Vid Card problem? - Page 2

First revert back to a non beta NWN version. Otherwise, it might be your antivirus. Disable it.
And finally if those options don't work, do what Chewbacca suggested.

Went to the NWN patch page (I have 1.65) and got the hotfix for SoU 1.65 since the symptoms sound similar, despite not occuring in chapter 2 (they screw my game up in chapter 1 of SoU and online) *shrugs* I'll give it a try and see if it fixes anything.

Hope if fixes everything. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Besides the AV, Chewbacca may be right. You are playing on GeForce TI you say? The latest drivers available are optimized for newer cards... so perhaps that could be causing the problem. [img]smile.gif[/img]

ah, perhaps I should dig out my driver disk then... if the current fix doesn't work that is.

Chewbacca · 06-07-2005, 04:23 PM

If you can't find your disk, Nvidia lists all the old drivers somewhere on their site. BTW I had to rollback with a Gforce 3 ti200 card.

Good luck!

Edd_y · 06-07-2005, 05:55 PM

Did anything help you out or are you still unable to play?

I have had a very similar experiance to Morgruat this last week. I tried all the suggestion above and more, finnaly I went to the latest update (1.65 to 1.66) and everything now works. But it means I can not join in the undermountin mod IIRC or has that been changed?

Morgeruat · 06-22-2005, 08:36 AM

I went back to the drivers on the disk that came with the card. It wasn't my antivirus (thankfully, although I didn't expect it to be since I never had any problems with my antivirus or firewall before).

Using the old drivers cleared up most of the problems from what I could tell. I haven't done a whole lot of playing, but aside from the computer acting a little "funny" after shutting down NWN things have been fine. I did play long enough to get to the point where the game would have gone nuts, and it didn't, so I'm a happy morgie. [img]smile.gif[/img]
