Ive recently upgraded my PC and my nwn has stopped working,It goes as far as the main menu but then the screen dies but the game keeps running,.
Ive upgraded to a quadcore processor and a gigabyte ga-73pvm-sh2 board with 2GB of ram anyone got any ideas on whats up?

My guesses:
1.) Maybe your settings in your nwnconfig.ini settings are still pointing to your old specs? Check it out (If default C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwnconfig.ini ) There is also the nwnconfig.exe utility. You may want to try it and select "change" when it opens up and go through that prompt.
2.) Do a critical rebuild.

Would this happen to be on a Vista platform? If so, Vista and my duel-core processor made me create quick launches to the Player and DM clients, and to the toolset.
For the DM Client
Code: Select all
C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain.exe -dmc
For the Player Client
Code: Select all
C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain.exe
For the Toolset
Code: Select all
C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\RunNWNToolset.bat
But the toolset is a little more involved. You need to create a .bat file. Its easier than it sounds.
1. Open Notepad, or any basic text editor.
2. Type the following line of code:
Code: Select all
start /affinity 0x01 nwtoolset.exe
3. Save it with the name RunNWNToolset
4. Change the extension of the file to .bat
Hope that helps.

Sounds like the outdated Nvidia driver issues if the game appears to keep running with a black screen.

Actually, Bioware added an affinity flag in 1.68 or 1.69.
nwntoolset.ini -> [Start Up] -> CPU Affinity=0 [or the number of your desired CPU]
