I attempted a reinstall to fix this but it didn't help.
When I zone into the exterior area of Mystra's Monolith, beginning as soon as the area loads, my FPS drops to some tiny fraction. It takes a minute or so for another frame to appear, and I cant move or take any action and am forced to force quit NWN.
Is this a known video issues with some areas?

I used to crash loading in that area actually.
Had to turn off environmental mapping to stop it.

I'll give that a shot.
EDIT: Didn't work. however, I managed to get it to fix itself by tabbing out and back in. No idea why that fixes it (maybe resets the video processing or something) but it works. Still slows down to a crawl zoning into the area every time though.
EDIT2: Nevermind. Now everything is garbbled and it looks like something out of dothack or the Matrix.
EDIT3: Well @#$%. Now I can't get NWN to behave anywhere, but I can't find an issue in my other games and programs. I won't be able to log in again until I figure out what the heck went haywire.
Uh ... Drannok is in the Monolith busy with research >_>
*cries*

NW is a rather old game that runs on OpenGL 2. Especially nVidia's support for that is getting worse with every new driver. There's a few topics on it in the BioWare forums.

*cries some more*
My video card is brand new and I was afraid of this. My old one blew up, and I replaced my entire computer.
I still use Dx9.0c (because 10 is computer suicide) at least.
I hope I can find a solution.
EDIT: And yes, it's Nvidia.

It makes my video card cry tears of blood whenever I go there ... constantly makes it overheat.

NWN doesn't even support DirectX 10. 9.0 wasn't out when NWN was released. You have little control over "using" a specific version.
As for the GeForce 9300, I've got one myself in my cheap ass office PC and it can't run NWN at 1680x1050 with everything maxed out and AA disabled.
So it's all about turning down your settings.

I've been hearing a lot of people comment on this. Is there anyway to place the portal crystal inside the monolith instead of outside? That way people with known driver issues on their PCs can just bind inside after piggybacking a port from a friend of other PC, while those without video issues are always free to take the boat or portal wand.
If that's not too much trouble and such...
Added: heard that one cannot portal out on the ground floor and first floor. However I have a PC that routinely portals away on the second floor filled with labs. No idea if it was an oversight or purposeful.

IF there is a bind point added inside, I would ask it to be placed on the first floor. I will say, though, there are IC reservations about such, speaking as a Weave Knight.
However, while there is a block on teleporting and using portals to get out of the first two floors (again, for IC reasons) incoming portals do, in fact, work. Nor is being able to portal out of the above floors an oversight to my knowledge.
A better fix, to my mind, would be solving whatever causes these slowdowns in the actual toolset (naturally, if it is identifiable, and possible).

Nwn crash everytime my Weave Knight char take the transition/door from inside to outside the Monolith.
If I then try to relog her, I got the transition logging screen, but nwn crash again, before I can get in game.
She can't portal out from within the Monolith, not at least from the ground and first floor, I didn't try the upper floors though.
Since she's of the faction she's automatically port to the Monolith from the entrance. Then she's kind of stuck there, since she can't port out, nor can she use the transition.
Also, I logged her on A soon after the crash I had on B, and nwn crashed again, after the entrance transition.
It never happends to any of my other chars, not that they go often at the Monolith, that is.

I'll disable the vfx in the next update. See if that helps.

Okay, just used the transition/door from inside to outside the Monolith and vice-versa a few times, and it seems working fine now, no crashes. Thanks!
Edit: Actually retried once again , crashed, relogged with success, used the transition back and forth a few times more and it seems to works again.
Guess I'll have to try it a few times, to see if it's persistent or not.
