I like many others do Not have the expansion for BG1 but still wanted to enjoy it with the res of BG2. Orignally I installed everything and tried to install the fixpack but the core components always failed. I chose to still play and found my experiance less than stellar, consistent crashes, corrupted saves and eventually cloakwood 2 which would not load under any circumstance.
I found a extremely helpful post on the bugs board from June 12, after doing what it suggested the core components installed without a hitch and I have yet to have a crash or any problem what so ever and most important cloakwood 2 works. So here is that post and hopefully this will help other people that were having the same problem but are to lazy to hit SEARCH!
Hello,
i have some trouble with FP v4 and i don't have TOSC.
In fact, BG1tutu crash to desktop when i load the second map of Cloakwood, and i want to install FPv4 to (maybe) fix this ;o)
Core Component first crash to file _BAYARD.CRE.
Finally, i decide to comment all lines who crashed the Fix Pack v4 install directly in setup-tutufix.tp2... and it work ;o) (maybe this make the game inconsistant but the 2nd cloakwood map don't crash)
I comment the following lines (i launch install, i see error, i comment the line who cause error, etc...)
Line number
65 ~_BAYARD.CRE~ ~override~
75 ~_KING.CRE~ ~override~
77 ~_MARCEL.CRE~ ~override~
79 ~_QUEEN.CRE~ ~override~
274 ~_CHAN07.ITM~ ~override/CHAN07.ITM~
339 COPY_EXISTING ~_BARESH.CRE~ ~override~
340 ~_BARESH2.CRE~ ~override~
464 ~_SKELDED.CRE~ ~override~
465 ~_CORPSE1.CRE~ ~override~
466 ~_CORPSE2.CRE~ ~override~
548 COPY_EXISTING ~_MISC1H.ITM~ ~override~
549 WRITE_ASCII 0x44 "_GBLUN06" // I suppose this line have to be comment if i comment the line before because it's a "block"
Warning : this is only for Core Component ! I don't have problems with other Component (except Journal Component but TOSC is required and i don't have TOSC, so it's normal)

Finally I would like to thank Fladnag for this post as it completely solved any problems I was having with tutu.
