REINSTALLING WITHOUT A BACKUP1.) Delete the file
weidu.log[/i] from the game's main directory
2.) Delete the entire
override folder from the game's main directory
3.) Install the original game from the manufacturer's CD(s)
4.) Install the official manufacturer expansion (if any)
5.) Install the official patch for the game (make sure you have the correct if you have installed an official expansion)
6.) OPTIONAL: Install the Baldurdash/Dudleyfix (except for Tutu installations)/Restoration unofficial patches
ATTENTION: Skip this step, if you are going to install
G3 BG2 Fixpack at any point in the future.
7.) Run the game's configuration program so that settings can be made to the baldur.ini file
8.) Create a new directory where you have installed the game titled
backup[/i]
9.)
Copy (do not move) the following files to the
backup[/i] directory:
- dialog.tlk
- chitin.key
- baldur.ini
- bgmain.exe/bgmain.exe/idmain.exe/iwd2.exe/torment.exe (depending on the game)**
- the entire override folder (not just the contents--copy the ENTIRE folder
10.) Play the game and install mods, secure in the knowledge that any future glitches can be solved much easier than with a full reinstall
11.)
*optional* - If hard disk space is at a premium for you, you can zip/rar up this backup directory, and even burn it to a CD
**: NB - While not officially endorsed, if you decide to use a no-CD crack, you will need to run it
before you copy the *.exe file into the backup directory.
