Diamond Edition?
« on: March 10, 2009, 12:57:01 AM »
Ok so as you may have read, I just bought a new computer and unfortunately it has Vista on it *gags* Well I need to buy a new copy of the game since Ive been playing on a Mac. Well my question is...*drum roll* Can I just buy Diamond Edition or do I need to locate a specific game geared towards Vista? Let me know asap so I can order the game and resume playing!!!

but prepare for a couple days of aggrevation, as you get all the fun little details of combining NWN with Vista, we have posts above it and alot of us have already dealt with it. Hopefully it wont be too bad

I have been running my original version of NWN from my portable drive (USB) for the last year, it is prior to Diamond edition but with the patching all worked well, it interfaces with vista fine (had only a couple load issue on the first run but this sorted itself out) as this is what runs on our home computer, at work it is old windows version and never had a problem.

Found this the best way to run without having to continually reload it onto different computers, as I updated or moved.

I tested the diamond version too on a separate drive and this worked well too.

The program is not heavy enough to cause any slow down using a portable (USB2) drive.

I copied my NWN folder from an XP computer and put it on a Vista computer and it worked.
