I found that even with the minimum system requirements and the settings turned down a notch the game still runs a bit sluggish ie took 2 mins to load a new area and the game didn't run smoothly whilst playing. Well I don't have that problem now with my new pc up and running.  |

Having just downloaded the 1.32 patch, I say try that. The list of changes includes a fix for(quoted directly): a major frame rate problem. That might be it. |

Everything's minimum, and it doesn't help. How exactly do I check the existing system specs? |

Anyone think they could help a computer-illiterate old wyrm?
I'll play tech support if you want me to Bookwyrm.
So we don't take up valuable forum space, email me here Yasraena with the specifics if you're so inclined and I'll see if I can help.
Here's a few things to keep in mind in the meantime...
Make sure you have at least the minimum system requirements to run the game. (processor, RAM, Video card, DirectX version)
Make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card.
Try turning down the resolution, graphic quality and/or sound quality of the game. (High res sounds are notorious performance eaters) |

Oh did I say NWN gold, I meant NWN gold edition including the expansion. So now you know why it'll take me a few weeks, plus I work during the day coz some of us don't have the luxury of sitting infront of the pc 24-7. |

I just recently got NWN gold off a friend. Since I haven't started the game yet I'll be looking forward to it esp since I didn't get to finish the first NWN ed. coz my crappy pc wasn't up to standard a year ago. Well if I'm a bit quiet over the next few weeks then you'll all know why. |

Wooo hoooooo, well it arrived today, thanks William 
The box is HUGE! its gotta be about 3 inches deep, very well presented with embossed cover image and all the contents are laid within sections of a hard felt moulding within the box. The quality is second to none. The long-sleeve shirt is within a silver bag with the NWN stamped upon. Nice quality mousemat. The poster is beautiful and is made of material rather than paper!
Once of the best items is the Art Book....WOW!
This is a must have for all NWN and FR fans! A beautifully presented product....I was expecting it to be good.....but this is DAMN GOOD! |

Well,start a new thread and tell us about the Jade Empire because I haven't any idea what its about.

I wonder why they made a mouse pad instead of a Heavyduty wall poster map.I know the cloth map has already been done because I have one but how many people still use a mouse pad? Or should I ask how many people still use a mouse with a ball? Optical is the only way. |

I think you're right on the NWN Gold.
I have obtained a NWN Collectors edition on ebay.I'll tell you all about how nice it is and how little I paid for it next week.
HA,Rad...bloody top that one bloke. Wait put the sword away Rad.
Rad,if you haven't gotten one yet search ebay thoroughly,I found a buy now at half what it would cost to order.good luck. |

Hey if you guys want it, I'd suggest ordering through Amazon.com, they just put it to 50% off ($39.99) as of today, it appears, cause yesterday or the day before it was still $69.99
Just thought i'd let you know... oh and there's also an expansion coming out for it too, if you search for Neverwinter Nights, it'll pop up the name of the expansion |

Just following a couple of links, I ended up at Gamestop. They are charging $20.99 shipping for NWN Collectors edition. Not too bad considering, I suppose! I still shouldnt be necessary though  |

*dumps a bunch of snow on Mumadar*  I think you know what that's for.
It's a shame I can't order stuff on my own yet...
Rad, thank you for making this post. It looks like I have a new B-day gift to ask for! And as usual, I'm going to tell you that it's not really easy in the US to get stuff either. I still have to go to B&N to get some books- BECAUSE THEY CAN BE FOUND NO WHERE ELSE WITHIN AT LEAST 1 HOUR FROM MY HOUSE! |

Anyway, if any of you lucky Americans\Canadians buys this new collectors edition..... what do you think of it? is it really worth buying it again? Whats the extra stuff like? I particularly like the sound of the artbook! ::drool:: |

Posted - 19 Dec 2002 : 04:28:33
A suggestion if you want alot of stuff not available over seas... just get it sent to a trusted person in the states or canada (canada is able to purchase all things available only in the US, generally speaking) Have it shipped to them and for a few bucks maybe 6-10 US you can have it shipped overseas....
or just hoound the companies until they do it themselves ;)

You rant away til your hearts content Mumadar, and ill certainly stand on the front line with you!
I constantly feel discriminated against for not being American! My ancient rant has been on the availability of D&D material over here, the advertising and distribution is abysmal and really gets my back up! Not just because I cant get my hands on the stuff, but because the publishers just dont seem to care about fans outside the US! And now theres also an issue with UK Dragon subscribers! I certainly wont be renewing!
Back to this issue, id LOVE to get my hands on the collectors edition as theres much other material, other than that actual game which i already have, that would be very useful and enjoyable to me (the soundtrack CD, artbook being the greatest asset IMO). I believe that Baldurs Gate and Icewind Dale were both released in collectors editions........which I never saw in stores over here in the UK.
All this finally wears me down so much that I just feel like giving up and abandoning the whole thing! It shouldnt have to be a fight to locate and purchase products of my hobby! Its only my determination, stubborness and love for the Realms that makes me strive to collect it all...... how many other fans havent got the determination and have given up? I know of two of my friends who have only this year.
