Computer slows in eveningstar and Easy way
-
I'm wondering what the reason for this is. My computer slows down a bit in these areas as well as inside the new castle interiors such as the red hart fortress.
Is anyone else experiencing this and is any way to fix it? I have a good computer, but those 2 areas just seem fucked for me.
-
I have a crap computer and they are aweful for me also the rest of the server is pretty much fine but i try to avoid these two area's for this very reason.
-
I got lag in Easthaven when the mounted guards would go by. Its not so bad now that they are gone.
I still get lag in the RH castle. I'd blame the dogs but I don't lag in the sheriff tower…
-
I lag everywhere, but places with smoke, fog or other such visual effects it just turns terrible.
-
The new areas and horses especially uses high poly models that are graphics intensive. Also, NWN does a shoddy job of caching, plus there are memory leaks
-
Eveningstar does this for me. My PC is boss, so I dunno whats going on, doesnt matter that much though, I just handle it.
-
only problem I have with Eveningstar is that only your own lightsources seme to work. you can stand next to someone who has a torch and not see any of the light, while they obviously do have the benefit of that torch, and vice versa.
-
I've not noticed any issue with Eveningstar, East Way does chug rather badly for me however… I think it is the large amount of placeables perhaps.
-
I get no slowdowns at all anywhere.
Check your video card drivers.
-
I think some graphics cards weren't real compatible with the new tilesets perhaps. I have a decent machine with specs that should be enough to play NWN at max and well beyond and I get a stutter when entering East Way and a few other areas. There used to be a problem with the ballista placeables and some cloaks and visual effects for some nvidia cards. Updating drivers seems to make it worse rather than better.
-
My drivers work very well for all games and very well for nwn except those areas. This is what i find odd.
-
You can't compare all games. Every game has different engines and code. Some video cards run them differently. If you want performance, go with an ATI Radeon (downside is no shiny water in NWN…)

This annoys me so much. Combine this with the ludicrously dark nights that are absolutely everywhere and you have a situation in which I just don't really do anything at night, when I can avoid it.

the MG foyer with its visual effects and the fountain do for me. and when a dm turns up it become s unplayable…
-
I have a phat loot detector. Every time someone with phat loot turns up, I get a short freeze. It's cool, I know who to gank like this.

I don't have a problem in evening star…in the Hart fortress it's a chug fest
