[Windows Tablet] Level up causes crash in bgIIEe
In a nutshell: Jaheira gains experience to level up at some point during the breakout from irenicus prison. Click on "record", click on "level up" aaaand crash. Every single time. both with imported character and freshly created one. You can try any of these saves, they all end in a crash when i try to level up any character.
my system is a samsung ativ smartpc 500t. 1.8 ghz atom processor, 2gb ram and intel gma 3600 runnimg windows 8/8.1 (i tried both).

Jaheira level-ups may be affected by language settings, to confirm/eliminate this are you using English both for the game and for Windows or do you use another language in one/both?
I'd like to check you have the patch from November installed. There should be a build-date.txt in the game install folder, mine has Thu Nov 21 14:54:23 MST 2013 so assume yours should be the same. If it isn't and you're not sure how to update please advise whether you are using the Beamdog launcher, standalone launcher or Steam.
& could you zip a matched save and crash up please, I think the devs will need them to correspond and at the moment your folder of multiple saves and multiple crashes wouldn't allow them to do so.
Thanks
Some thoughts on what next.
- Have you rebooted since install (i.e. do you reboot often or use sleep / hibernate instead).
- Does a re-install help.
- Do you have another computer you could try it on. Having looked briefly at the 500t it sounds like the Atom processor handles x86 software but there might be all sorts of caveats or considerations there.
Thanks
currently have no alternative to the tablet-pc I'm using as I am deployed overseas. I understand it is not a gaming system, but it plays BGEE very well so I was hoping I could continue the character. I'm thinking it might be one of my drivers doing it, but I can't really say which it might be. thanks for the attempt. I'll keep trying.
no idea how to tell.

I know that the MS Surface Pro is not an officially supported device, but there are a decent amount of us out there using it, so hopefully this issue can get fixed.
Prior to the 1.3 patch, the game ran fine so long as you selected 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings' in the compatibility section of the file properties. With 1.3 though, the game no longer functions. Opening it from the Start Screen or even a desktop short cut never works, and running it directly from the EXE file only seems to work occasionally.
I finished the game with the 1.2 patch after rolling back, but my concern is that whatever was done in 1.3 will end up in an BG2EE patch and IWDEE thus making them unplayable as well.
Thanks!
