Where did you install the game? Did you run the installer as admin?

I have the game running on mine. Installed game as admin, widescreen mod, gui mod, Unfinished Business mod, fixpack, and tweak mod all installed as admin as well. Game is set to run as admin on the Compatibility tab. Game is installed on my E drive. (location is E:\Planescape Torment)

My rig:

Win7 Professional 64 bit
Core i7 920 CPU
nVidia GTX 560 Ti.

it's a problem with the widescreen mod. the solution is the hack and modify your torment.exe with an hex editor. the link above should give you the proper instructions

thanks for the trick, i am now struggling to edit the .exe (not enough hex knowledge).

i managed to change the hex values (using ghex) but i must have done smth wrong for the .exe failed to run :(

The problem was introduced into the last few versions of the widescreen mod, I couldn't get any of the fixes to work either so I dug out my old version (2.20) and all the loading crashes have gone.

Move your current saves out of the Torment folder and reinstall everything with the exact same options as before but use the old widescreen mod in place of the new one. Copy your saves back into the folder and everything should be fine.

If you can't find version 2.20 online let me know your email and I'll send it over.

You don't need to manually patch it anymore. Awhile ago I coded a smaller CLI tool to automate process. It is in that crash thread if you read through until the end.

This doesn't work for me, says "patch failed". Running from PS:T directory.

Be sure to right click on the patch executable and select "Run as Administrator".

Please be still active in these forums :(( I've tried EVERYTHING I could possibly find on the internet. Nothing helped and it is definitely the widescreen mod causing me troubles because without it everythings works like a charm.

So this is my final try. If anyone still has the old version (2.20) please upload it where I can download it. And if that doesn't resolve my issue I got to stick with Torments native resolution :((

For anyone who is interested in testing this, here is patch data. I would really appreciate feedback of anyone using WS mod that is having game crashing a lot. Let me know if you need assistance applying it (you'll need hex editor and basic understanding of hex).

replace:
80 02 00 00 -> 0x0280 -> 640 -> x coord big endian hex
E0 01 00 00 -> 0x01E0 -> 480 -> y coord big endian hex
what you need to find out is the x and y for your screen resolution. i.e. 1920x1080
open up the windows calculator, under view change it to programmer
under the [hex, dec, oct, bin] select dec. type in 1080, then switch the dec to hex and you have the number you need.
in this case its 438.
that'd be 0x0438 -> 38 04 00 00
and the 38 04 00 00 is what you need to replace your y coordinates with. do the same for x coordinate
