Hello,

I was recently about 10 hours into a game of BG2 when I was in a particular map (Bodhi's Lair level 1) and my house suffered a power failure. I reloaded BG2 once I had power to find that the auto-save placed only moments prior (BG2 autosaves into and out of Bodhi's lair level 1) was corrupted. I loaded an earlier save and found that I was unable to load the Bodhi's lair level, the game simply crashes.

So... am I basically screwed, is the map corrupted? Will I have to reinstall the game and all my mods?

I'd be happy to provide any specifics anyone asks for.

The area file may be corrupted - try deleting all the files from the BG2 /cache and /temp folders

Bingo, that did it.

Thanks! I was worried that something much more permanent had gotten corrupted. Thanks for your help.

No Problem - enjoy the game :)

I've been enjoying BG2 since 2002 when I bought it in hard copy. The GOG copy is my third, this will be my... erm... 8th play-through? At least. I just love the game.

That being said, I've never had this happen to me until today, and needless to say it was startling.
