When I built my 939 Athlon 64 system in the Springf of 2006 I installed an X800 GTO video card. I then decided after 2+ years of NWN 1 hiatus to reinstall NWN1 last October. I installed cleanly but just before I got to the loading screen, where you begin to make your character, I was booted out with an error message. I tried several times but continued to be booted out.

So I went to BioWare and it seems that the X800 series cards don't play fair with this game. Why the 800 series is anybody's guess. Even ATI lists it as having issues. It must be the architecture.

Anyway, I did another clean install but received the same issue. So I uninstalled the game and waited for several Catalyst Driver updates. Before I attmpt a new driver update does anybody here run NWN1 (not 2) with an 800 series card? Any issues? How is the new Catalyst driver? Thanks.
