Hi all, I have a new computer, everything works well, and now that I have an NVIDIA card instead of an ATI Radeon I no longer crash every hour or so when playing the game. BUT... whenever I walk or run with my character the screen freezes slightly for a fraction of second between each steps. It's not enough to truly annoy me or prevent me to play but it is there nonetheless. I play with minimal video settings to avoid all the other usual problems NWN comes with. Video card is a GeForce GTX 760, system has 12 GB ram on a 3,5 Ghz Intel motherboard, running Windows 8 and playing at 1920x1080 60mhz display resolution on a 27" screen. I tried a lower resolution on a smaller screen and it does the same. Any ideas?
had that issue on my laptop, and it was with the nvidia card as well.
I managed to get slightly better performance by reducing allmost EVERY special detail. And reducing it to res of 800x640. With that I was able to eliminate most of these occurances. (No shadows and flickering lights etc.)
Also I am guessing that you have an intel computer. However it would be good to get some more information.
Like if it is a laptop or a dekstop. (Also 3.5 GHZ intel is the processor, not the motherboard
)
Because if it is a laptop, then most likely there is a hybrid technology used, that basicly means that if a game is launched then instead of the processor integrated videocard/or mobo integrated (which most likely is an intel 4+++) the dedicated one is fired up(the GTX) and used.
If so you can turn off the dedicated videocard for THIS GAME ALONE, and that should also help. (I think this was my final solution but not sure, perhaps i had to make some adjustments to the ini file, cant recall since latelyi had to tinker with a number of ini files.)
To be able to offer you more help, please check the receipt of your computer. It should either state the parts which you bought, and got built-in (either by you or the company) or it should state which "allready built" computer you bought. (Like which alienware or whatever you guys fancy there, of course this only applies to desktops. For a laptop the type of the laptop might be enough.)
