[Windows] Game Crashes in "New Game" Screen After Choosing "Create Character"

HaHaCharade

Observed: The following steps cause a game crash.

1) Open Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition (v. 1.4.0)
2) Select New Game
3) Delete One or More of the Pre-Generated Characters
4) Click "Create" in the slot where a Character was Deleted
5) Error Sound and Message Generated ("There was a problem with Icewind Dale...")

Expected: Obviously, no error should be generated. I've reinstalled the game and tried this on a friend's laptop (specs unavailable but was also a Windows machine).

I can't replicate this 100% of the time. Seems to happen most when you play a game, quit out (not all the way) then go in and try this.

I think I found out what was causing this... after the 1.4.0 patch, for whatever reason I had some character files which had no .bio files with them. In any case, you couldn't use these character files any longer and I think they were corrupt, sometimes causing crashes when loading the "New Game" screen. I deleted the messed up character files, and it seems to work now.
