[Release] Beregost Crash Fixer 1.9

[szaqyt]

wow Ascension64, you truly are great!   like folks said before me - you saved me a lot time and brought back the pleasure of playing. tnx!!  

[john_713]

This didnt work for me

I cant see how to pm a file on here but i will send my saves if you can provide you email? Thank you for any help you can give.

If it helps at all, it used to crash about 1/3 through the loading screen, with the bars having moved 1/3 up the skull. It now crashes right at the beginning without them having moved at all on both saves.

[Ascension64]

A new flavour of Beregost corruption in the saved game (based on some custom output for the Beregost Crash Fixer):

Reading entry: FW3300.ARE (file name length: 11; uncompressed size: 100332; compressed size: 11918)
Actual uncompressed size: 100264

If the utility isn't working, try to decompress and recompress your BALDUR.SAV file in NearInfinity. That should fix things if there is a mismatch in uncompressed size.

EDIT: Actually, that isn't it, so I don't really know what's wrong with the saved game.

[john_713]

You are a god among men! Thank you so much <3

[Blackhorse]

Well, it doesn't work for me.. I only have a quicksave and, like expected, it crashes at 1/3 of the loading process. I've tried unzipping everything in the crashfixer and moving it all to the bg Tutu directory and still nothing. This is my first time playing bg1, so I'm not really used to all this stuff.

I have uploaded my savegame: http://www.gratisupload.dk/show.php?fileId=10246

I'm using easytutu in a seperate folder from the original, if that can be of any help...

Thanks in advance ^_^

Btw, why is there a file called Quick-SaveBALDUR.BAK in my save folder? I think the Beregostfixer created this..?

[Ascension64]

Hmm, your link is giving me the following error:

Code: [Select]

Warning: require_once(includes.inc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mounted-storage/home90c/sub008/sc34990-CWHV/gratisupload.dk/show.php on line 2

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes.inc.php' (include_path='/mounted-storage/home51c/sub005/sc34990-CWHV/includes/gratisupload.dk/') in /mounted-storage/home90c/sub008/sc34990-CWHV/gratisupload.dk/show.php on line 2
The BAK file is supposed to be a backup made by the fixer. I'll have a look why the path isn't correct.

[Ascension64]

New version released. This update will fix the problems with the utility 'not working' (i.e. saved games that get corrupted due to a compression problem rather than corrupted area data)

Changes:
- corrected output of BALDUR.BAK
- now reconstructs BALDUR.SAV
- prompt before overwriting an already existing backup

[Kristal]

Well, I tried it, but it does not fix my problem. Whenever I enter Beregost, my game crashes while the area is being loaded. I cannot move to the area using the console either. The same thing happens.

I had the classic Beregost bug before with just a SOA tutu install, but now that I have TOB on as well, it is worse. I guess there is nothing to do but to install the whole thing again and hope for better luck...

[Ascension64]

Can you reach Beregost via console in a new game rather than a saved game? If not, then there might be something wrong with the original file, which may need a re-install as you say.

[Kristal]

That was starting from a new game. I reinstalled everything using SOA tutu again, and it works fine now. I also took the full install of SOA rather than just recommended. It chews up a lot of space, though. I wonder if it is ok to uninstall SOA when the conversion is done?

[Macready]

Hello -

I wonder if it is ok to uninstall SOA when the conversion is done?

If you used EasyTutu, yes.  If bg1tutu, no.

[al the dumb]

I get into the Beregost field, see it for a second, then the game goes CTD, leaving a black field and windows tells me that it is no longer running. I tried this fix, it tells me the save is alright. Are ther any other things that might be wrong? Multiplayer game. Can I mail or PM someone my savegame?

Thanks, Al

[Ascension64]

Is this the first time you tried to enter Beregost in your current installation? If so, then this utility won't help you and some mod is corrupting your Beregost area. What are the textual contents of your WeiDU.log?

No, I'm hours into the game, finished Nashkell, sold my first scalps etc.

Thanks for the quick response, Al

[Ascension64]

OK, I had a look at your saved game and it seems there aren't any problems with the area itself. Also, the fact that you can see Beregost moments before the game crashes means that something other than area corruption is stopping your progress. That doesn't help all that much, since there are still a wide range of possibilities of what is happening. But certainly, Beregost Crash Fixer can't help you.

To keep things simples, I would suggest finding ways to avoid the crashes from happening (and if you can find a pattern to the crashing that certainly helps), keep multiple saves (like you seem to already do), and avoid saving inside Beregost.

Sorry I can't help more than that.

[al the dumb]

Thanks for all the help. I'll see what I can do and if anything helps... I'll let you know if you want.

Thanks again and take care, Al

If you'd like to translate this utility into another language, please have a read of http://www.shsforums.net/index.php?s=&showtopic=24121&view=findpost&p=435330.

[Ascension64]

New version. to support other languages, adds Russian language, and menu shortcuts. No functional changes.

[Ascension64]

Version 1.5 released that contains Simplified Chinese translation.

[Drizzle]

Seems all I do on IE forums is beg for help, so sorry about this.

My savegame's been afflicted with what behaves very much like a classic Beregost bug crash (ctd 1/3 through the loading) but it's apparently not the standard issue since the Crash Fixer doesn't find anything wrong. Since I'd had multiple, succesful visits to Beregost before this problem occurred, and my attempt to enter Beregost on a new character ended with the same crash, I assumed the next step was a full reinstall but no dice. The fresh install is now showing the same issue.

The only port of call I can see now is to start removing mods and see if that helps, but the sheer volume I'd have to wade through is more than I can face immediately after doing a full install with all of theml earlier today. The fact that this problem didn't show when I first started has got me clutching at straws wondering, is there anything else it could possibly be? At this point I'm more than half-tempted to write-off Beregost rather than spend half a day uninstalling mods one-by-one  

[Ascension64]

Since I'd had multiple, succesful visits to Beregost before this problem occurred

Did you modify your installation (install new mods, uninstall others, re-install others) following your last successful visit?

, and my attempt to enter Beregost on a new character ended with the same crash

Was your last successful visit on a pre-existing saved game?

So, what I'm thinking here is that you might have change your installation in some way but then continued an old saved game (which actually has the Beregost area saved inside the saved game). But then perhaps you decided to start a new game, and that's when Beregost area is pulled from the game resources, and some mod you installed/uninstalled in the interim caused some problems.

[Drizzle]

My last succesful visit was on a pre-existing savegame, as were all but one of the failed visits. The one anomalous failure was on a new game with a new character which is what threw me, making me wonder if the area file had perhaps been corrupted in some way. I hadn't installed or uninstalled any mods since my last succesful visit but I can't say for sure that I hadn't re-installed/modified any of them; I'm in the process of trying to check for that now.

Finally, thankyou for your quick and thorough help. I'll keep hammering away at the problem with the pointers you've given me and see if I can make any progress.

[Ascension64]

Yeah, it might be one of the modified mods that could be the problem. Were all the successful and failed (except the anomalous one) visits from the same saved game? If not, it could well be that the saved game got corrupted, which prompted the new game, and then the changes in mods broke Beregost for good. in that case, you could attach the latest saved game in case.

[Drizzle]

Yeah, they were all from the same saved game at various times. I've uploaded the saves here but your help so far has been great and I've dived into IWD to stave off the IE withdrawals so I'm pretty well resigned to the idea that it's doomed 

[Ascension64]

The game seems to load Beregost fine on a vanilla EasyTutu installation, so I'm thinking there is a mod problem. Can I see the textual contents of your WeiDU.log file?
