Just got the game and ran into a major bug making the game unplayable.

[Legacy_whitehawk74]

               HI folks, sorry if this has been posted in the wrong area, but i did do a search.

None of the characters are turning up. They have a halo around them, and i can see their shadows, but other than that they are invisible (and no, its not a spell, its from the very beginning)
my video card is an ATI3850, not that it should matter, and i have all the latest drivers (and previous drivers just in case ATI releases a dud)

I have the Diamond Pack btw, fully patched.
Running standard Windows XP Sp2.. what i've been running for years...

I have played the original before so i know what its meant to look like, and i loved it so i thought, yeah, i'll get the whole thing again but with all the expansions.
seems like i cant play the damn thing.
Please help. I know the game is great, but at the moment its just a $40 paper-weight '>
Thanks in advance.

               go into the vid card settings and turn it down take it off high quality try mid range happened too me seems the high end card tend too make certain games not rendor right, see if that helps.

               especially older games the vid card setting on the desktop not the settings in the game.

               Try unchecking the "show environmental effects on characters" checkbox in nwn video settings and make sure the catalyst AI is turned off or down.



Good Luck '>

Whitehawk74,
you might want to check for an update to your video drivers. The last
two versions of catalyst I have used haven't needed that work around (tho we do have different cards sooooo ). Anyway, just a thought.

Have fun '>
