Hey, I never played this game when it was first out, but because it's so much like BG I thought I'd give it ago.

The game seems to be... doing something weird, characters do not go under anything, and it looks like they are always the top layer of the map, I assume this isn't meant to happen, and I've been playing a while and only just noticed now, I swear it wasn't happening before.

I used that patcher at SHS to fix a crash caused by the exe not having correct resolution, could this somehow by the cause?

Found it it's the patch here that causes this issue, but without this patch my game now crashes A LOT when I transition to a building, it's quite annoying :-/

What hardware are you playing this on? And are you using the latest drivers?

Windows 8
i7 2600k
Sli GTX 480
8gig ram
500gig SSD

It was definitely the patch that caused it, I just removed it and deal with the crashes that happen every now and then.

Would you mind applying the patch again and see if it still does it? I'd just like to rule out whether this is just a case of entering in different values to patcher than what widescreen resolution uses. Probably not the case but the problem description would fit this. If it still does it, would you upload both the pre-patched exe and SETUP-WIDESCREEN.DEBUG someplace and send me a PM. Then I can check whether it was an issue with my patcher putting incorrect values. If that's not the case, then maybe RudyRoughknight (posted in yvana art gallery crash thread) and you can try to find some commonality that is causing it. This issue seems rare and only cropped up recently, maybe issue with win8 or some driver changes?
