Hi,

Just got the original Icewind Dale and was up till Dragon's Eye having alot of fun.

You see, when I went to use a flaming oil on a troll, my game froze three times. The fourth time I decided to use one of them in a different spot and the game crashed to the desktop with an error:

An Assertion failed in CGameEffect.cpp at line number 18892.

Is there any way to fix this short of reinstalling?

 

First thing, do you have the latest patch installed. Second thing, do you have any mods installed. These are two areas that are often the root of many problems.
Re-installing would be a pain, but you would be able to use your savedgames, though its unlikely a bad install thats the prob.

 

Current IWD patch: Yes
Mod's Installed: Tioma's Ease-of-Use with

1)Bottomless Potion, Scroll and Gem bags
2)Higher stacks (500) for arrows, bolts, etc.
3)Happy Duel-Clasisng
4)Improved Spell learning for mages and bards

I also used DaleKeeper to give my Fighter/Thief a Thief model and my Fighter/Mage a Mage model.

 

Hmm... It is most likely a mod conflict, though I'm not a huge authority on that. Have you tried using something other than oil, like flame arrows, or a two handed axe with fire damage, or spells. If the problem is just with the flaming oil, then it's a missable problem. But if it's with the animation of the troll's death, then the problems bigger. In that case, I'd recomend re-installing without mods and trying it. If it works add mods until the problem recurrs, then your only real choice is to ditch that mod.

 

The problem was just with the flaming oil...and it was Tioma's mod...specifically the 500 stackable part...I have no idea why though.

Now I'm back to "Fill-my-bullet/arrow-using char's-inventory-up-with-bullets/arrows" way of doing things...gosh I hate that...

 

If you think that's annoying now? wait till further in the game, when replacing them gets a wee bit harder. Anyway if it was just with the oil, couldn't you still use the mod, and find a different way of killing the trolls?

 

Aye, but for simplicity's sake I removed the patch for the oil throwing part...and as long as there aren't any more trolls...I am going to reinstall that part. To be honest that alone is a huge help.

 

Do you have the expansion installed? IIRC the ease-of-use mod screws up the game if you don't have the expansion installed.

 

I'm afraid you haven't seen the last of trolls yet. There is another section which has a bunch of the buggers. Sorry.

 

To Elvenblade: No expansion....which would be the reason if it is expansion only.

To Takara: More trolls?!?!!??! Crap....I HATE trolls...
