Okays...
I am on a Pentium 4 processor with a GeForce 6600 graphic card with 2 gig RAM for now...
Everything runs smoothly but not NWN 1.
The problem be that my character twitch when walking and running and there also have some lag trouble even though i for now even run NWN on low graphic settings.
I have also noticed that sometimes Robes and cloaks on my characters and sometime actually the whole character seems to be concealed as it looks by the spell from improved invisibility, sometimes whole robes be missing.
I have checked my graphic card settings, I have updated the driverutines to it and even tried an old one, also made sure no other program be up and running that would disturb NWN.. I can not find out what the problem be here so if anyone can help with that "twitch" and lag or the concealment of clothings and even some looks on weapons i would be most greatfull.
Heard something about a character hak that was to help but could not find or locate such in the NWN vaults, maybe someone of you heard or know of that?
Thanks//Ash

Might be connection issues? Try running a spyware search, clean out your computer of bug, viruses etc. See if it is interfering with your internet connection by hogging the line with spyware. Past that... I have no idea.

Nothing be interfering with my internet connection or anything such.

Thats is a "old model", if you have it for quite a while, let's say, more than 2 or 3 years, you may expect that it has given all it could to run your games swell, but now it is the time for it to rest.
I bought a AGP Radeon HD 3850 512 DDR3, if I remember right. It wasn't that expensive, it indeed gave me some FPS gain, I must say it "lifted" my system up. But still, there is my Athlon XP +3000, nicknamed bottleneck, and my dear pairs of 1GB DDR 400. Been thinking about getting, temporally, a AsRock, as it has support to AGP, DDR2 and dual cores. Maybe extend even further my system until I raise the sum to pwn any Allienware on the market. *Muses*

Even if the computer and the graphic card is 2 years old it have not been even used before, and compared to my old computer that ran NWN smoothly before its RAM did break this computer is far better and both computer and graphic card should be more then enough to run NWN smoothly...
I do think it have something with the graphic settings or maybe CEP to do as some items such as weapons looks odd in colour and as i mentioned when i rotate the camera..in some angels parts of my character looks as it was concealed, that also be on other characters around, the lag i suffered got even worse in closecombat with a few Skelly's.
Again, all help is welcomed and also info on that character hak pack i heard bout.
Thanks again
-
The concealment problem now seems gone after even more work with the settings, though the lag remains and also that twitching the character have when moving, even if he just spins on the spot...
There seems not to be any connection problems with internet or the server either.
Also, that twitching and lag be there even in single player game.

Sounds like this problem: http://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=10560.0

Checked them settings Blue, also have a Pentium 4 processor and no multi core processor.
The lag and twitchy moments only effects me and them around me moves smooth and fine, it all starts when i self start moving.
Have also checked the framerates and them also be just fine.
Can also add here that in close combat with a few enemies the lag gets worse.
Also as mentioned in that thread by blue i have tried to go back to base settings of the graphic card with no help at all.
Also tried it when shut the V-sync of.
Ideas be welcomed here as i soon be totally out of options and ideas.
-
Try...
Reinstalling NwN;
Redownloading and installing CEP;
Deleting your override directory and/or starting again;
Reverting back to an older graphics driver version.
-
Isn't there a topic about the samething around? I sweat I remember somebody complaining about this same kind of lag.
Edit: Here: http://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=19009.0
At least turning the V-Sync off solved his case.

I'm going to stab blindly here, so don't take this too seriously because I don't know a lot about what I'm talking about...
Most single core processors these days, I believe, utilize a technology that mimics multiple processors. Intel's version is called Hyper-Threading. I wouldn't know if this would show up on the task manager as a second processor or not, since I've never had one, but I'm going to assume it wouldn't. That said, it could be possible that your processor is attempting to Hyper-Thread NWN. If you can't figure this problem out, I'd suggest trying to find a way to disable Hyper-Threading to see if that clears up the problem.
Just a random guess, but probably worth a shot.

Done, though the problem remains.

Will give this a try, if i only can find out how to check this and also if i do have Hyper-Threading, how to turn it of.

Okays, for now NWN runs smoothly :D after tried it all it showed to be sound settings that caused the lag and twitch. Both settings in game and my sound card setting.
BIG thanks to all that have aided me here and taken their time!

Can you tell me about sound settings? Probably it is the same problem -I- have...
-
In NWN i have none of them soundsettings activated, i empty all them boxes there.
Then in advance sound options i did go for - Miles Fast 2D Positional Audio.
That's when all the lag went away, after that i have tried a few other settings to.
The % of music and such seems not to matter at all anyways so them i have on 100%.
