Technical help needed!

Post by Xarge VI » Sat Aug 15, 2015 7:18 pm

Okay so my computer's hard drive broke. I had to change the hard drive to another one.
I play NWN through an USB stick, like I've done for a while.
Now however when I try to play NWN it gets unbearably slow.

Is there anything I can do to fix the issue?

Transfer the files from the stick to your machine, to a newer (and probably better) stick. If it still runs slower, get a new usb port.

Optionally, just transfer it off of your stick onto your hard drive. I recommend slapping it into C: so you never have to work to find it when you want to add haks/overrides/etc.

If everything else is the same, I'd suspect the driver you're using for your USB controller.

Ah well. I moved Nwn to a hard drive and the problem presisted.

Okay this is awkward. We forgot to install a driver for the graphics card. Problem solved.
