I have noticed too, as well, on and off.  Just occasionally, though.

This happens to me when I've had my NWN open for about 8 hours and I'm minimizing. >_>

Similar thing this week, I was getting weird textures on the trees and ground at the Vistani camp the other day, looked like psychedelic wrapping paper.  Had to restart to get rid of it a coujple of times.

Had that in a different game, MMO, a long while ago. I think it was related to my graphics card and the rapidly detereorating (if I spelled that right) state of my PC.
It might also have something to do with specific seasonal related changes on the server? Just a guess, since we recently went from the winter weather to the spring.
(Those mists in front of the Lady's Rest -seemed- to be the cause of some yellow bug text appearing on my screen at least, but again.. not certain if that actually caused it.)

Seems a graphic rendering problem, thus graphic card.

What specs is your machine? This might help in troubleshooting.

Try cleaning dust in the machine and vents. Graphics card or chip may be overheating with the extensive play times.

Artifacting caused by graphic card overheating, chances are you'll be needing to replace in the future soon enough.

Good advice, take off the CPU cover/heat sink and give it a good compressed air bath

I had a TI-4600 back in the day...bought it for nwn...and yeah 2 years ago... it finally busted out. However for a couple years before I got a new machine...I would get strange graphics like that... a green strip , rainbow strip and so on. Its a sign of heat, and possible damage. Sooner or later the video card will give out. Watch the frequency,,, if you are finding its happening all the time, I would suggest looking for a new video card.
