    I'm trying to start a game with a game with all 6 character created by me... this requires I start a multiplayer game.

    Whats weird is, I can start a singleplayer game fine, but when I go to start a multiplayer game, at the point where I hit "create game", the game freezes and I have to close it with ctrl+alt+delete.

    This is on Vista 64bit. I try turning off firewall and it makes no difference.

    Anybody have any clue what could cause this???

    I couldn't create a multiplayer game either (which is how I got going on non intended players that I added to parties instead).

    I've heard Vista creates alot of problems. This time I wonder if there is a problem with the BG2 because I use a Mac (no Vista) and it didn't work right for me either.

    Cache size must be set to 300 or higher from the configuration menu for multiplayer games. Check it via configuration.

    I allways increase mine to 1 gb just to be sure. I don't even know if it helps a bit...
