Crashing. Question for Linux users.
-
Hi. Due to some necessary hardware reconfiguration on my windows laptop, I'm no longer able to run NWN on that machine. I'm happy that I've been able to get the game to run on my Linux laptop. The game completely freezes my machine however, whenever I accidently press the tilde (~) key in game. This is extremely odd to me. Rebinding the key doesn't fix the problem. Has anyone running Linux had this problem? I'd appreciate any suggestions for a solution. I frequently hit the key by mistake when I'm trying to use TAB or ESC.
Thanks.

i have been suffering with really poor connection and also the game freezing and stopping running recently too. but i use windows…
also finding that the game minimizes itself at times too, usually when using tab. I thought that a bit wierd.

I don't have that problem, but I'm not using the same language keyboard layout you do, so it's not surprising. Here's some troubleshooting suggestions:
-
Check your key defaults setup in the game options menu, tilde could be something you don't want.
-
What effect does the tilde key have when you're not playing NWN? It could be the shortkey to a Gnome of KDE command.
-
Are you playing in fullscreen mode, or windowed? Windowed mode behaves strangely on my system. It also fare very poorly when I accidentaly hit the key that minimizes all apps.
-
When you freeze, is it only the game that freezes? The windowing? or the whole comp? You usually can bypass a frozen fullscreen app or desktop by hitting Ctl+Alt+F1 which sends you to a text login, you can then ps your processes and kill the offending nwmain process. On Ububtu/Kubuntu systems, Ctrl-Alt-F7 will then take you back to the desktop so you can see what ended up happening.
