Hi all,
So I've been trying to do a quick playthrough of the game in order to do some initial testing of my companion mod. But I've run into a couple instances where the game seems to freeze upon loading certain areas (they aren't MY areas, otherwise I'd ask in that subforum). The first is Redcliffe; the second is Ortan Thaig. The game shows the "Loading" graphic in the corner but it just keeps going. As far as I know, I haven't edited those areas in any way. I have overwritten both Isolde's and Caridin's dialogues, but as far as I know that shouldn't have any effect on the area.
Has anyone else had any problems with (non-edited) areas loading while mod-testing?

Have you made any script changes that could slow down spawning under some circumstances?
I had a similar issue when I made a trivial change to the merchant script (which is normally null) to intercept items added to inventory. The load time for one area increased exponentially (though it did finish eventually).
Another possibility is a script which has an endless loop under some circumstances. IIRC there is a timeout mechanism, but nevertheless the load time could become very large if you're doing that repeatedly. Is your cpu running at 100%?

I don't think I've made any script changes. In fact, as far as I remember, I don't think I've made changes to anything in existing areas except for dialogues, and I'm pretty sure I haven't added scripts to any of those dialogues. I haven't changed the areas, or any creatures, items, or the map. In fact, even when I removed the overwritten dialogue from the override folder, Redcliffe still wouldn't load, and I don't believe I've touched a single (other) thing there. Hmmmm.
But it seems to be consistent. Redcliffe and Ortan Thaig won't load, but other places (the forest, Orzammar, etc.) will. I guess I should check all areas on the map to see if anything else won't load.
EDIT: Just checked, and CPU usage does indeed seem to be at 100% when that is happening.
