Problem playing online
-
I have a problem that just doesn't seem possible. I have a core i5 laptop with a nvidia 610m vid card. I have the game set to run xp sp3 compatible. Drivers are up to date.
I can play the single player campaigne just fine all graphics options at maximum. Im almost at the end of chapter 1.
When i try to play online on any server i get weird graphics anomalies.
Its real blocky with no textures showing on some pallets and fine on others. I can only see the heads and weapons of the city guards, but i can see all the other npc's just fine. Some of the doors and transitions are invisible though i was able to walk through and get out of the buildings. Then I went outside and wow everthing was rendered at different levels of the z axis, ie….cow floating in mid air above thier pen. Most of the palletes were rendered as solid textureless blocksAny ideas what is happening??? This is on any server i have tried on the server list. Please help i have no ideas left.

Do you have any overrides or haks that may have been active? I can't imagine anything else that'd cause this kind of problem.
-
Its a brand new copy i bought called NWN Complete. I just got it. Perhaps I should look for a copy of NWN Diamond.
-
huh, that's odd.
Did it include both expansions? That may be the issue, I suppose? Seems weird that it wouldn't work though
-
What they called the bundle you bought doesn't matter. Same contents, different names. Diamond, Complete, Deluxe, W/E, all the same. Sure you have the latest updated patch though (1.69)? Does your game settings match your screen settings?
Edit: you should also have both expansions installed. Otherwise this may muck up certain terrains (but not really city interior…)
-
I tried an update to see if it needed a patch and it didnt i have 1.69.
I only installed NWN not 2. but still why is it the only when im online that im having graphics problems. The game runs awsome in single player. It makes no sence
-
did the update succeed? I thought the bioware update server is down now.
Go to the CoA wiki (google: city of arabel wiki), on the main page you get a link to a file called critical rebuild. It might help. At least it patches you to the correct version.
-
People still buy NWN? Pirate bay dawgs
-
That link is expired . what about neverwinter vault?
-
The critical rebuild is available in the NWNvault. Are you sure you have both expansions installed (Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark)? Both your current patch and your installed expansions are shown in the launch-window. Expansions does not affect the original campaign, but it does affect online play.
-
The biggest problem NWN has is with video cards and what drivers you are using
-
Radeon HD card. Problem solved.
(just no shiny water…)
-
I installed the rebuild and have killed off 2 characters already hehe. I forgot about the fugue plane :o
Thanks for all the help
-
You are aware you can respawn if you want to, right?
-
Yes i know. one character is bugged and both just level 2 i told the dm to delete all of them. ill make a new one and start fresh
