So I've been running into a consistent problem whilst trying to replay this game. I was hoping you guys could give me a hand.

After installing the GOG version and installing the mods, I get a message telling me first to change my colour depth to 16 bit. and asking if I want to run it in windowed or fullscreen mode.

Regardless of what I do, (including changing the colour depth) it attempts to load the game and then tells me It cannot run because I am low on disk space.

I have 20 some-odd GB free on my OS drive and 4 TB free on the drive that the game is actually installed on. So it's definitely not a space issue.

After reinstalling it and doing all the mods again, it works great, but only until I restart or shut down my pc. The next time I boot up, I get that same error again. ANyone encountered this as well?

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit

I should also mention that this has occurred even without any mods installed, and even with half the mods installed, so I'm certain it's not a mod issue.

Hoping someone can help.

Take a screeshot of disk space message?

Here's both the 16-bit message and the low disk space message. I tried adjusting my paged pool memory to between 800 and 1000MB since I was told by someone else that the paged pool memory could affect games made that year, but the problem persists.

--edit--
I've since also tried adjusting the config file the way people have done for fallout 1 or 2, but no dice there either.

Are you by chance running the game off of a raid? I have two hard drives in Raid 0 and couldn't run this or Baldur's Gate off of them, so I dragged the folders to another non-raid drive and they ran fine.

I was getting the same errors as you.

Just a guess, but it is possible the game doesn't recognise a GTP formatted disk & so can't see any free space.
I would try installing it on your O/S drive.

And if that doesn't work, as usual, try running in XP compatibility mode. You'll find plenty of references to that around here.

Thanks guys, I'll try running on my OS HDD

I ran into the same problem, and I've been looking into ways around it... one way I found that is a posible fix was to use NTSF symbolic link using this methood:

1. Install the game on your OS HDD to a directory like c:\games\Planescape Torment\
2. Move the folder where you want it, for me that was g:\games\Planescape Torment\
3. Fire up command prompt running as admin. (windows button, type in cmd then rightclick and choose run as administrator.)
4. Write: mklink /j "c:\games\Planescape Torment" "g:\games\Planescape Torment\" (tip: if you type the first letter of the directory you want you can tap TAB to make it autofill the rest.)
5. Start the game normally.

What this does is it makes windows think that g:\games\Planescape Torment\ actually is c:\games\Planescape Torment\ too... so when anything targets the c: drive location it actually opens it from the g: drive. This can be used for alot of things that you want to move to another location yet fool it to think it's still in the original location (programs, other games, even your user folders, but be careful doing that with important system folders).

I had one problem with this and that was that the intro 'movies' lagged for me... I've not tested the preformance of the rest of the game much yet... but figured I'd post this anyways.

I've got exactly the same problem but installing to my O/S HDD is not an option. Are there any alternatives?

Have my system setup with
C drive on SSD - Windows + few other applications
D drive on HDD - Steam, GOG, Music, etc.

Installing on the D drive the first time worked no problem. Fire up game again, got the disk space error.
Reinstalling on the D drive and firing up again did not work.
Reinstalling on the D drive and deleting my saved game DID work.
Reinstalling on the C drive worked, copying save game from original location from D drive to C drive worked.

I think olnorton is on the right track with the GPT vs. MBR discussion. Anybody with a newer HDD that has a partition larger than 2.2TB may hit this issue. Whether this is a defect in the game itself or GOG.com drivers, GOG.com likely needs to address it and see it fixed. I suspect its the game as this only happened for me once I had a saved game to load.

Workaround for most of us would be to install to a partition on a drive less than 2.2TB in size. A quick hack to do this would be to install TrueCrypt and create a TrueCrypt container of sufficient size (say 10GB) and then install to to the drive letter you have the 10GB TrueCrypt volume mounted to. Not elegant, but a lot easier to do for a single game than using something like GParted which would unnecessarily change the entire drive.

That's a really strange issue that bugs me for some years now. I'm playing the game on Vista 64 at the moment. The version from my old discs shows the same error sometimes - I have no idea why, because if I restart Windows, it works again. Really strange.
The GOG-version (bought it in the anniversary sale) works perfectly however.

Check the paths in the [Alias] section of Torment.ini to see if they match the game's actual location. If they don't, fix them to point to the correct folder. (Torment.ini is in the game's main folder.) If you have any mods installed, e.g. the widescreen mod, try reinstalling the game.

my Torment.ini:

---------------------------
However, i must admit I installed it on win XP SP3, i didnot install it on win7 64bit,(so maybe thats causing it?)
cause usally 90% or more also works when its not installed under win7, i just launced it from the e folder , these games are all installed under winXP

Cause installing them again udner win7 would wast double the amount of disk and my disk is getting full, i alread moved 32 GIG of useless things, but some games are so big.

Maybe, but on my PC it seems to be perfectly capable of running even without being properly installed, with the same settings, with no compatibility mode, as long as all its files are intact... which is strange, because this kind of error is known to be fixable by reinstalling the game (unless the cause was a combination of the widescreen mod and a video card not set to support the chosen resolution).

Considering where the game is installed, Win7 and its UAC shouldn't interfere with it; I assume you've probably already tried running it in XP compatibility mode since it works on the actual WinXP. Wiping out the files in the "cache" subfolder can help with some errors, but yours happen before it even starts loading anything (and if there were any corrupted files, it probably would refuse to work on XP just the same, though who knows?). So if it's an OS problem, it may be something that depends on the specific configuration. Curious.
