Topic: Neverwinter Nights 2 makes my computer cry.

Is it just me or does this game run like shit. Even with everything set in the middle I am getting frame-rates in the mid 20s at best during battle. I tried installing it on my older P4 machine and it was even worse.

Are there any secrets here to getting better performance out of this game? Perhaps something consistently over 30.

Teehee.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

Are you going to even try to be helpful or just an ass?

As I said before, you only make two kinds of posts here anymore. And here you are making one of them again. "Hi! Look at this cool stuff I bought! " "Please help me! I pretend to know a lot when I buy stuff, but I really don't! "


Edit: to answer your question: I'm just going to be an ass. That cool with you?

I'm just gonna be an ass and say you wasted $50 - $60.

Plus whatever you spent on your latest useless purchase.

It runs fine on my MBP. I suspect you're learning how badly games run on Xeons and the quite old P4s.

I post when I have a reason to post or have a few extra minutes to post. I could really care less if you or anyone less doesn't like when I post or what I post about. I stopped caring much about what anyone at EC says or does about the time idiots like you started taking over the boards. Occasionally it is good for bits of amusement to see people like you try to boost themselves up by insulting me or someone else but other than that it usually isn't worth the time to it takes to post on here or read 75% of the threads.

It ended up being a driver issue with my graphics card. Seeems to run fine now that I have updated to ATI's newest release.

Enjoy the horrible, rushed, Act 3 and similar ending.

I wanted to break my disks in half after that.

Great. I was hoping this would be as good as the original. Guess games just arn't what they used to be.

Oh don't get me wrong, the game itself is fun and great to play through.

Just be prepared for a crap ending with a horrible voice-over from a dev because they ran out of voice-over money.

Not just voice over money but writer money too. I mean WTF was up with that? God I never was disappointed with a game ending before until now....
