As part of my ongoing project of playing catch up on all the old RPG classics I missed, I have been having quite the good time playing IWD2. It was all working well but I have hit a bug now.

My gang is charged with attacking an orc fortress, which we have nearly completed. However, one of my team is dead and the rest are badly wounded and out of spells and so nothing would suit them better than a nice rest before pushing on with the heroic quest. However, when I rest there are only ever two outcomes (1) the sleep is interrupted by wandering monsters (an occupational hazard for all dungeoneers) or (2) the game crashes.

I've tried backtracking to another map, but this still happens. I also backtracked to the section where you meet the scout who got injured exploring the area previously and ask if I can rest there, but the same result. I even went back to the base camp to rest at the inn and it crashes here too!

As I said, it worked fine up until this point so I am at a loss to think what might be the cause. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, I would be v grateful!

I'm running this on windows 10, if that's a factor.

Have you tried loading an other save? I hope your savegame is not corrupted.

In any other Infinity Engine game I would put that down to the resting movie, but since IWD 2 doesn't have one that's out of the window. It's odd that this only occurs during rest (with no animation movie). Do you have any mods installed?

Thanks for the response both. I have several saves for this party but, through a spot of bad planning on my part, they are all taken around a relatively short time period and they all corrupted in the same way.

The only mods I have installed are a series of portraits which I downloaded. However, I haven't used any of them; all of my team use the built in portraits.
