    I bought the GoG version yesterday and installed the Co8 6.1.0 mod pack

    My problem is the mouse freezes up after 2 seconds on the main menu page of the game once it gets past the intialization

    but if i choose the basic game it plays just fine...

    i'm running windows 7 64


    I've completely turned off comodo
    turned off adaware
    turned off avg


    fresh installed at least 10 times...even redownloading the game and mod

    checked and double checked that i was installing into into the right folder

    i have the intro turned off

    i run as admin

    the mod pack successfully activated

    i've spent the last 3 hours scouring the web and these forums for this problem...and nothing suggested in the stickies so far seems to fix my problem....please halp! My friend raves about this game and i would like to play it!


    :dead: :tears:

    I finally found a solution that hopefully is added to the sticky



    http://www.co8.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7834

    it required me to manually change my resolution in the cfg file to my native screen resolution


    worked like a charm...thanks to mwnn <3

    Change the resolution in the front end, that worked for me.
    I chose 1024 X 768 and it worked for me.

    Running Win 7, no Win 7 issues that Im aware of but the mouse freezes when i am still within the main menu....so "new game"----> "normal"----> then at "alignment" it will freeze

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Change the resolution before you get to that screen, here's a picture of the options. It's the first option listed in the drop down menu for the front end.

    The Keep on the Borderlands front End does not have the option to save those settings, is there a way to access the KotB from the TOEE C8 front end?

    Yes. If you have installed the Co8 mod most recently, you will have installed the most recent front end. If you haven't, download and install it and it will override the older front end used by KotB. Then launch it and select the KotB module, and while you're at it, set the game resolution.

    However, this doesn't sound like a monitor resolution issue to me if it's happening at some random stage of character creation. I'd try reactivating the KotB module.

    Ah, this later on whilst creating characters.
    Well go with gaears suggestion and deactivate/reactivate KOTB.
    Does it work when you play TOEE mod ?
