Thread: Baldur's Gate on vista laptop.

Well that seemed like a good idea, BG 1&2 + expansions for 10 euro, but microsoft doesn't understand I have a computer because I want to use it so it doesn't work. After crash after crash trying to install it and a 30 minute reboot after each completily random faillure it finally got to 100%, but then the piece of crap says the game requires a resolution of 640x480, obviously a vista related issue because it's vista.

help?

Thanks for the info. I don't have Vista so I'll check on-line for it. I've been wanting to play the entire campaign again.

So you're saying Vista won't run on such a low resolution? Or is it that it just picks another issue each time you play?

No matter what resolution I put my desktop on it doesn't get passed screentesting so no full install, a 10 year old computer can do it but because it's vista my laptop can't run 10 year old software. Now I have gotten used to crashes, keyboard-swapping, memory leacks and 30 minute reboots even when not having be used but if it could just do what it is made for it would be great, but sadly I have vista.

If you have both BG1 and BG2, you can use BGTutu or EasyTutu to port the content from BG1 to the BG2 engine. Works like a charm for me.

Everything I've read about Tutu is that while it works great, you WILL have an insurmountable CTD. That's with a pre-vista OS. I can't imagine what Vista will do to it.

Sorry, but, eh...Does anyone know if the XP cap is still in effect under Tutu?

I can't remember if Tutu changes the XP cap itself, but there are a very large number of mods that install along with TuTu, using the 'Weidu' system, and some of them do include an XP cap remover.
