Crashing, the Linux kind (aborted)

[aldrinaline]

Now I know that there are other threads regarding crashing, however I can't seem to find one that is similar to mine or is helpful (except for the one regarding a "linux version" of nwmain).

Now, my problem is that when I login to higher ground I complete the first load bar, then (I think) I complete the 2nd load bar, and instantly NWN crashes and in terminal I get the msg "aborted".

I read a thread regarding a linux version of main, which apparently is supposed to work with HGenhanced..? something of the sort, anyways, I downloaded and replaced my nwmain with the tar'd version and everything runs fine except it didn't fix my problem...

The only thing I can think of is that its because I have an intel video card and there are some weird issues regarding drivers, etc. However, I am able to logon to various servers (I tried an RP server not long ago) and it seems to work fine...

I was wondering if anyone knows of what exactly the issue may be or of possible fixes? I've looked in the bio fora and found people with similar issues but no fixes that I could see... so... yea..

thanks in advance for any and all responses.

Darn. I lied, i decided to do further investigation on another server called Antaris and Past the first area I crash, and in certain areas I don't. So this is simply an issue common to all servers and not any custom scripts.. but if anyone is willing to try and help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

its possible that one of your files got corrupted and that nwn crashed trying to load something. try the first chapter or two of the original campaign and seeing if you crash

[aldrinaline]

no, I don't think it's a file issue. I do crash during the original campaign, but I'm able to walk around, and while walking around I end up crashing.. So I'm not exactly sure what causes the crash when I play the original campaign, but I walk through, talk to the first 4 NPCs then walking by the fighter area I crashed. This happens as I just run through everything but when I actually waited awhile at the beginning and such, then ran through slower it didn't crash. So I'm unsure of what the exact problem is, but most signs point to video card issues...

if youre crashing in the original campaign, that rules out cep and hge as the culprits at least

try updating your video drivers. that seems to be the most likely point of failure at the moment

[aldrinaline]

from what I can tell, my video drivers are as updated as possible.

[chirikov]

well, you can try downgrading to older drivers and seeing if that helps

it might help if you post your system specs and other info as well

alright, i seem to have a temporary fix where certain shaders aren't loaded. of course, whatever objects caused nwn to crash for me are now simply rendered as white.
