Crash on starting game after patching to 1.2

Mikul_Maviv

I have a laptop with an Intel Atom N280 ( Intel 945 Express graphics ). Before 1.2 the game would launch with the .ini change to OpenGL version 1 (albeit with extremely bad performance) but since patching it crashes on start up.

I don't have any mods installed, and have uninstalled and reinstalled the game (deleting any "leftover" files each time) so it shouldn't be anything not to do with the released game.

And you don't have/never had Ultimate portrait pack installed? (Some people don't think of it when thinking of mods).

I haven't specifically installed anything like that, I did have an XP cap remover on, but I removed it before patching, also I would assume deleting the game directory and the bgee directory in my documents would assure no conflicts with previous stuff.

So your ini still has the opengl 1 setting?

No, When it crashed at first I reinstalled the game and deleted all the games files ( both in "%PROGRAMFILES%\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition" and "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition" ) between uninstalling and reinstalling - it's a completely stock install at the moment.
The "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition" directory now only contains the crash folder (no baldurs.ini there at all)
These is a crash dump file - should I upload it?

I have the same problem...
Game used to run (albeit slowly) before the patch (Intel Graphics FTW!). Now it crashes when I launch the game. I never used any mods. I did only some changes on the ini file to increase the performance on Intel graphics (although I don't remember which ones, window mode was one of them). I tried reinstall the game (I didn't remove all files) and I still get the same problem.
I'm running Windows 7 32bit Intel core i5 and Intel HD Graphics.

I have the same problem.

The game crash every time I launch it.

I'm running Windows 7 on an Alienware M14 (Intel HD graphic + geforce 555M). Whatever graphic card I use, it crash...
Drivers have been updated
Game has been reinstalled entirely (after complete deletion of all directories even in "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition")
No mods installed before...

It worked before patch 1.2 but no more after...
(request opened at beamdog support #5422)

Glad I'm not alone I'm lucky that I have another computer (on which it works fine) but I'd like it to work on my laptop too

Can you keep this thread up to date on support request?

I found a solution for my problem finally...

I was on a 16bits colour settings and put it on 32 bits. I also set the refresh frequency to 60hz instead of 40hz and now the game can be launched.

It doesn't crash anymore.

Dyvim if you were by my side I would hug you.
Game works fine now and the improvement in patch 1.2 is awesome. Game is still slow with too many clouds in screen but compared to before is a serious improvement!
Thanks!
