HG no longer works for me :(

[Deleted]

Virus cleansing, routing resetting, registry fixing, reinstalling....and still HG is constantly out of sync for me and then it just crashes. Especially during 60+ runs. Lowbys it generally does fine. The game worked fine on the same machine since I bought it. Sometimes turning off hgx seems to help but that could just be a coincidence. I read somewhere about going into the init file and doing some disabling core cross threading something or other I dunno.

Quite a few people seem to be having a similar problem. Is there a definitive solution?

First guess would be ini settings. If you have a backup copy of these then restore it.

In nwnplayer.ini here are the settings that work for me:

[Game Options]
Memory Level=1
Memory Access=1
Max Memory Usage=64
TooltipDelay uSec=100000
Enable FloatyTextFeedback=0
Hide SecondStoryTiles=0
Single Player ItemLevelRestrictions=0
Single Player Enforce Legal Characters=0
Client CPU Affinity=0
ClientEntireChatWindowLogging=1
LogMyEmoteUsage=0
In-game Text Swear Filter=0
Visible Cloaks=0
MouseoverFeedback=1
TextBubbleMode=1

...

[Profile]
ShowMessageOfTheDay=0
Client Port=5120
ShowDDMessage=0

...

You could also try messing around in nwconfig.exe. But make a backup of nwconfig.ini before you do that.

Maybe this helps:

I had to reinstall NWN totally new again. It worked all for me. Win XP.
- Installed Diamond NWN from GOG. That includes the 1.69 Critical Rebuild. If you use another install, I would run that file after the NWN install (NWN + both expansions). English install.
- Then: Installed CEP 2.3 (Hak into HAK, tlk into tlk). I've downloaded that from Werehound Silverfang (werehound) Signature link
- Then: ARF2 download and Run: dl.hgweb.org/arf/arf2.zip
- Mark option in ARF2 for modified exe and HG enhanced
- Changed in the nwn.ini:
[Display Options]
AllowWindowedMode=1
- Changed in the nwnplayer.ini:
[Game Options]
ClientEntireChatWindowLogging=1

That worked for me. I can zooooom.

IDONT run HGX because of crashes (but maybe the current version would do, I have not tested it)
Antivirus: MS Security Essentials
Grafics Card: NVidia GeForce (320.49 Driver == newest)
I direct connect to HG: Shortcut with "C:\Neverwinter Nights\nwmain.exe" +connect 209.99.103.44:5121 for server 1 and so on. (No other program like ARF or Corssroads)

I dont think HGX is the issue here, I know alot of ppl using it including myelf, and I don't got this problem.
I do run it on my Imac, windows 7 mode, and I can also run two accounts without lag/crash.
