Slow Area Load Times...10min plus

[MilesAtma_Redux]

Hi Guys!



I am up and running, but it takes an eternity to load an area.  Easily over 10 minutes just to get to the docks.
I am tethering my samsung at over 5Mb up and down according to speed test.


My ping is 30ms on speed test; though I see that when connected to nwn I am showing   .1Mbps network activity.


here is a resource monitor view; shows NWN is unrestricted on port 5120, as far as firewall.   Hope this helps.






ssd specs



I changed my host file so logging in is super fast.   


The game is installed in C:/Users/myUserName/Games/NWN          


my pc

ssd drive 120gb.

i5-3210M CPU @ 2.5GHz

4GB RAM

64 bit windows 10


zero issues surfing the web or watching youtube.    




I wonder if there is some configuration file I need to set that would make all the difference.  


I have cep installed, and hg enhanced.

I did make it into the game after a good long wait, and once in, I didn't notice any lag, so that's great news. 


Any help would be appreciated.

There is an issue with some Intel integrated graphics and areas loading. The only work around I have encountered is to bring up the NWN console before a transition by pressing ~. For whatever reason, with the console open, the areas load okay, if the issue is caused by the Intel integrated graphics. I don't see your video card listed, this may be applicable.

Superb advice, and timely also. I owe you three wishes. I only have to enter console once...and it stays in that mode, so its like regular game play!!!! WHoopee. Thanks again kalahar.

Until you need to type, in which case, you have to exit to type and reenter console before your next transition. Clunky, but it is the best I have found for this issue so far.
