    [​IMG] I just got Baldur's Gate after falling in love with BG2, and I started a new game. However, I'm currently faceing some odd technical problems. If I try to enter some areas(most of the inns in Beregost, for example), the game just closes down and gives me the following message(this one I got when trying to enter the Burning Wizard Inn):

    "An Assertion failed in D:bad:Dev\Baldur\Infinity.cpp at line number 1692
    Programmer says: Demand for WED file failed"

    Is this a virus or what the heck is going on?

    The good old way to solve problems like this: uninstall then reinstall. And download the patch!

    [​IMG] While this was written especially for IWD, it is valid for your problem as well:

    Q: "DEMAND FOR WED FILE" CRASH: Sometimes while playing Icewind Dale, I receive a dialog box that says, "An assertion failed in Infinity.cpp at line number 1763. Programmer says: Demand for WED file failed." What can I do to prevent this?

    A: This error occurs when the game cannot properly read a data file when loading an area. If you did not install Icewind Dale or Heart of Winter using the "Full" install option, check the bottom of Icewind Dale's disc 2 and the Heart of Winter disc for any scratches, dirt, dust, or fingerprints. Cleaning dirt from the CD may cause the problem to go away. Please be careful when doing this however, and be sure to use a lint-free cloth. If this does not fix the problem, it may be necessary to reinstall the game unfortunately. Uninstall the game with either the shortcut in your Start Menu, or by removing it from Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel. When you uninstall, your save games are not removed.

    [​IMG] Tal to the rescue! My greatest thanks. I'll do it all tomorrow, and just go to sleep now...thanks for that info, I think I've actually had this same thing with Planescape: Torment as well, but I'm not entirely sure.
