Hello, I am having problems importing my BG1 save into BG2. I first tried to import it via a character save that was created after I defeated the final boss in BG1 but instead of the 125HP(With Helm) he should of had, I received 81. After reading a few things online I got the general response of importing via save.

So I copied multiple different saves from the BG1 Save folder into the BG2 Save folder. I then started up BG2 and went to New Game and then Import. After selecting saved game, the character appears on the set up screen where I have to choose the new class specifics, appearance and name.

The old appearance from BG1 doesn't seem to carry over but when I finally click continue to the game it crashes with "Runtime Error! abnormal program termination". No matter how many times I try it will not load.

All this is on the original GoG versions of the game as I wanted to complete them both on the original engines first before I continued on to the new editions.

Anyone know why this is happening?

EDIT: Just checked the BG2 Character viewer and it clearly shows the 120HP so it must be BG2 thats causing the error.

Hard to say. You can enable error logging and check baldur.err.
Or you could re-create the charater in shadowkeeper.
