Mojo,

just an aside, but your friend is wrong about not needing any further patches for HOW. THere IS a later patch, v1.41 for HOW only.

Also make sure you guys are installing the patches in the proper order. One of the posts seemed to imply that someone had installed the v1.06 IWD patch AFTER HOW had been installed (this is a major no-no).

Cyril's advice about disabling EAX is excellent. If you can spare the space, try doing a FULL install instead of minimum or recommended. Reducing cache size should NOT speed up performance but rather should decrease it. I run with almost 800 megs of cache allocated.

<font color=silver>Thanks for the input, Micah. I was hoping you'd post on this as it's a problem I hadn't encountered before.</font>

Thanks Cyril. LOL I have to admit though that I caught this one by accident as Neverwinter Nights is eating up my gaming time in LARGE doses. [img]smile.gif[/img]
