The last installation I had with NWN never crashed.

I reinstalled it recently ( a few months ago ) and played the official campaign and all went fine always always always.

On Amia, I seem to crash almsot consistently approximately every two hours. Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less, but it's an average. I also seem to crash more on server A.

Sometimes it crashes when lotsa flashy effects are on, sometimes in simple conversation in a secluded area with another PC.

What happens is this:

The screen freezes for about....say 30 seconds to 1 minute and then a little error message appears asks me if I want to close NWN. Actually I don't much choice as it's frozen.

Sometimes the music just loops and loops while it happens, sometimes not.

In a , say 6 hour playtime it usually crashes from 2-4 times.

Anyone have any idea what's going on, how to find out, how to solve this?

It's really annoying BTW.

It's probably something with your graphics card. The single player game uses less graphic intensive tile sets and there's not quite as much going on.

Try turning your video settings back a notch or two at a time and see if that helps you out at all.

Alright, gonna play for a while and as soon as I get the error message i'll post it here. I'm gonna figure it out!

My suggestions:

Turn of Shiny Water.

Try to see what tilesets you're crashing in, if there's any patterns to your crashes or perhaps specific monsters.

Update your drivers.

ATI or Nvidia?

Turn off ATI A.I. in case of Ati. Removing the ATI CC from startup resolved a couple of tileset issues alltogehter back when I used ATI.

Erm...my card is a ATI radeon hd 4670 agp.

And....what am I supposed to do again concerning ATI cards? I'm confused.... Turn off "what"?

Oh and it didn't crash yesterday for the last 3 hours I played...guess I was lucky.

Catalyst A.I. - turn it off in CC, better yet, run msconfig and turn off the ATI CC completely for windows startup. Try again then.

I crash VERY often when i enter the underport market. Some players told me they expirienced the same. Other than that i dont have too many issues (safe alt-tabbing). Maybe something is wrong with this place.

I crash about the same frequency.

Ususally when trying to do things to much.
Running around hasted with a monk or cycling every crafting colour can get me killed.
Or zooming in and out while running (which I tend to do a lot).

Unfortunately I can't offer a solution. It doesn't bother me that much since in total I lose about a minute because of it.

Haven't crashed again since I posted, yay!

Oh actually I crashed once. Anyhow, I'm gonna try that ati thingy.
