These are the exact same mods and the same version that I had installed on a Windows machine and have been playing for about a year. I transferred the save files from the Windows machine to Linux. The game runs fine and the mods appear to work, but when I try to load one of the save files it freezes. Anything obvious I'm doing wrong?

I don't use Linux, but as I understand it, generalized biffing uses different executables in Windows and Linux to get the same effect, so I'm betting that's where your problem lies... at a guess.

I believe we need a few questions answered before we can help. (I am no Linux expert)

1. What is your distro?
2. How did you install BG2? Did you use the GOG's baldur_s_gate_2_complete_gog_3_23651.sh or did you install a windows installer using WINE?
3. How did you install the mods on Linux?

Just brainstorming. When I installed BGT on Linux Mint, I remember I had to use a command to lowercase every file to make sure some mods work properly.

1. What is your distro?

Ubuntu. Well, Lubuntu.

2. How did you install BG2? Did you use the GOG's baldur_s_gate_2_complete_gog_3_23651.sh or did you install a windows installer using WINE?

I used the shell script.

3. How did you install the mods on Linux?

I used Wine, e.g. "WINEPREFIX=... wine setup-1pp.exe".

The Tweaks Anthology instructions say to install the mod using WeiDU on Linux, which requires running tolower on the entire directory before running "weinstall cdtweaks". Terrible process, but I followed it to the letter.

I also tried copying the Windows setup executable and installing it through Wine like with the rest of the mods and had the same result.
