Getting stuck during loading in BG:EE

DrZazzerstein

Hello everybody i have a small but irritating issue, when i change map in BG:EE (vanilla version, no mods, with SoD, on PC) the game and my whole pc remain stucks for about 2 minutes, there is a way to fix this? Thanks for the support!

Have you tried running the game using the alternative renderer option? (it's found under the graphics settings)

I tried that but nothing good...

elminster

What are your computers specs? Also do you have your graphics cards latest driver? (from the manufacturers website)

DrZazzerstein

here are my specs: Operating system:
Windows 10 64-bit
Processor: AMD FX 8350
Ram: 8,00 GB
Graphics card: AMD Radeon R380
I have both the latest driver for my graphic card and the latest update for Windows 10

I'm not sure then if there is anything that can be done then to address the problem right now.

I do have some questions that might help narrow down the problem (at least on our end to get it fixed in the 2.4 patch).

Can you attach a save from somewhere where you are getting this problem? (you can put it in a zip file and use the forums attach file feature). The save folder should be My Documents/Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition/Save

(or

My Documents/Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition/SODSave

for Siege of Dragonspear saves)


Can I assume this occurring both when you are traveling to places you have not yet explored and to places you have explored?

So this is occurring when you move between locations on the world map, but not between say an outside area and a house? (so does it occur for instance when you are moving from the outside area of Beregost into a house in Beregost)

(If you own BG2EE) Do you also have this issue there?

DrZazzerstein

Sure, here's my latest save.
You are right, this problem happens both in exlpored and not explored areas, but it happens also when i launch the game (but for less time, let's say about 30~ seconds).
You are right also on your second point, the problem happens when i travel between locations on world map, but when i enter a location on that area (like a house, or a cavern) it works just fine.
I can't say anything for Siege of Dragonspear or BG2EE, i still have to get there

Thanks for the support.

Hmm... I'm not sure if this will make any difference at all. But you had a bunch of spell effects active in that save (hold effects involving what looks like basilisks). Anyways, its possible that (at the very least) this is slowing things down. Do you still get the issue with this save?

DrZazzerstein

Yeah i did fight basilisks a little before, but i tried the save and nothing changed. I don't think that's the problem, i had this issue since the beginning when i coulnd't have many active effect .
But i guess the problem it's on my end, i reinstalled the game and started a new game but i kept getting the same problem, so i tried the game on my old laptop and worked just fine. I guess i'll keep playing on it ^^"

@DrZazzerstein - could there be some background process running on your new machine, buffering any large writes to the graphics chip for some reason? Conceivably a new security feature ... or maybe just something in the settings of the graphics driver.
