WOOHOOO! 1.10 Patch for NWN2 is up!

[thepixiesrock]

I'm averaging about 1% every minute. Just 75 minutes left guys!

[thepixiesrock]

Shoot! My progress has decreased to one fourth it's original speed!

[thepixiesrock]

Oh wait, nevermind, it was timed out again. **** this.

[lurchman]

So 1.10 is really just 1.07

 

From what I read, patch 1.07 was halted. Patch 1.10 has been issued and is for smoothing out the installation of MotB only. 1.07 is for OC fixes, and will come out later. They were afraid that if 1.07 was installed first, it might cause problems with 1.10.

[Dark_Raven]

Oh wow, oh wow!

Installing this patch caused a major problem for me. Characters no longer move, they "jump" for a lack of a better move. The animation is fine, but they don't walk smoothly, they just teleport short distances over and over until they reach their destination.

 

Maybe it's related to the beta patch I reverted from before updating. Am completely reinstalling then updating from that.

 

Edit: HAHAHAHAHA And now my fresh installation won't update at all. Is it because it is Direct2Drive?

Edit2: Just remembered, ran it once, and it's updating now.

Edit3: Fixt

At first I thought I had gotten a HUGE increase in performance. But then I realized that the game had reverted all my settings from maximum to medium. When I turned it all on again I can't say I noticed anything remarkably different.

 

I cleared out some Eyegouger lair last night (in the vain hopes of finishing Neverwinter Nights 2 before the expansion comes out).. Horribly boring. And I've been fighting with the camera the entire time. I still don't know how to switch from Strategy mode to Character mode (where it's supposed to let the camera follow my character when it turns. Maybe I just have to admit defeat and realize that this game just isn't for me.

It's the numpad *

 

The keymap-tab in the options lists it as player mode or something like that.

[Tigranes]

I just don't use the modes, because NWN2 is a lot more claustrophobic than games like KOTOR, where it's built to support the behind-the-cam mode. NWN2 in the IE tradition has a lot more narrow or packed areas, making it difficult to navigate that way. I'm perfectly happy sticking it in strategy mode anyway, maybe that's why the camera has never bothered me that much in NWN1 or 2.

Couldn't find the asterisk key on the number pad? How did you change the camera positioning before?!?!?!

[mkreku]

Uhm.. I went into the menu.. :blush10:

 

Thanks for the tip though. I'll try it right now.

 

Just an example how my screen looked most of the time last night.

 

And don't you dare laugh at my buld or party!!

What the hell are you wearing on your head?

Try this link at Bioware. Has some camera fixes.

Good luck

[mkreku]

I have no idea. I'm not so bothered with checking the stats on stuff. I usually only don the things that make my holy paladin look the silliest. Great tactics for a D&D character build, huh?

[Pidesco]

It's the only way.

[thepixiesrock]

Ok, these patches are downloading a lot better today.

Installing this patch caused a major problem for me. Characters no longer move, they "jump" for a lack of a better move. The animation is fine, but they don't walk smoothly, they just teleport short distances over and over until they reach their destination.

well, i had sort of a similar problem with the 1.07 beta. really, the critters didn't teleport or "jump," but they smoothly moved from one place to the next without any movement animations, at least not their legs. sorta looked like they were on conveyor belts.

 

i've found several problems with the 1.07 patch. the menu options refuse to stick sometimes, e.g. i'll select "medium shadows" and once i click on "apply," it will jump to something else (typically lower). given that i've got an 8800GTS and a 6600 core2duo, performance should not be an issue whatsoever, so there's no reason some automatic feature should change things on me.

 

either way, there were some decent performance improvements even with the 1.07 beta. with most settings on high, i was getting 50+ fps indoors and out, sometimes averaging 70+ depending upon the number of items on the screen and general graphical displays (spells, etc.). either way, when i was running the game will everything happening and mostly maxed out graphics, it never dropped below 25-30 fps.

Without this patch my game is running horribly. I have everything on the lowest settings, and it looks terrible and plays terribly. Maybe this new patch might fix these problems. It's a fairly new laptop, so I thought I'd be ok, and my first play through when I first got the game like, six months ago, wasn't super good, but it was good enough to be playable. Just minor lag. Now it' getting pretty bad. My computer must really suck or soemthing.

The inventory sorter is very odd.

[GreasyDogMeat]

So far I love the new patch.

 

The inventory sorter is a blessing for me. It auto arranges equipment by type, so once you press it it places weapons by weapons, healing potions by others etc. While it isn't the list style inventory I'd hoped for, it is a major improvement. My only complaint is I wish it would only sort items on the current page you are looking at. For instance, I often place quest items on page 4, but after I hit the sort button it brings and sorts everything onto the first page, and once it fills up the first it places them on the second.

 

Once Mask of the Betrayer comes out, I'll replay NwN 2, perhaps with one of the new races/classes and then export over to Mask. Currently I've been playing some of the top rated community modules as well as remake modules.

Any good ones? The Adam Miller one started well, but I haven't even finished NWN2 yet so I didn't play much.

[thepixiesrock]

The first time I played after updating ran better than ever. But now when I go back it runs pretty poorly. Maybe I changed some settings I shouldn't have.

[Oerwinde]

Mine actually runs worse than it did before the update. To get it to run any better than 15 FPS I have to turn off all shadows, Anti Aliasing, and basically all the video effects like bloom and such.

 

I have a Pentium D 3.2, 2 gigs of ram, and a Geforce 7600 GT

[Pidesco]

What's your resolution? I'm running practically the same system as you, and NWN2 is smooth as butter with everything maxed except for AA at 1024*768. It's so good I'm even thinking of changing to 1280*960.

[Oerwinde]

running at 1024*768
