Stuck at loading area

[onlyosiris]

Hey all.

I just bought NWN and decided Neversummer seemed like a fun server to play on. I planned on making an assassin so I started with the Shadow Legion of course. However, a big problem has come up. I get stuck at the loading area screen everytime I try to load the mercenary barracks. I tried making a couple new characters but I get the same result. I then tried making a character with a different faction and I was able to play. However, I really want to make an assassin build. I tried tinkering with resolutions and graphics tweaks but they haven't had any effect.

Anyone have any idea of how I can get past the loading area screen in the mercenary barracks?

Thanks alot.

Try installing a different video driver. Keep in mind that newest does not always provide the best performance in most games.

I'll try to catch you in-game, too. Sometimes all it takes is having a DM manually pull you to the right area one time.

Try this also, I recently installed NWN from a new copy that had the 1.69 update as well as some community mods (Witch's Wake, Kingmaker, etc).
Turns out i still had to use this critical rebuild. I guess someone at bioware forgot to include some things on that disc set...

Critical rebuild patch is at http://files.bioware.com/neverwinternig ... Update.exe (English, win, HoU)

All really good suggestions here.

Hey I got it to work.

I reinstalled NWN and it didn't help. I messed with all the settings and nothing happened. I used the critical rebuild and got the cep 2.4 at the same time and it fixed it. I'm going to assume it was the critical rebuild.

Thanks for the suggestions and help guys.

If it's the animation that hangs, you could try to hit esc or try to move around with the keys. If on win 7, you might have to run as administrator.
