| Crashing while Saving Game |
|
For all the games I've played, it's been incredibly rare for a crash to occur while it's being saved (I save games often and frequently during game sessions). However, with NWN, it's becoming incredibly commonplace.
I sometimes save over an existing file, and sometimes I save to a new file. The problem has always existed for me, but it used to occur only occasionally. Now, however, during every 4th save or so, the game will freeze and/or crash to the desktop. And of course the file that I tried to save somehow gets corrupted and will no longer appear as a selectable file to load when I start-up the game again, forcing me to go back and load the previous saved file. I'm getting more and more frustrated with my character having to do the same things over and over again because of this problem.
Have the latest NWN patch and drivers for my system, and have experienced no graphics or sound problems at all with this game. I have never once crashed while PLAYING the game -- problem only occurs while in the process of SAVING a game.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on and how to correct this problem? |

Sorry for the drill, but you need to give all your system specs for help. I had several issues with NWN until I tweaked my system to support it. I had to use an older driver version for my video card (there are still some issues with some cards and NWN and with some of the newer drivers) and upgrade my ram before the problems went away.

You nailed it, Pinnen. I've no mods or hacks implemented in my game EXCEPT a custom portrait. Replaced it with a default portrait and lo, the errors with saving games went away. I would have thought a bad or corrupted portrait would cause problems while PLAYING the game, not just when SAVING a game. Nice catch, my friend. |

Lintra shakes his head in disbelief. He looks at his screen again. He checks the forum. He rubs his eyes and checks the screen again. He gets up walks around the office for few minutes, comes back. But the screen has not changed! "There can't be TWO Pinnens" he mutters to himself ....
@Pinnen, I didn't know you played NWN at all. Did you enjoy it? What did you think ... have you tried the mods.

Oh Iīve played it allright. And some modules too, Shadowlords 1-5 and Dreamcather 1-3 last. Very good, I must say. Now Iīm not sure if Iīm going to try Call for Heroes or Citadel of Blood.
I managed to finish the OC after four or so tries, then got caught in trying to mod the game to fit me. Now that I have it like I want (mostly) Iīm finally starting to try out some mods. Iīve downloaded Ekims Tower, but havenīt started it yet.

I wish I had internet access at home ... There are a ton of mods I'd love to try out ... but updating to the latest version by downloading the update file and spanning disc's while zipping is a pain the you-know-what. Not to mention zipping the mods!
Anyway, I am glad you enjoyed it. The best part of the experience is the mods!

It sure is. Both a pain and about the experience, if you get my meaning.
Itīs good to see that there are so many talented people out there, many of the mods and haks are far superior to the original game. Just take Lady Bloods weapon models for instance. Great work if you ask me.

Arg! You whet my appetite!! Anything concerning weapons by a Lady Blood is a must see. I am sorry I have no idea where to find it, or what it does. So...where do I find it? And what does it do?

Hereare liks to her weapons found on The Vault.Theyīre all hakpaks, so they can only be used in custom modules, unless you extract the contents of the hak into your override folder. That way you can make your own module, create Glamdring or Sting or a nice dagger, load the module with your favorite character, pick up the weapon, export character and bingo! weapon will follow. Beware though that if you play a module that uses other custom content, the weapon you just created mayget replaced by another.
This procedure goes for just about anything; heads, clothes, armor, swords, axes, bows. My character as of now are so heavily modifed I think itīs a miracle any module starts up at all. But she is a beauy...

Many thanks Pinnen! I will post these links in my favorites ... waiting for the time when I get an internet connection at home ... although that time seems far off. Mrs Lintra is concerned about our monthly expenses here in the land of volcanic rock, crazy beautiful beaches, and tourist driven prices.
Come to think of it, the tourists aren't the real drivers of price around here, it is the cash rich companies. Most execs that move here get a housing allowance to cover the high cost of rents ... the AVERAGE package for a high ranking official is $6,000/month!!! Talk about an artificial inflation!

No, it means that over paid ex-pats get even more money to spend on the limited supply of houses driving up prices across the board.
Ex pats can not own property on Bermuda, only Bermudians (for obvious reasons ... it is a small island), so all these guys RENT houses... nay, palaces in some cases.
A truly disgusting (only because I can't do it *g*) ostentatious display. Conspicious consuption at it's nadir!
