If you are experiencing weirdness where your character is playing multiple ambient animations in rapid succession--making it appear as if your character is "twitchy," or your character seems to teleport everytime you try to walk somewhere, it's not lag. You have a multi-core processor with both cores running the game, which puts the game into overdrive. You need to set your game to only run off of one processor.
from http://nwn.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic=445423&forum=49&sp=60
So to all you guys still haveing the problem, just
change the nwnplayer.ini`s entry:
"Client CPU Affinity=-1" into -> "Client CPU Affinity=0"
you can also set it to: "Client CPU Affinity=1"
doesn`t matter what you choose, the effekt is the same:
Your NWN works nice as it should, if you tab out into
the Windows Taskmanager and look into affinity you`ll
notice that nwnmain.exe will belong to only one of CPU0
or CPU1, depending on what you have entered in the
nwnplayer.ini: "Client CPU Affinity=0" (CPU0) or
"Client CPU Affinity=1" (CPU).

and... what if you don't have a multi-core processor?

Good question. Could it also be a really MODERN processor thing?

Oh.. So thats the reason... Finally. This is one of the things thats been bugging me for a long time..

Unfortunately even if I put "Client CPU Affinity=0" or "Client CPU Affinity=1", it doesn't work well... the lag or "twitch", both in multi and single player mode, still go on.
Probably it's a problem related with new Nvidia Drivers... if I fix it by downloadying old drivers, I'll let you know it. ;)

Just for the case.. Remember to restart NWN after changing them. -.O
Which you probably knew, but just for making sure.

:lol:
Probably I've fixed rightly the Nvidia's settings and now the framerate seems to be acceptable... it still twitches but very rarely...
So, if Ezra wish... Augustus will come back. ;)

And on page 5 of that discussion:
3D settings:
Multi-display/mixed GPU acceleration: single display
Texture Filtering - Trilinear opt: off
Threaded opt: off
Triple Buffering: off
-
change value to -1 if you're on an i7 or quad core. :)
works well for me.
-
-2 also works.

bump for new players.
