Nope, the previous PC was a simple Pentium IV with no multi-core or whatsoever. I can post the detailed specs if needed.

Did you try setting NWN to running on only one core in the nwnplayer.ini file?
It's under [Game Options]
Client CPU Affinity=0

Have you checked windows event viewer for errors?
http://windows.micro...gs-Event-Viewer

Ok! I finally got some decent error reporting from that one! I'm attaching the error log here: Click to download
Whenever I run the game I get two "events", one with the "Information" title, and another one with the "Error" title. I attached several formats for the "Information" event (In the .rar attached file inside the rar file, lol) and just one for the "Error" event. Apparently it looks like there's an error with the "atioglxx.dll" file on "C:\\Windows\\System32" (I checked over there, and found no file with that name over there)... In any case, I made a quick search on Google for errors with this, and ONLY tested a "dumb" fix suggested: Copy that file to the game folder... Still couldn't make it work. For today, I'm out of time for more testing for this, so I'll research into this tomorrow during work time and try to look for more solutions to errors related to this DLL.

Add to that, I've also heard of a lot of weird issues from sound drivers, including silent crashes. I'm not sure what the history is concerning NWN and sound driver issues, but I know that's a common source of grief among gamers in general. You may want to add "Update Sound Card Drivers" to your random list.

EDIT:
I found at least one example of sound card drivers preventing NWN from booting:

Hey! That's a great recall of a thread! Tried the proposed fix (Setting DisableSound to 0, and tried back with 1 as well)... Also, tried setting it to "SafeMode" in the "Configure" application of the NWN Launcher. Also, someone back mentioned trying "playing" with the values in that configuration. Tried the best of the settings, didn't run. Tried the worst settings, didn't run either. Tried average settings, still no good.

Yep, tried 0, -1 and -2 (Some of my friends with Win 7 Ult x64 recommended me those last values. I was desperate, and gave it a shot) no good either. In any case, It looks like you guys are going to need more information about my specs, or at least information from my nwn.ini and such files. I'll try making some time later, or early tomorrow before I leave for the office to get those files and upload the contents.

Thanks a lot to you guys, seriously all of your ideas help me to continue on my quest to make this game work on my new PC ~

Here's a quick reference for you. That's an OpenGL graphics driver error. OGL drivers are generally packaged with your graphics driver.
My recommendation is to update your graphics driver again, or if that fails, try an older version of your graphics driver.
Not every graphics driver version supports every OGL version very well for some reason.
Definitely try updating them first though.
Here's a link to the OGL Wiki:

And another remark from my side: Though I use the linux client, I experienced graphic driver issues as well. The latest ATi (AMD) driver the works correctly with nwn linux is the 11-04 version. After that, all newer versions have OpenGL issues. As there is an OpenGL error on your system, too, I recommend using an older ATi driver, not the latest. ATi and Nvidia both silently dropped OpenGL support for Windows drivers and focused on DirectX instead.

What you will probably need is the 11-2 ATI series driver. However, I would go with the 11-1 series instead, as 11-2 created some issues with other legacy games.

As for nVidia - I have the latest nVidia drivers and experience no issues with NWN. According to fraps I get an average of 300-350 fps while moving through low impact areas, which drops to 275-325 fps in high-impact fights (lots of VFX running and lots of creatures). The worst fps I have gotten is 220 - and that dropped only happened cause my PC started to backup files in the background.

I use an nVidia GT 240 GPU with 1GB VRam. Although an older card, I highly recommend it if you are going to buy a "real" card. It currently retails for less than $100 and is a bargain compared to some of the comparable ATI cards.

I really can't recommend anything from AMD/ATI. I dropped them over a year ago and went back to Intel and nVidia - the only hardware I've ever owned that lasts longer than a year.

Ok guys! I got it working somehow!... Apparently you were right about updating the drivers, and yesterday was finally able to install them -Hadn't enough time to check that out- after I installed Catalyst Bundle Pack 11.5 (I don't remember correctly, but It was 11. something) everything started working fine. Thanks a lot for all the help, suggestions, ideas. Thanks a lot for helping me fixing this!

Glad to hear it.
