ok, I have done it.....

Stormymystic · 11-04-2004, 01:36 PM

I now own all three NWN

I found the platinum edition, and since I was having trouble with the old one I had.....just bought a new one with all three in it

anyway, I am installing it now, and plan on playing for a bit today, get a good character going, then go online with it

vesselle · 11-04-2004, 01:48 PM

are you going to update it with the new patch?

V***V

Stormymystic · 11-04-2004, 01:52 PM

yep, no doubt about that, that is the only way to play online I think, plus it would help with the bugs and stuff...

YAY another convert! Welcome aboard Stormy!

Best bet is to update to 1.64 and also download the CEP. The CEP won't affect your singleplayer game but is needed for alot of the online games. Make sure you come and visit us in Undermountain!

Let me know if you have any problems getting online.

well, there is still a problem, so apperently it was not the other game, but something in my computer. it used to load just fine, play just fine, and basicly no problems what so ever. now it lags really bad, and takes 5 minutes for the dialogs to get over with

so I wasted my money trying to get this game, and will have to wait until I can figure out what is happening.

run a system check.
~make sure your OS is up to date
~upgrade to DX 9.0c if you haven't
~clean up your disk and system files
~defrag your drive
~run spybot and ad-aware (new version required, updating won't work on the old version)
~update all your drivers

i know it's all the basics, but you gotta rule out the basics before you can start identifying the source of your troubles.

Other things to check:

*Make sure no other program runs in the background.
*Change the graphics setting to lower quality and see if the performance improve.

Where in he game are you?

Stormymystic · 11-04-2004, 04:21 PM

I pretty much do this stuff on a weekly basis, so it is still a no go

ok, it was the driver for the graphics card, I just installed it, and it runs fine now
