BG2 Technical help...

LoLth

Sorry for the crosspost, but it is a technical problem as well (maybe)

Ah, bought Baldurs Gate 2 yesterday. Installed it today. Made up my character (dwarven Kensai, going to dual to Monk if I get to it). watched that lovely intro. Started playing and...doh!

If anyone speaks, or if I access the spells quick menu, the game goes loopy. It automatically starts to select-deselect one of the quick weapon boxes repetedly. this makes the pointer on the screen flash between attack and move no-stop. the result is that the game is completely unplayable!!! <sob! so near and yet so far!>

If I enter the inventory or character screen (or any other screen) and go back to the play screen the problem resets itself but reappears as soon as any of the above happen.

System used:
PIII 500
Win 98
64 mb ram
plenty of hd space
3dfx voodoo 1 (latest drivers)
DirectX 7.0

config used.
tried every processor speed option (no joy)
tried every graphic setting (no joy with or without 3d enabled)
I haven't tried touching those BLT(sp?) things (I shouldn't need them if it's running in 2d should I?)

The graphics are displaying fine, it's just this flashy cursor and weapon thing that's annoying me....

Any help?

Definitly sounds like a bug rather than a problem with your machine. Try mailing the BG guys - they seem approachable.

Have you tried the website for patches and bug notices??

I just looked there and I couldn't see any, but that doesn't mean they're not there, it could be that I was looking at the wrong site.?
