ok. i just installed TOEE on my sons new computer, including patch 5 final. but when he goes to run it, it freezes up during the initial character creation process (each time when he hit's the "portrait" button. i thought maybe it might be a memory thing since that machine has only 512 (forgot to buy another chip when we got it), so i installed it on my wifes notebook (which has 1 gig-i'll catch #e!! for it tomorrow when she finds out), but the same problem occured. suggestions? ...the rich
Re: Windows Vista OS, Go or No Go You may have some outdated version of portait.mes I guess... I had this while testing KotB, there were lines with two identically numbered columns. I'd try reapplying the portrait pack you are probably using.
I guess it went back to where ever it came from - about 14 threads down in the non-sticked threads of this forum
The thread was originally posted in the wrong place. Moved to the Temple of Elemental Evil forum. Speaking of the original issue: it's not a memory issue (512MB is enough), it's most certainly an issue with portrait packs or portrait.mes. You may want to try reinstalling, following the installation instructions closely. - Agetian
The original release of 5.0.0 had a problem with portraits.mes that caused a crash on portrait selection. Installing 5.0.1 or the Portrait & Voice Packs will fix it.
