I've just created my first character on the BG:TSCC persistent world. Performance seems to be really awful. My framerates are high, but the lag is excessive. I click a location to move to, and it takes 5 seconds before my character actually decides to move. I met some gnolls in the wilderness, and the lag made combat impossible. I tried to leave the area. My character just skipped location towards and away from the area exit point. Then the game crashed.
I've had the game crash 3 times tonight I think, everytime after massive lag.
Is there anything I can do to remedy the situation client-wise? Is it just the server acting buggy tonight, and bad timing on my account?

We're having some problems this afternoon it would seem. |

Also read the performance tip and crash reducing threads contained within the sections at the top of the main forum page.

OK, thanks. I'll check up on the crash and performance threads.
The PW setting and content seems really cool, so I'm hoping that the problems I experience are only temporary.

Don't worry .. usually it run relatively smooth, today the server was moved and I think some adjustments need to be done as I'm terribly choppy in game myself.

meldor: By relatively smooth, do you mean only little lag, or only few/no crashes? I played for a few hours today. I had at leasts 5 area transition crashes. Lag was much better than yesterday though. The people I partied with, had their client crash as well. About the crashes, is this a BG:TotSC problem, or a general NWN2/PW problem? I have yet to try playing on any other PW. The crashes can mess up quests. Is this something a DM can help out with? I don't want a quest in my journal for the rest of my current characters lifetime, because a quest-item has disapperead after a crash. The instability is really distrubing the experience.

Usually there's not much lag to speak of and few server-related crashes. NWN2 is notoriously crashy, however. If it happens during a loading screen, chances are good it's NWN2's fault. As for the quest items, I usually help people out if a crash or bug causes a quest they're on to malfunction.  |

Could you help me out then? My lvl 1 paladin Justand Kennald, bought back the uptight noble-womans bracelet from a thieving street-urchin. Quest name: A lady's loss.
The bracelet disappeared after the crash. According to the journal, I just have to return the bracelet to her, to finish the quest. I've also lost the +1 good alignment from buying back the bracelet.
Does anyone know if Obsidian is working to improve PW-stability? I've never had the game crash on me during a singleplayer session. I've tried disabling every possible video setting, disabling AI (not sure of the purpose, as I'm only controlling my main avatar), and excluding specific game patchs from my antivirus-application (great way of introducing viruses btw. I guess BG:TotSC is trustworthy though :-D )

Its just bad timing on your part. We've been running fine for two months. But when we moved the server this weekend we ran into a bunch of problems. Hopefully we won't be moving the server again. Give it a few days and we will have it ironed out. |

i do get crashes 50% of the time in sshamath (the players are starting to call it crashmath).
this is even after turning off shadows and tuning down my video settings as far as they will go.
Sshamath still needs work to make it stable let alone additions to the UD to make it more playable (my level 8 drow has been grinding the same two areas for about a month now).

His Masters Voice#> I'm going to log on to the server tonight. I'll report back on the game experience from a performance/stability perspective.
My quest issue is still unresolved. I tried contacting a DM via the DM-channel. I'm not sure if that's the way to do it though.

The online experience has much improved since my last login. Zero crashes, and better area-transition loading times. Great stuff.
My corrupted quest issue still lingers though.
