Mine is crashing under intense battles involving lots of spell graphics. Was not doing that before.

Acaos may be better able to speak to this, but it's possible that bioware did not find and fix ALL the animation issues that caused crashes. You can experiment with putting the animation fix back in to see if this stops it, though this will mean those two robes will go back to unwearable-looking. Funky

You may already be aware of this, but I don't see any posts mentioning it so I guess I will. Potion-stacking is completely broken, not even single potions purchased back-to-back from the item shop will stack. I thought it was just me, but then my entire HC group started complaining about it.

Stacking will be fixed next reset.

ok, I made the shortcut on my desktop and set it to run as admin. I disabled movies and I can click to play game, but when the next menu comes up to start a new game, play a saved game, play a multiplayer game, etc, the buttons don't work. I can't even exit the game without ctrl alt del and ending the task. Help please.

Unsure if it's the same thing but sometimes after starting with the HG Loader or alt tabbing to firefox/itunes while playing, nwn doesn't respond to any button clicking when i go back to it. Alt tabbing out of nwn and back into it again fixes it. (Possibly a completely different problem to the above though).

CB22 - I've had the alt-tab problem before. In fact I thought that might be the problem, so I alt=tabbed out and back in. That did not fix it, so I alt-tabbed out and went to the bar and clicked on the NWN tab with my mouse to bring the game back up and that still didn't fix it.

the admin load worked for me initially... now i try to join a server and iime out. leaving me with a locked CD key and no way to resolve it. Cant join a different server since CD key is in use, cant join the server where the CD key is in use because i hang .... was working acceptably well earlier...

I have never been able to ALT-TAB to NWN (on four different machines, both XP & Vista) unless I cycle (clockwise?) through all open applications (that is, if I ALT-TAB out of NWN, I can't ALT backTAB directly back but have to go round in a loop). Even then around half the time I get a windowing problem and need to end the session and restart - so I rarely Tab-out of NWN ...
And as for Vista - I have only been able to get NWN running by right clicking on NWNmain.exe and selecting "Run as administrator". Shortcuts, links to desktops etc. just have me in a world of pain.
Hope this helps
Grog

This may have been due to crashing because the stacking fix didn't work quite right. Can you try again please?
Sorry for the inconvenience, Acaos

Vista had the same problems before the 1.68 patch was out, apparently it's having trouble accessing system files. To fix it, you can manually change security and auditing settings, or completely disable UAC (User Access Control) and Windows Defender.
If you're running nwn.exe as administrator you will also need to update the game under "Administrator" account by running "nwupdate.exe" as an administrator. When you do this it doesn't download the patch, all it does is checks the files then updates the registry under Administrator with the correct version.
To allow the game to launch when you click play, you can change security permissions on your NWN directory to allow full control.
To prevent crashing after first movie, I tweaked security auditing on "C:\Windows\System32\ntdll.dll" to allow full access, also unchecked inheriting.
I have UAC turned off with nwn.exe running as admin and these work perfectly to get the game going normally. If you don't want to turn off UAC you could probably disable the movies with full control on the NWN directory to get it to work correctly.

Alt tabbing out of nwn and back into it again fixes it. (Possibly a completely different problem to the above though). I've had this issue too, pre-169, you don't need to alt tab out a 2nd time, just alt tab to it a 2nd time and that works. So alt tab to nwn, if you can't click, alt tab to nwn again.
