THIS UPDATE IS OLD, AND NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
THERE IS INSTEAD A COMPLETELY NEW VERSION 3 OF THIS GAME AVAILABLE.
PLEASE CHECK THE GAME PROJECT PAGE FOR THE DOWNLOAD LINKS.



BAM! This game has been FIX'D!
Before I give you guys the link to the patch however, you need to prepare your game folder.

First things first: the game will not run if the path to its folder is too long. I can't be bothered to figure out how long is too long, but suffice to say I had to change the name of folder to the game files... and now so do you.

1. Browse to your game folder.
2. Go to App.
3. Rename Baldurs Gate - The Original Saga to BGtOS. Capitalization is important!!

At this point, you are done preparing!
Download the patch here - overwrite everything. Please note this will overwrite your Baldur.ini file.

If at some later time, you'd like to change the default location of the game files (BGtOS), you can do so with the Baldur's Gate - The Original Saga Portable.ini file. You can change several folders and settings in there as well.

If you ever get an error message when starting the game (after the intro videos), move the game to the root of your drive and try again. If you do not get an error, that means the path to your game was too long.

Have fun!
As always, I encourage bug reports!
Keep them as detailed as possible, thanks!

EDIT: The launcher will create two files in the root of your drive; Baldurs Gate - The Original Saga Portable.ico and Baldurs Gate - The Original Saga Portable.nsi. To fix this, open the Baldurs Gate - The Original Saga Portable.ini file and find the line that says ;ExtractSources=TRUE. Remove the semicolon, and change true to false (capitalization doesn't matter). You can safely delete those two files.

I'm confident that the bugs should be gone now with this patch. As always, post in the comments if you get errors or have problems.

Changes:

• The launcher will replace all old directory paths in the registry file, with the current directory. From what I could gather, this wasn't what was causing the errors and crashes, but it was a thing I've been meaning to do.
• The source of the crashes and assertion errors was the baldur.ini file. It has the locations of critical files for the game, and now the launcher will edit this file to point to the correct folders.
• There is now a "path.txt" in the data directory that contains the last directory the launcher was run from. It is used to update the registry and baldur.ini files. Do not edit this file unless you know what you are doing.
• I've updated my portable template to the latest version (2.6.4) from Loncarek's site. I couldn't find a change log, but it seems as if the registry file is handled better now.
• Dynamic updating of registry files should make its way to my other releases, and certainly to all futures ones.

Download the patch here. Extract and overwrite everything.
This will overwrite your baldur.ini file, so you might want to back that up beforehand.

Download, and extract to your portable Fallout Tactics folder. Overwrite everything.

Fallout 2 should be fixed!

The Restoration Project mod was crashing everyone's game, so I had to remove it. The High Resolution patch is reported to give people problems with unsupported monitor resolutions, so I've included it as a separate download in the torrent to avoid any other possible crashes.

Head over to the Project Page to download if you haven't already!

Download the .7z file, the only thing you need from it is the .reg file.
Replace the old one (found in the /data folder) with this new one.

That's it!

Post to let me know if everything is fine now, if you're having trouble, etc.
