yes, it says so in the requirements.
and about the performance, that's all way exaggerated, it's running great here with everything on max even in big battles with 20 characters on screen. |
just because it runs good for you doesnt mean it runs great for everyone else.

Everything else is maxed. Gayass Bloom is off.

Is anyone else getting problems with the map? The starter village and the swamp's maps seem to be bugged, that is as far as I have got so far.
I enjoyed NWN1 but NWN2 so far seems alot slower and less fluid, and frankly I am suprised they decided to recycle alot of the sounds and music.

Yo if you want to fix the camera just do this.
edit your nwnplayer.ini
change "CameraFollowAlways=0" to "CameraFollowAlways=1"

Obsidian or what the fuck did much, much better work on this title compared to, let's say Piranha -> Gothic 3. Go fuck a duck if you disagree.

Sry, don´t like animals that way, like u do...?  |
Comparing 1.01 patch to G3 1.01 patch or 7.04 or what it is, Piranha Bytes did a better job.
I bought both games though cause i'm an RPG fanatic and it's part of my 'work'  |

The "mini" image is 3gigs...
Here is what I do: install PROCYON version, mount image, run YASU (included) and run. No muss, no fuss.

Try to get some levels and use death attack on lower level enemies, see if that works |
I haven't actually tried it yet. I gave up on leveling my rogue and started over I read that you can only paralzye them. I found the cheats though so I will cheat them up to level 20 and see if they can kill someone. Also anyone know how to make it so your party members stop following you? I want to go stealth around, but with them behind me that would be rather a pain.

Goddamnit.
I have a FX 5700, but its not could enough because.
Theres a major DEFECT in how all FXes try to reproduce SM 2 functions without having SM 2 hardware.
nVidia argued with Microsoft (about money) and tried to beat both ATI and Microsoft in one leapfrog gamble. They created a fancy FX shader system with 32-Bit precision, not the mandated Dx9 24-Bit system. And it backfired in their faces.
Read the WikiPedia article. It's an eye-opener.
So im completely fucked.
this is going to sound strange as hell. but i gained about 25 fps by turning off vsync in the game profile page of my nvidia card.
In general with the settings I run: with vsync on, my fps sometimes hits 30 but most often sits at 20. With it off, it barely EVER drops below 30...
I don’t get shearing or anything, just much higher framerates and less choppy gameplay.
here are what give me performance hits and my settings.
in game profile for nvida card in the classic control panel with the Nov2 NVIDIA update I have everything game controlled accept: quality is at highest setting and vsync off.
(all fps are approximate averages across indoor and outdoor in combat and out of combat. -Generally, indoor gives about 10 higher fps and combat drops fps by 5.)
res 1280 by 1024
shadows off: 55 fps.
simple drop: 50 fps
cast character shadows with environment off: 45 fps
all shadows on: 35 (much more variable fps than above settings. indoors this bearly hits fps and looks fantastic, but outdoors it drops it to mid 30s).
point light: drops fps by 3
normal mapped terrain: on drops fps by 15! ~ and does not look any better with it on!
soft shadows: on drops by 5
both water effects: each drops fps by 8 when around water
meduim to high texture: no change
draw distance at max: no real fps effect when I change this.
settings in which i find it most playable (avg fps around 45 with minimal variability) and still looking good.
vsync off in profile of nvidia card.
texture on high.
Cast character shadows with environment off outdoors, full shadows indoors
normal mapped terrain off
soft shadows off
all anisotropic filtering on highest settings.
all shadowmaps on medium settings.
bloom on: bloom off makes NO difference for fps for me.
point light from chars on: perhaps 2 fps hit depending on spells and torch...
water effects off
texmin, texmag, mipmp maxtex all at highest settings.
with the same settings above but having vsync on, I get 20 fps almost constantly, with it occasionaly bumping up to 30. with vsync off, i get 45!

Running great here on a 7600gt, with everything maxed except the texture/shadow maps left on default res.
Really like the feeling of this from the get-go. No empty feeling like I got from the first NWN. Haven't yet started getting into the story, though. Waiting on a crack for that online authorization thing, so I can play multi thru the campaign. And it irks me that I'd hafta buy a copy for each player on the lan, like the original which I purchased(but still had to hassle with cracking...grrr).
Anyways besides that small gripe this looks to be a keeper, maybe even RPG for the year for me if the story is halfway decent...

So again: Does anyone know how the Limited edition content was packaged (NOT the merchant's friend) Was it part of the game, or a separate install?

There's was a root folder on the DVD containing the extra feet and classes.
Add this file to your "localvault" folder:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/c8bqv1
(20 characters)
Add this file to your "Campaigns\Neverwinter Nights 2 Campaign" folder
http://www.sendspace.com/file/7t8trl
(New feet - bonus saving throws and new items - you must select the feet for the items)

anyone know how to max out the view distance to get rid of all fog in the game (beyond what's available in the in-game options)?

Is it possible to download the 1.01 patch separate for manual install and not using the ingame-patcher? I dont like these "tools", you dont know exactly what they do (spyware?)... I prefer manual patching....

The auto-updater is not spyware or anything like it, so just use it, it is PERFECTLY safe. |
