this is in BG 2 for the mac..

I have always been a fan of this, but my new machine is a macbook, so
got the mac version of this on throne of bhaal and installed them...

unfortunately i cant get very far... the game will not save at all..
autosave, quicksaves, normal saves none work...

at work so havent installed a patch yet but the latest doesnt seem to
to cover this issue...

thanks

I can also see that a folder is created in the save folder, within are
the bmps for the game and the characters, but thats it

I've had that happen using ToB on the Mac. It seems to have something
to do with permissions problems. MacPlay says to delete and recreate
the 'temp' directory. This will crash the game if you do it while the
game is running.

I've had mixed luck resetting the permissions (single click on the BG
directory, type command-i, goto the ownership & permissions, change
'other' to read and write and click apply to enclosed items). This
sometimes works even while the game is running.

Strangly, the problem went away about 1/4 into the game and never came
back.

If this happens again delete the PPDOLL??.BMP files from the 'temp'
directory. You can do this safely while the game is running.
