The game keeps crashing on me after I talk to her. Is there anyway around this?

I'm having exactly the same problem (with Windows 7 64-bit). Has anyone been successful in talking to her?

I'm having same problem. I can sometimes initiate one conversation or inspect one item but it then crashes immediately afterward.

I'm running WinXP and an Nvidia card and have all the fixpacks and UI mods installed (running game at 1920x1200). I've tried turning on the software graphics options in the game menu - same result.

Sometimes my game crashes, but the usual remedy for me is to load up a save, and give my computer juss a little time to 'prepare' itself to effectively play through the spot where it crashed, and once doing so, everything goes smooth. My game rarely crashes, and the 2-3 it has, this has been a most effective remedy.

The game was originally made on CD's, and is now a file that needs no such thing, and perhaps thus the new programming is still 'feeling it's way around,' type of thing.

Of course, everyone's PC is different from eachother's, but I thought I'd share my little remedy for the few times my game has crashed!

Been having this crash as well. Followed the mod install guide, started new game, and *bam* every time, it crashes in this location.

Tried changing graphics settings, turning hardware acceleration off, turning audio acceleration off, D3D wrapper, D3D window program to run the game in a window - nothing fixed anything.

The only thing that I could pin down is that, if you just stand at the start area (the entrance) and don't move, as soon as this NPC walks out of the shadows from behind Yvana, the game crashes every time without fail.

Can anyone else who is crashing here confirm that this happens as well?

*** Addendum ***

I quicksaved here, exited the game, then deleted all the files in the "cache" and "temp" folders, and reloaded the game. No crash. May not work for everyone but it's worth a try.

To Stitched, Hero of the Multiverse:

You sir, are a glorious golden god. Thank you for telling me how to fix this bug. May your family have good fortune for ten thousand generations!

This is due to bug in widescreen mod. See here for manual patch to fix it.

I didn't have any luck with deleting cache or temp files

but the fix linked by scientt worked a treat - note the original post in the link doesn't mention the manual patch is for the torment.exe file - also one of the repliers in that thread said "Replace 80 02 with 80 07 and replace E0 01 with 38 04" for 1280 by 1080 resolutions which worked for me.

Sorry but I don't understand these instructions:

"search: B9 80 02 00 00 F7 F9 89 45 BC 8B 95 D8 FE FF FF 8B 82 F0 00 00 00 99 B9 80 02 00 00

replace:
80 02 00 00 -> 0x0280 -> 640 -> x coord big endian hex
E0 01 00 00 -> 0x01E0 -> 480 -> y coord big endian hex
"
Could somebody figure out what I would need to do if I have a 1920x1200 resolution? Thanks.

Edit: I think that I need to replace
B9 80 02 00 00 F7 F9 89 45 BC 8B 95 D8 FE FF FF 8B 82 F0 00 00 00 99 B9 80 02 00 00

and

It worked! I hope this can help someone else.

Instructions:

Get hexedit
Backup Torment.exe (It's in your Gog Torment Folder)
Open Torment.exe with hexedit

Now you need to find the strings above and replace them with the right versions for your resolution.

80 02 00 00 is 640 converted to hex and stored as a 32 bit integer. 640 converted to hexadecimal is 280. So you can see that the number is actually written backwards. To read it start from 00 00, and then 02 and then 80, so 280. That's called big endian encoding.

So first you need to convert your horizontal resolution to an hexadecimal number. For example, 1920 is 780 in hex, so that becomes 00 00 80 07. And then your vertical resolution. 1200 is 4B0 in hex, so that becomes 00 00 B0 04.

Once you have your horizontal and vertical resolution, open notepad and copy the 4 strings below:

B9 80 02 00 00 F7 F9 89 45 BC 8B 95 D8 FE FF FF 8B 82 F0 00 00 00 99 B9 80 02 00 00
B9 E0 01 00 00 F7 F9 89 45 A0 8B 95 D8 FE FF FF 8B 82 F4 00 00 00 99 B9 E0 01 00 00
B9 80 02 00 00 F7 F9 89 85 68 FF FF FF 8B 55 18 8B 42 04 99 B9 E0 01 00 00
B9 80 02 00 00 F7 F9 89 85 70 FF FF FF 8B 55 18 8B 42 0C 99 B9 E0 01 00 00

Replace 80 02 00 00 anywhere in those strings with your horizontal resolution
Replace E0 01 00 00 anywhere in those strings with your vertical resolution
Now Find the original strings inside Torment.exe with hexedit and replace them with the modified versions.
Don't forget to replace all the numbers. For example, you need to make 2 replacements inside the last line.
Now save Torment.exe over the original Torment.exe.
Play the game!
