Now I realize I'm just screaming into the void here but I'll nonetheless try. I'm encountering an error.
So this is gonna be a bit of a long story, please bear with me. I started playing ToB a few days ago with Ascension 2.0 and Wheels of Prophecy. For some reason the Ascension components weren't working. I thought it was just some minor bugs I could deal with. But then I got to the final chapter and it was just vanilla ToB. I quit the game and decided to check the mod and turns out I had installed WoP but somehow forgot to install Ascension!
So I scrapped that playthrough, uninstalled WoP, installed Ascension, then reinstalled WoP (It won't let me do it any other way), and began a fresh new playthrough of ToB. This time the Ascension components were definitely working - Sarevok upgraded his sword to +4, the Five were stronger and so on. I quickly managed to get to Balthazar in a few hours because I knew where everything was. Here is where the real problem begins.
Normally after you kill or spare Balthazar, you're supposed to get summoned to the pocket plane by Solar who then delivers some more exposition, and then you get to be able to travel to the elven grove to continue the story. I know this because I did this just this afternoon on my original playthrough which I stopped because it didn't have Ascension. But this time around, no matter whether I kill or spare Balthazar, I don't get summoned to the pocket plane by Solar, and manually going to the pocket plane and then clicking on the exit doesn't give me the option to travel to the pocket plane. I'm basically stuck with no way to progress the story further.
Has anyone encountered this before? Any idea what might have caused this, how I can fix it? Any console commands to help me out with this? I don't wanna give up on my character now after going all the way through BG1, SOD and BG2.
Edit : Finally figured it out! My version of Ascension and my version of WoP were clashing. Uninstalled WoP, and voila
if i remember right. with wop you don't get the solar talk until after you get the book off Balthazar then get the confrontation with you know who. then you go back to the grove and deal with her demons.
i always had an issue with this as it breaks the pacing of that section.
I am a new player to BG2 EE and I just tried to extract the Ascension 2.0 zip file to my BG2 EE steamapps/common/BG2EE folder. During the extraction, my McAfee virus protection blocked the extraction because the following virus was detected - JTI/Suspect.196612!3039003F2cca. Has anyone else had this happen? Can someone from the Ascension team please check on this? I downloaded the zip file from GitHub. Thanks.
Yeah, Windows defender is sufficient. MCAfee is basically a virus in itself. I also had it start deleting games off my computer before. Even after whitelisting. And it refused to restore.
If you can afford ESET's products, like smart security or NOD, they are really good. But overpriced imho. I'm currently using Bitdefender free, and am pretty happy with it.
I've used Windows Defender only for the past 5 years on my Windows 8 machine, with occasional manual scan with Malware Bytes. Haven't catch any malware in all this time.

I can't reproduce this, sorry; that component installs fine on my copy of EET. Post your WEIDU.log if you like (at the gibberlings3 forum for preference.)

Yeah it's weird. I uninstalled everything and started anew and it installed fine after a few tries. My install must've borked somehow. Sorry bout the trouble.

A little issue that I noticed a while ago, but only now got to tracking down...
In the "Tougher Abazigal" fight, if you did Dorn's quest and put Abazigal's name in the book, the Planetar of Justice spawns at the entrance to the room, sees no enemies, and doesn't get involved unless you go out of your way to drag enemies over there. Contrast the vanilla EE, in which the planetar spawns in sight of Abazigal and attacks immediately.
Looking at the scripts, the issue is that the trigger condition for spawning the Planetar of Justice is "Abazigal is hostile". In vanilla, that only happens after his dialogue. With Ascension, Abazigal is already hostile when spawned. Either that trigger condition needs to change, or Abazigal needs to be tweaked to start out neutral.
Quick and dirty fix: replaced one line in the area script to check the variable that triggers the cutscene instead of Abazigal's status. Planetar now spawns after the cutscene, and goes to fight the enemies immediately.
(Observed in an Ascension/SCS install. Not the latest versions, but I don't think this has been messed with lately.)
A short guide to installing it on Mac OSX Catalina if using the Beamdog client
1) Download OSX-Ascension
2) Open the Beamdog client on Baldur's Gate 2
3) Click on Options then Open Game location.
4) Move the OSX-Ascension zip to this location.
5) Highlight on any directory in this location
6) Finder-Services-New Terminal at Folder
7) In the newly opened Terminal window type cd ..
8) type chmod u+x setup-ascension and enter
9) type chmod u+x setup-ascension.command and enter
10) Now you can finally type setup-ascension.command in the Terminal window or open it from Finder
I couldn't find a guide for folk like me who haven't played Ascension since we were chatting with Wesley Weimer and David Gaider on alt.games.baldursgate about it! - must be about 15 years!!
