bump!

I assure you I exist!

Didn't we have hidden pouches at one time? It was around the same time we had spell books.

Update: Bought a new card: Geforce GT 610, deleted realtek drivers, downgraded to to June 2010 DX9 and everything is flying!


See you in game!

This person was having the same issues as I am with the same card, gonna see if they are still around.

Cloaks are normally the problem.  The OpenGL NwN uses is not compatible with most modern gfx cards unless you apply a hotfix or disable cloaks and something else.

I had the same problem.

What hot fix?

Give this a try, if it works, great, if it doesn't at least you can rule it out  http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Other.Detail&id=208426&id=1500

Thanks, tried it but it still didn't work.  Thank you for not abandoning me yet!

Can anybody verify that their files are all lowercase, uppercase or a combination thereof?

Have you tried altering the CPU affinity to have it run on a single core?

NWN was released when multiple CPU cores for PCs were unheard of, and they've been known to cause framerate issues in many cases.

Yes, I have tried values of -2 all the way to 31. I have also tried simultaneously changing it from the process manager.

Have you checked sound settings and untagged the shiny water / lava and other settings to test them?

I've disabled sounds, tried every sound setting, slid the sliders all the way to 2D. I have untagged every advanced setting and it still runs like shit.

I am convinced that there is something wrong with the HOTU critical update patch. Or it changes some critical setting for me. It runs like a dream without it, but after its applied NWN slows to a crawl.

Tried installing via gog files and using the critical rebuild and that is failing as before. Nwn will technically run but it is effectively unplayable. Any help?

By "Went to shit" what do you mean? Specifically. Explaining exactly what's going on will help a lot.

I mean the game gets choppy and incredibly slow even in the menu area with the red smoke, the smoke is stuttering which is just a preview for actually getting in game. The game gets unplayable after applying the critical rebuild. Mind you I have my original CDs which updates me to 1.59 with HOTU, maybe thats the problem.  My next step is to download the GOG version and see if that installs correctly.

That failed. :(

Now I'm downloading diamond from GOG.  This is ridiculous!

My next step is downloading all of the critical patches and going from 1.59 to 1.62 to 1.65 to 1.66 to 1.69 >:(

I dont think its specifically windows 8 causing this issue. Nwn runs fine on windows 8 without compatibility mode, and you dont have to mess with the sound either. It should work perfect.

First of all, my number 1 suggestion would be to get the GoG version and plug in your CD key, or request a Multiplayer CD key from GoG. It'll run cleanly and instantly without fiddling.

If you dont wanna spend a couple bucks, your first steps gonna be reinstalling the whole thing- and slowly working up the updates to the rebuild.

Edit: Googling it- Does your new computer happen to have integrated intel graphics?

Using an old ATI Radeon HD 4550, which should be plenty to play this game. Its updated to the latest driver.  The funny thing is I KNOW it works because (being impulsive) I tested out the preludes between each one of the installs this afternoon.  Its only after the 1.69 critical update that everything starts getting choppy. There is something in there that is ruining my install.
