Hello, I've been playing quite a bit of T:P, I have installed all the recommended mods, including the widescreen mod, and only now a problem rose.

I visited Old Mebbeth, the midwife, to sell and identify some items, and after I've done everything, as I try to leave, the game keeps crashing. The stupid part is that I saved the game while in the hut, and I've been using the save for... quite a long time now. Oops.

I find it weird that this is happening only now - the game never crashed when leaving the hut before. And now I'm essentially stuck in a hut with nowhere to go.

Has anyone else ever had anything similar to this? Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this situation?

Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance.

The exact same thing is happening to me. I haven't found a solution yet, although the auto-save from right outside the hut still works. I may have to skip her hut, unfortunately.
could it be something you both buy that causes the crash? try making a list of what you get in the hut and see if you by not getting one item at a time can see which might cause the crash. You can even compare here to see what you have in common and eliminate the rest before you try ;)
My game crashes at exactly the same location. I don't even talk to Mebbeth. Walk in, try to walk out - crash to desktop. I had another save from 1 day of in-game time ago - same thing. Tried reinstalling the game entirely - still crashes from those saves. I could just skip Mebeth but the game also crashes when I try to *enter* some other hut in the Ragpicker's Square. Doesn't look too encouraging for the rest of the game.

However, when I reinstalled the game and started a new life and ran to the Mebbeth Hut as quickly as possible - no crashes.

Would be nice If anybody had an idea of why this happens and how to avoid it. Right now I'm reluctant to start a new playthrough hoping it won't crash in an important moment.
I've found a solution for my situation. Can't post links at the moment so will have to explain with words:

read the thread titled "Cannot Enter Finam's House without Crashing" and follow the links in the post #4. It links to the post #90 in a different thread which links to a fix.

The crash is probably related to the widescreen mod. Unfortunately, you could not simply uninstall it, because the savegames have been modified by the mod, and I don't think the uninstall process will change them back.

First of all, just to be sure, try deleting files in \temp and \cache folders, inside game directory.
Then try to set another resolution for the mod.
If it doesn't solve the issue, read this thread and particularly this post: maybe this fix could help.
Last but not least, someone states that an older version of widescreen mod should not be affected by this bug: you could try reinstalling the game with widescreen mod version 2.20 and check your savegame.

EDIT: Well, seems you've found my old posts while I was writing this. :-)

In my case, it was crashing every time I tried to leave the hut. I wasn't going to start the game over again. I'm having fun with it, but it's not worth hours of my time.

Anyway, I spoke with Mebbeth after reloading the last save (saved just before leaving the hut since I'm having so many crashes on leaving or entering an area) and asked her to heal me.
She healed me and this time when I left, no crash.

Hope that helps some people.

Hi there! Speaking from 2015 here. Don't know if you'll see this but I was so grateful I had to post. I encountered this exact problem whilst playing through it a while ago (can't remember how long ago but it was a while). I occasionally ducked back into it to try and fix the problem every few months in the hope that I'd work it out. Unfortunately I never could.

This left me despairing a little. You see, I'm too young to have played Planescape when it came out but I'm huge into story-rich games. I had to try this as 1) I've become a huge fan of Chris Avellone and this is quite possibly his best work, and 2) some name this as the greatest game ever made simply because of the writing. THAT is a game I HAD to try. However, this bug popped up and, call me fickle if you feel so inclined, but I did not want to have to repeat what I had done to get to that point. So I was left in a awkward position, not willing to start again but neither willing to give up playing altogether.

So, here comes another monthly round of try to fix Planescape. This time I come across this post and see this one guy who tried just a few simple actions and it fixed the bug for him. I don't fully believe it will work but I decide to give it a try and lo and behold! It bloody well worked!

I have no idea whether you spent a lot of time looking for this fix or if you simply got lucky but I'd like to thank you all the same and let you know they you have my immense gratitude. Now, back to playing one of the greatest games ever made!

P.S I immortalised you in my game by naming one of my save files after you (well, kind of).

This method didn't work for me. However, I found an even simpler way to get out: just have the other members of the party attack The Nameless One until he dies, heh. You'll be transported to the Mortuary and won't have to pay for healing.
