PC has become epileptic

Post by Mulu » Fri Dec 22, 2006 4:00 am

Cerridwen has suddenly started shaking constantly and lag hopping rather than walking. I swear I didn't break her computer....

The graphics symptoms have gotten so bad they've made the game unplayable, and I tried putting in a new gfx card, but it didn't help. Also tried doing a critical rebuild, and resetting the video options lower. I'm stumped.

System:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800
1 gig RAM
On board gfx card: nVidia 6100 512 MB
Upgraded gfx card: nVidia 7900gs 256MB

Multicore processor? There's an option to set in your nwnplayer.ini, Client Processor Affinity. Default is -1. You want to change it to 0 or 1.

Ah, I did this for mine but not for hers. Will try that, thanks!

Yep, same thing happened to mine until I put NWN to core 0 and Skype to core 1.
