Anyone have any luck getting NWN to run under Win98 with a voodoo5 5500???

I've get plenty of ram (512 megs) and processor is plenty fast but I can't select any other gender beside male or any race beside human.

*sigh*

Hmmm.... not sure about it working on a Voodoo card. Also, make sure you have the latest version of win98, to be sure it can properly utilise your RAM. Early versions could not utilize more than 256 properly, and in some cases having more would actually degrade performance.

According to infogrames tech support, it WON'T run on a voodoo5 card or anything voodoo card for that matter. The voodoo cards (even the NEWEST ones) are NOT opengl 1.2 compliant. :(

I found a work around for the broken Animal Companion summmon icon in the radial menue. I cannot summon him from the radial, but if I right click a quick slot and put the summon animal companion Icon there, it works.....so in short...radial menu NO, Quick slot..YES!

Workaround for the voodoo 5:

This won't solve ALL the problems (like opening movies NOT playing) but it did solve a BUNCH of problems.

Go to your nwn.ini file
Scroll down until you find a line that says:

Enable HardwareMouse=1

Change this to

Enable HardwareMouse=0

Save the .ini file. VOILA!!! The disappearing mouse icon now reappears and you should be able to create a character and play. [img]smile.gif[/img]

hehe...one thing that happened to me which was not a bug but was very annoying...

I got a little to close to a door that was permanently locked and i spun the camera around 180 degrees zoomed out so i was obscured by the building...when i spun back i was inside the locked door and i couldnt get back out and their was nothing back there...i had to reload!

I have a problem with my logitech optical mouse. The scroll wheel does not function in the game when I scroll. If I click the scroll wheel down to move the camera, the NWN session minimizes. I've not seen a solution for this anywhere. Is anyone else experiencing it?

I even updated my logitech drivers and still get the issue.

Just bumping this up.

I don't know whether this is a bug but sometimes when I'm playing the game, the computer will suddenly reboot itself.

I got the same problem too with morrowind. strange though it never happen to me on other games, only these two I see.

There are a special patch for the Logitech mice on Logitechs homepage. Download it, zip it up and run it. After that it should work out some flaws with the scroll wheel in games.

Oki, I can´t find it now since they have changed their webpage.. :S

Haha found it! :D

It should lead to a webapge with a registry patch for mice and gamers! :D
Mouse Registry File for GAMERS, is the name for it. Look for it under any downloadable mice drivers! :D
