My framerate is quite poor and the game is a lil' jumpy.. to my astonishment the resource hog known as NWN2, is as smooth as silk; so, it's not that the laptop lacks the grunt.
And yeah, I have Shiny Water turned off and have mucked around with lots of different settings such as shadows and grass, but to no avail.
Perhaps it's just the way OpenGL was implemented or something, but I was wondering if anyone had found a trick to make things smooth again?
Cheers!
NWN not playing nice with my AMD Radeon laptop :(

Never mind. I think my advice was not very good.. I hope somebody will come along with more technical,prowess.

My OS is Windows 8.1 x64, btw.
I found this but it's just to do with crashes, not performance.
A couple other things I've tried:
Setting Priority of the exe to "High" - no change
Setting Affinity to all cores and each of the four cores - no change
It's hovering around 15 FPS.. anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, resolution seem to be irrelevant to performance and the only in-game setting that changes my FPS is Shiny Water, which was identified as a common culprit years ago and everyone knows about it.
I think it's just something to do with the AMD driver not playing nice with how NWN implements OpenGL.

Does running it in win XP SP 3 compatibility mode make any difference for you?

Hello Lilura,
In the link you provided there is this snippet "using a Win32 atioglxx.dll on a Win64 system makes the game unusably slow.". Maybe your problem could be related to mismatched 32 bit software. Check you have a proper 64 bit driver. Also, try installing older versions (sometimes new updates dump old software support). Other bits like modifying the graphic options in your computer BIOS can help boost speed too (assign more memory to the graphic engine, fastest PCIE access mode, etc.).

Mmm.. well, it runs Crysis and other 64 bit games no problems.. I'm hesitant to tinker with the BIOS or rollback my drivers as that's counter-productive to my other needs.
But thanks anyway!
