Houston we have Achieved Orbit around NWN!

I've got it at 800x600, 16 m... and the thing is still choking. The little hand icon flickers constantly. Can someone tell me what to do? I don't know my PC's specs, but it's a fairly new, expensive computer... I get the feeling it should be running more smoothly.

Doc, do you have other software running in the background, e.g., antivirus software? How's your video card? Have you gone under video options and turned everything down?

My apologies if these are obvious suggestions.

can anyone get it to run with 64mb textures on?? i can't seem to get it to work..crashes left and right..

Not on the p3 800/Riva TNT2 at work no, but at home on my GeForce3 it works spectacularly. I've crashed once at work opening an alchemist lab and never once at home even with all the textures and lighting and shadows and other graphical extras maxed.

I got lucky last night and found a copy at Best Buy.

My system specs:
500mhz PIII,
384mb RAM,
GeForce 256 video card (32 megs DDR)
Aureal Vortec sound card (works fine)
Windoze 98 (I also have 2000, but I boot into 98 for all my game playing)

I let the program pick the graphics settings (800x600) and 32 bit textures. Seems to run fine, all things considered....

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm psyched about this game too. I plan on buying it sometime soon. But...well...I'll put it buntly:
Don't you people have LIVES?!?!
Thank you for your time.

I'm running a PII, 400 MHz, playing in 1024x768 resolution, GeForce 4, and while it's a little slow, it's playing fine.

None of the Voodoo cards are supported, afaik. I believe I read a quote where they said Voodoo 5s might work, but idk.

No, not currently - I died, had not saved recently, and had to respawn.

For 3 years, I have been waiting for this game, watching the buzz, waiting patiently... and now you tell me NOT TO GEEK OUT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

humph.

Ha! This from someone who calls himself HalfElfSorcerer. Dude, this is a D&D board, of course we're going to get excited about this here. If it were a home improvement board, some guy would be going on about his new propane BBQ...

Anyway, I'm a few hours into the SP game, with a Ftr2/Rog2. I'm home sick (no, it's real , not slacking off just due to the game), so I get to play around more than normal for a Thursday. Tried the DM client--it's fun just spawning monsters and letting them go at it (sicked a gold dragon against 14 fire giants--the gold dragon kicked ass!). Now I'm really eager to build my own module and take it for a test run...

Have fun, and see you online...
