I'm fighting the 4 balors. whenever one of them is about to die (I cast a spell or hit them enough to kill them) the game crashes. I've managed to kill at most two of them before the game crashes. I'm being careful and doing all of the normal glitch avoidance (not using scather, all graphics on low, etc.) but nothing is working. I'm running 7.6 NC on win. 7, if that helps. Any advice?
Same thing happens to me on my 7.6 and 7.2 NC playthroughs but after reloading a save it didnt happen again. Just to be sure I could get through the fight I was saving every couple of rounds even though its advised against to avoid corrupting saves but all went well for me. If it continues, you may want to try turning all three sounds options down to 0.
I am getting the CTD at the same spot every time in the Balor fight. As soon as the one on the bottom right dies it CTD. v8.0.1. I have had it happen with him and one other left on the map or just him alone.
I feel your pain. That happened to me too when fighting the Balors. You'll just have to keep redoing the combat until you are lucky enough to finish the combat without experiencing a CTD whenever a Balor dies. I had to do the combat about 4 times before I was able to finish the combat without experiencing a CTD. Tip: Make sure that none of your party's characters get dominated (charmed) by a Balor because I had a CTD after one of my characters got dominated by a Balor.
Once my party member that was dominated was no longer, I was able to kill the last Balor without the CTD. So there it is there. It must have something to do with a party member(s) being dominated that causes the crash.
