Hi,

I've recently started replaying NWN2 Deluxe Edition and I've noticed a strange behavior. The game has these periodic one-fraction-of-a-second stuttering moments. It's like the game keeps loading something at periodic times (like 2-3 seconds apart), really annoying. It can be observed when I rotate the view using the mouse in the exploration mode. At a 2-3 seconds interval the image will just skip forward like it's accessing something. I've tried numerous game settings with no success whatsoever.

Anyone else encountered this problem before ?

Thanks

Proc: E8400 3Ghz
Ram: 3GB
VGA: GeForce 250 gts 512MB - 266.58 driver
OS: Windows XP SP3

What graphics settings are you using?

1280x1024
2x AA
16x AF
High textures
High shadows - except medium far shadows
Everything else on

If this is just when you rotate, maybe it's a different issue, but if you experience this while moving your character, use the NWN2 Client Extension. Apparently there's some timing issue with newer machines that Skywing has addressed in the CE.

If that's not your issue, you should still use the Client Extension. It fixes a ton of stuff. And it's now possible to make it run discretely enough even for those who aren't tech-savvy.

No, in my case it happens when I try to scroll with the mouse. But I've noticed something different, if I rotate the view with the mouse scroll button or the keyboard the stuttering is gone (or at least isn't noticeable). I guess it only happens when scrolling with the mouse on the edges of the screen.

Isn't there a delay setting? Perhaps it could be that?

[UnevenPieces]

No, I don't think so.

could it have something to do with your mouse-screen-edge turning / scrolling speed, in Options?

if you already have it backed right off, maybe back it off more in 'nwn2player.ini' (under MyDocs)


.. uhm, defrag, um reboot, hm. antivirus ..... something guzzling back CPU cycles, sounds like

edit, V-Sync off ..? oh, btw, my first guess is the same as MC's: try the Client Extension.

I've had the same issues, first on a PC with an E2180 Pentium Dual core, 4GB of RAM, and an Nvidia 7600GT followed by an ATI HD 4850, all running under Windows Vista 64bit.  My current PC with a Q6600, 8GB of RAM, an Nvidia GTX 460, and Windows 7 64bit still experiences this issue. 
It seems as though the hitching with the camera panning happens a bit less frequently when all the fancy shadows are turned off, but it still happens multiple times every several seconds of camera panning.  It's been very annoying.

It's something like this is guy is describing ... www.youtube.com/watch

That video shows EXACTLY the problem I've had with the last two system builds I've played the game on.

I'm guessing that either no one else has this issue, or they just assumed it was "normal" and didn't think twice about it, and therefore haven't attempted to find a solution. I've tried several different things, in an attempt to correct the stuttering camera panning, however I've always assumed that it was a video rendering problem, so the only things I've tried are changing in-game detail settings and 3D rendering options in the ATI and Nvidia control panels. I have yet to find a solution though.

Don't know if anyone will still be interested in this, but I was suffering from the same problem. System specs: AMD Rana triple-core CPU, Windows 7 x64, Radeon 6670.

Setting CPU affinity fixed this issue for me. Once the game had loaded up the main menu, I minimized NWN2 (WinKey + D), then opened Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc). On the Processes tab, I clicked Show Process From All Users, which granted me Administrator access. Then I found the nwn2main.exe * 32 process and right-clicked to choose Set Affinity. After setting affinity to one core, the camera rotated much more smoothly.
