NWN crashes permanently!

[arison]

I installed NWN, XP1, XP2,
copied the english DIALOG.TLK into NWN installation folder,
launched the PATCH 1.69 critical rebuild,
installed CEP_2.1c
and then installed the UI.

I can join the servers without any problem, but i can´t even walk to the bank, because NWN crashes after some steps.
I´ve tried thet like 10 time i guess.
Tried to walk slowly as well, always crashed!

Does anyone know how to fix that problem?

[arison]

You may want to post your video card and drivers, as certain cards and/or drivers are known to crash NWN.

I had to revert to the original drivers to keep my (4 year old) laptop from crashing at the docks.

my card is a

ATI RADEON 9800 PRO

and i´m using

OMEGA 3.8.413 drivers

hope that helps =)

Side note - The 9800 supported TrueForm. Is that option on or off in your ini files? Mine ran fine with it several years back but some driver versions might not like it. Then again, I only use official ATI drivers.

Have also seen Catalyst AI cause performance/stability/rendering issues on some cards. Might try turning that down to 'Standard' if you have it, but not off.
