OK, I've re-installed everything including the UK5512 patch, the Baldurdash fix pack 1.1 and TOSC game text update.My recommendation would be to skip that particular set of files. I don't have totsc so it wouldn't be an issue for me either way, but I would skip that 'component' of dudley just to be safe.
Looking at the Dudleyfix area files, I can see where the problem lies. On the original area 0400.sr file, I can see a pale blue line in the NE and SW corners, obviously showing a link to the next area. On the Dudley area 0400.sr file, the pale blue line is missing from the NE corner. Should I go ahead and install the fix pack, minus the ARE, WED and SR filesfor area 0400?
Now I realise that my problem was not with unfinished business at all!
I uninstalled all the BG1/totsc files, planning to do a clean install, but now the computer won't allow me to re-install it. It's giving me the option to uninstall, but won't actually allow me to do this. I have given up on BG1 (for now).So you actually deleted the files- not uninstalled the game... Now to reinstall the game, you actually need to modify your windows register files, to remove the Baldur's Gate Tales of the Sword Coast register entry, so the game can be reinstalled... sorry don't remember how it was done... But we need to know which operation system you have(Windows XP? Vista? ...) Or you could download one of these free register checkers, but I have no good one to recommend, as they might contain viruses.
After spending all morning attempting to fix it, I've decided to start BG2 without any bug fixes or mods. Until it all goes wrong, that is... (sigh)BG2? I thought you were using BG1/ToTSC. There are no farmlands east of Baldur's Gate in BG2 unless you're using BGT or Tutu/EasyTutu in which case you'd be better asking in those forums....
