Have you guys tried running NWN in a Linux distro? I hear it is the fastest possible experience when it comes to this particular game. Perhaps it would solve the +400 card problems. I'm actually right now downloading Mint in order to virtualize it in a Windows 7 Ultimate 64bits host, in hopes it may fix my own problems. Can't hurt to try, right?

Well I installed driver 270.61 WHQL, still no improvement.... On it goes

[mobius_maligar]

the nwn linux version ( with nvidia linux drivers ) is no good either. i am running a 460 gtx card on a ubuntu 10.10 linux distro and i have the same 15 - 20 fps shuttering when robes and bow strings are present. i am trying to install glintercept and nwn under wine, but i am having no luck.

I have a hard enough time learning all the xtra video settings under windows...nevermind trying my hand at a linux install (I only have about 2 levels in linux but my other character has about 20 levels of Windows.. and thats from countless hours dungeon crawling through vista installs and failed admin applications.)
but if someone can get it to work in linux then maybe Nvidia can gander at the concept and maybe 'see' the simple fix..its gotta be in there somewhere!

[Jedijax]

This from the man who convinced me of going through the excruciating process of downloading, installing virtual machine software, as well as a different OS in order to test my NWN issues?

[lordofworms]

Haha! Touche ' Jedijax! of course I only mentioned the windows virtual machine...(which I have since tested and but with a virtual MB graphics card...yikes not so smooth)

linux I think someone else mentioned.
have you tried the GLInterceptor yet Jedi? because that did significantly help me out...its a small painless install (no install just drag and drop dll and config file) and edit a simple .ini file.

[Grieyls]

According Nvidia the the fix for this issue "will" be in the june driver release... Well, we shall see.

[Calvinthesneak]

I've seen the same thing. Manuel G said it had been part of a larger issue and would try to see it in the June release.... I assume that will be the beta release.

[lordofworms]

we should def. keep this post alive until then and with a link since I would love to be able to just avoid this workaround altogether.

Not much luck for folks with the 275.27 beta drivers yet.

Only half a week till June.... I wonder if the driver fix will be early, mid or late June?

[Carabia]

Looking at the previous stable driver releases:
19.7.2010
18.10.2010
18.01.2011
18.04.2011
So the June drivers will most likely be around 18.-19.

Guys, I just wana say.

I used to think you were all complaining about nothing....
Then I actually tried my new gtx 460 on NWN, and OMG.

It runs smoothly, if I run around naked, but if I put on a any armor which has cloth showing, instantly drop to 20 fps.
Then if Im on screen with other players in their cloaks, I drop to 9, 10 fps etc.

And it gets worse with Spells Flying around,
At some points in the game, with Isaac's Greater Missile Storm going, the Missiles actually stretch across the screen, cause of the stutteryness.

OMG - How long has NVidia been working on this?

Yesterday a New Driver came out (possibly a beta)
475.33 I think it was.

I tested it, didnt resolve any issues.

[lordofworms]

..crap..
I am still holding out for the final release...but yeah the nvidia forums, peeps have said the same, beta's have not fixed any of the issues.

[Baaleos]

On the plus side -
My new GTX 460 SE really is powerful for every other game.

I run everything at MAX UBER ULTRA settings, and get no slow down what so ever.
But then an itty bitty game such as nwn which is over 10 years old, comes along, and grinds my fps to 10, or 7 in some cases.

[Jedijax]

Ditto! My GTX 285 with maxed out, overriding graphical options makes Modern Warfares and Black Ops look and perform like top-notch CG Movies, but my NWN stutters like nobody's business!

[Nirklars]

I made a simplified installation script for the OpenGL workaround.
This is NOT a solution, simply a workaround until NVidia gets their minds to actually fix this bug. This workaround gives me 30-60 fps on my GTX470. I hope it works for you as well. NVidia driver version 275.33

New Beta Driver is out today - Im installing now to see if it resolves anything. So far, no mention in the release notes of NWN 1, Just some nwn2 fixes among others.

[Baaleos]

Issue remains...
Driver version 275.50 beta.

They promised a fix for this issue in the june release... they are leaving it late, if the beta hasnt even come out yet.

[Jedijax]

Usually if there is no mention in the release notes, there is no update for a particular issue.

[Baaleos]

They didnt mention 'creating' the issue in any of their release notes, never know when they might add in some hidden surprises.

[lordofworms]

*bump*
just dont want this to get lost in the piles...its importatnt info for many peeps trying to get their beloved game working on these next gen vid cards.
