CEP 2.4 Models Issue

[Legacy_LifeAvatar]

               Hey guys!

So I reinstalled NWN Diamond Edition I got from GoG and I installed the CEP 2.4. I never had any issues installing the CEP in the past, but 2.4 just made ALL the models in the game just disappear. There are only shadows.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any fix?

1. Install game using a ]. When you are given the path to the install folder, change the path using the browse folder button so that it is NOT installed in 'programs (x86)', but directly on C drive. Do not make any shortcuts during the install process.

7. (go to the manufacturers of your cards' support pages. Laptop support pages can be very behind the times).

Are saying that you already ran the 1.69 critical rebuild?   Or are you saying that GoG is already up to 1.69? 

if it is the latter,  download and run the critical rebuild. there is really no reason to guess at anything else untill that has been done.

               Already did run the 1.69 critical rebuild. Still no models.

               Do the models appear in the OC?

               Original Campaign? No sir.

               No models in OC? then it's not CEP surely. The OC doesn't use CEP at all. I suggest you investigate your graphics card.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Frith5]

               Yep. If no models are showing in the OC it isn't CEP related. However, you could check your override directory, in case somehow you put something there mistakenly.

               Reinstalled, critical rebuiled, everything's fine. I install CEP2.4, no models.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Zwerkules]

               Quite simple. Don't install CEP then '>

Expand on 'no models' please. This might give us a clue.

               Are you sure you aren't putting anything into your override folder mistakenly? Something in your override (like a CEP .2da file) could do this to all modules including the OC. Short of that, I can see no way a .hak file (ie CEP) can affect a module that doesn't use .hak files.

               What video card are you using?  I seem to recall some ATI cards causing models to dissapear if AA mode was off or in certain modes.  Also may pay to check your catalyst AI settings if it is indeed an ATI issue.  If not,..... I don't know.
