Bioware's epic RPG lets players choose between a noble paladin, a sly rogue, or a powerful mage on a quest to erradicate a plague that's afflicting Neverwinter and to save the world from a powerful foe that is once again on the rise.
I bought NWN Diamond edition about 3 years ago I believe, but I have been hearing about problems when trying to play it on Vista, does anyone here play it? and if so on what OS, Thanks : )
I have the Neverwinter Nights Deluxe Edition here, even so the box says its Windows7 and Vista compatible, so far I haven't managed to make it work on Windows Vista. When trying to start the thing, it launches a process background (nwnmain.exe) and then doesn't do anything. Updating to 1.6.9 didn't help either. The tools do seem to work, just not the main game.
Game seems to runs fine in Linux under Wine and on an old Windows98 machine.
" Can't remember whether I ever tried NWN with Vista. I'm gathering everybody's tried running in compatibility mode as admin? "
Tried that, I switched admin and compatibility on for every NWN related .exe I could find, no luck. Still doesn't start. All files in NWN/logs/ are empty, so no hint that would help debugging from that either.
I have given up on Vista, I'll just play it now in Linux instead, where it works pretty much perfectly in Wine as far as I can tell so far. Now if only the fonts would be bigger when switching to bigger resolution, even their high res font option gives rather tiny fonts.
