..or he did those things at the wrong time.(Which got him killed quit a few times already :( )

    He Keeps switching to his melee weapon(Shortsword/longsword) when it isn't needed. Like a werewolf rushes in and is so close that it is practicly chewing on my protagonists face..and what dose my Archer do..he uses his bow. After he kills it he turns and then although the other party members are fighting lets say 10 meters or so away from him, he switches to his melee weapon and charges in? :confused:

    At other times my party is just walking around in Athkatla and nothing is happening and my Archer suddenly switches to his melee/ranged weapon for no apparent reason? He's weapon skills

    1 pip in Short sword
    1 in Long swords
    1 in single weapon style
    3 in longbows

    Considering that his longbow skill is better in all matters he shouldn't switch to his short sword to attack while he is still very far away from the enemy. He has a Composite Longbow +1 and for melee a short sword +1. When i was playing with my previous Archer he didn't do things like this, so i am very curious as to what could be wrong here(If anything is wrong that is? )

    As always i also use the universal script but with my previous Archer nothing strange like this happened? At first i thought it was the universal script, but even when using standard game scripts it happens?

    I see nothing obvious in your WeiDuU log, it does sound like a script problem though.

    Have you tried switching to Custom (default) or None? Are you still experiencing the problems there. Likewise, try turning AI off (little button bottom-right of the screen), does that help?

    Personally, I never use scripts, so that's about all the help I can offer.

    Good luck.

    Well i tried all the things you mentioned, and only with the AI turned of it doesn't seem to happen. But turning the AI of nullifies the Universal script so that isn't an option for me. All other methods seem to cause the same results as with the universal script.

    It's pretty annoying thing so i think i'll try to start a new game again and if that doesn't solve it, then i will try my backup character that i actualy wanted to do first,(But didn't because i wanted to play an Archer. :D ) And see if something weird like this happens again..if so then *sigh* it is of to reinstallment.

    Thanks for the advice Boy at a busstop.

    EDIT: Ok i tried with a new game to see wether that would solve that weird behavior of my Archer..but it didn't solve it. :( So i started with my backup plan and started playing with a Skald.
