December 31, 200817 yr Just wondering if any one else is trying to get neverwinter nights and nights 2 to work under windows vista hi. Have my doubts about nwn1 considering how old it is but I have heard of folks running nwn2 on vista.

December 31, 200817 yr All you need to do to get NWN 1 working is to patch to 1.68 or 1.69 - if you use the latter you must then re-make the shortcut so you launch the actual .exe as the launcher no longer works (it will cause a CTD as soon as the game launches). NWN 2 does not, as far as I know, need any tweaking to run on Vista. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
December 31, 200817 yr I had some crashes with MotB on Vista 64. I messed with some graphic settings in the game and so far it's been working. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan

Interesting.. nwn2 has worked fine on my XP 64 platform without issue.

December 31, 200817 yr I don't know that 64 bit has much to do with it. NWN2 crashed quite a bit on my 32 bit XP machine, especially towards the end of the game. MotB ran rock solid on that machine (except for the horrible lag, but that's a spec issue). When I started it on Vista, it got many crashes, which I'm pretty sure are related to the video driver, but I seem to have accidentally fixed it, at least so far.

January 5, 200917 yr NWN2 runs on Vista flawlessly, and I seem to remember that NWN1 (patched to the latest version) also runs on Vista. Edited January 5, 200917 yr by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.
January 5, 200917 yr ...and I seem to remember that NWN1 (patched to the latest version) also runs on Vista. Nope. You only need the 1.68 patch, not the current 1.69 one. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
