Hi all,
I just started playing NWN. Is an awesome game thus far, but I am having problems.
At first, it wasn't that big of a problem. Didn't seem to happen often. But now it happens all the time.
I completed the first quest in getting the jail liberated. Now, I'm trying to do the beggers quarter quest. These problems crop up. Here they are:
Firstly, the game freezes a whole bunch whenever it loads a new area. Like when I'm going into a house, boom it freezes. Always at the same point also. A bit over 3/4 from loading. A little white dot appears in the top left corner. Not sure of its significance except it looks like it might part of the mouse. You know, when you have it mostly off the screen but can still see a tip.
Here is the other problem. When I then go and try to load a game, it sometimes says "cannot load moduel, it appears to be corrupted." This seems to happen when I am loading a game that was fairly close to where the freeze happened (like if I save near a door that leads to another map). So I'm saving all the time in different saves just so I don't have to go back way far to try again.
But now, I get the freezing problem 100% of the time at this one point. It is when I am trying to go to the lower level in the Serpent Cults house. It loads a bit over 3/4 of the way and freezes. I have tried about 6 times, no go. In the past with these freezes I would generally get through to the next level on the 2nd or 3rd try. Not here. Don't know what the corrolation would be though.
Here is my rig, and please ask any questions so I can get this solved. I really want to play this game and this weekend me and a friend were going to go adventuring if possible so if I can fix it that would be great. Thanks
Rig:
1.33ghz Athlon T-Bird
512mb PC 2100 DDR Crucial RAM
Leadtek Geforce 3 w/28.32 nvidia reference drivers
Hercules Game Theatre XP w/4.1 drivers
MSI K7 Master Motherboard
Windows XP Pro, all updates.
I tried messing around with the drivers. Went back farther to old drivers, and tried some unreleased beta drivers. Didn't help at all. In fact, the unreleased beta drivers made it worse. Couldn't even boot the game.
And, just to be more specific, the place that I am encountering where it is loading and always freezes is "Beggers Nest: Crypts"
BTW... I should also note that I just installed a new hard drive and am playing off of it (my other one just failed). So this is a fresh install and I haven't loaded any anti-virus, firewall, cd copying, or anything else that might conflict. Pretty much I installed the OS and was excited to play the game so it was the first thing I installed after all my updates.
Any help greatly appreciated.
