When I first entered the Clerk's Ward I visited Finam the Linguist's house because in my adventures I had acquired Finam's Book and thought I might benefit from returning it to him. But I got no useful dialog options from talking to Finam. So, I left and continued to play through the level.
Now I have picked up the dodecahedron and need the Linguist's help. So this is the logical time visit him. But every time I try to enter Finam's house, the game crashes. I'm left back at the Windows desktop, no mouse cursor and Planescape running, but unresponsive. I have to alt-ctrl-del to log out and back in again to kill the game and bring back the cursor.
I've tried reforming my party various times. I've gone off and done some side quests, and saved at other parts of the ward. But still the game crashes when trying to load the interior of Finam's House.
I can load earlier save games, and enter Finam's house. So, as a last resort I could go back to the latest save where I can still do so and play from there. But if I did that I'd be dumping *hours* of play time. I'd really rather not.
I searched the web and found a thread at rpgcodex from August 2012, where user TwinkieGorilla was having the same issue. He had installed the game from discs not from GOG. The problem was solved when a Planescape Torrent modder named Scient had TwinkieGorilla send him his planescape .exe file, patched it for him, then sent it back! This doesn't seem like a solution that will scale well.
I am running on a brand new Asus laptop with a 1.7GHz Core i5 and 6GB of RAM running Windows 8. It's new, but not too fast. Should be fast enough for this, though.
I installed Planescape Torment 2.0 with these mods: Bigg's Widescreen Mod v3.05, Ghostdog's UI Mod v2.2, Ultimate WeiDU Fixpack v413, Qwinn's PS:T Tweak Pack v412.
I have also installed PST on a desktop machine running Windows 7 along with all the same mods above, then copied over my save games. But the exact same crashing behavior happens there, as well.
I don't think I can progress in the game without going into Finam's house to have him translate the dodecahedron. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
