My friend and myself both run Vista and NWN2 just seems to crash randomly. Either during the load screen or when after we exit the game.
Any known fixes for this?

I'm using XP Professional and I still get similar crash issues, but not that often (primarily when exiting the game, it crashes). The bioware forums are full of posts trying to figure out why the game crashes when it does and it seems that there is simply a multitude of answers and not one general solution.

Had the same problem until delete nwn2 folder. Now its really OK. What have to do: 1. Just rename your My documents/ Neverwinter Nights 2 folder to a My documents/ OLD Neverwinter Nights 2 (or whatever) 2. Start nwn2. then exit from the main menu. 3. Now you have absolutely new My documents/ Neverwinter Nights 2 folder near to your My documents/ OLD Neverwinter Nights 2 4. Copy in a new one pws and hacks from OLD one(and notepad files from localvault folder in My documents/ OLD Neverwinter Nights 2 if your PCs were writing something in ingame jornal ) 5. Connect to BG TSCC - if everything is fine you can delete that My documents/ OLD Neverwinter Nights 2 folder.  i fixed my crashes on XP Professional. |

For the crashing when you exit the game, click the Exit to Menu option first, then click Exit Game. If you Exit Game from in the server itll crash you.
As for the random crashing I get that to running XP, nothing you can do about it really but relog.

I use Vista to run the game though it's just because i got it for free on my university... Have you tryied lowering the quality of graphical interface? I mean, most of the crashes are caused by error indexing memory (both graphical and random access) Yes, I realize that the OS becomes very ugly but it's something we gotta live with to free some memory... ;D God save Linux  |

All graphics are at their lowest settings.
It silly that they can't sort out a problem like this.

Its just the shortcomings of the game I think; not a windows problem at all imo... We all knew NWN2 was a pile of near EA standerd turd when we brought it, the team can only patch the game now... Its never going to be reliable and its never going to have dual core support! I read the reviews and knew the game was pretty iffy but I bought it anyways like I do with most games in a series. If Fallout 3 is a stinky heap when its released Ill still buy it!  |

The problem is Oblivion made my soul hollow; the world leveling and lack of any characterisation made Thiefy a sad panda  |

I use francesco's encounters mod for Oblivion and I find the game much more fun.
I was disappointed that they did away with a few things but I loved it.
As for vista I have a copy of the game installed on my brother's rig but I haven't played online on it. I think the system itself works but it has it's annoying foibles.
As for Fallout 3, I am also looking forward to getting it this winter, for the lay off season. I know I'll be playing it for 12 to 14 hours a day for two or three days exploring the different character builds and the game itself. If it is like Oblivion in it's side tracking diversions from the main story, I may never finish it. this is a good thing in my opinion.

Indeed.. 300 hours into oblivion and I never beat it lol, 125 into mass effect and I beat it, but it was a great game!
As for everything leveling up with you, yeah it kind of sucks, but I dont mind as much as no combat on horseback.. geez.

I bought a new computer today since my laptop has been strained over the last year with my insane amounts of gaming. Doubt it will solve the problem but at least it'll give me some better performance I haven't been on the server much at all recently because my friend has been in work. I hope to return soon. |
