NWN on VM - Disappearing NPCs/PCs
« on: April 08, 2011, 08:06:42 pm »


               I have a Windows XP virtual machine running via Hyper-V on a Windows 2008 box.  Having set up the dedicated server program and NWNX2, I started it up, and immediately players reported that other players and NPCs/Monsters would spawn invisible.

I'm in the process of installing Win 7/Server 2008 to see if it still happens, but am baffled as to what might be the cause.

               We've had some similar problems. My server is running VirtualBox and NWNX2. Players have reported the in-game time has been speeding up and bouncing around like crazy. I think this is, in turn, causing our spawn scripts to not fire. (NESS seems to be based on the in-game year. If it gets too high, NPCs stop spawning).

Wish I had more info, but maybe someone will have a solution to our problems!

               I'm having the same issue you guys are, but I'm on a Windows 7 x64 host and windows XP guest.  I'll bookmark this thread to see if you guys have any developments on it and i'll keep you posted on my findings as well.
