Neverwinter Nights Diamond + GTX 295 + Vista 32bit

I just installed Neverwinter Nights Diamond in my gaming PC:

Specs:

video card: nVIDIA GTX 295

OS: Vista 32bit Ultimate

Ram: 4GB, 3GB usable due to Vista being 32bit

It epic SUCKS...er fails, I mean.

I have used the 2 official patches, tried to run it, no go.

I tried to run it using Windows XP compatibility mode, with all sorts of compatibility options and combination of said options, to no avail.

In fact, I feel like I can only play this in an XP system...which is my laptop.

It would be nice to play it in my gaming PC. I am yet to finish all of it.

Any suggestions?

I just bought Neverwinter Nights Diamond as well. It runs well on my new PC so I'm not sure what the problem is. Your computer is more than good enough to play it. However, I am using XP. I would search around and see if the game is not running because of Vista, and if so, if there is a fix. Otherwise you may have to play it on your laptop.Ninja_Dog

It is because of Vista. That is certain. It is certain too, however, that Bioware stopped supporting it a long time ago.

Too bad for Bioware.

Worked fine on Vista for me without changing a single thing. Try the compatibility mode or run it as an administrator if you didn't try that already.

Just guessing here, but the 295 is basically a SLI card with two GPUs. Is there any way to turn of one of the GPUs? Google: NWN SLI graphics

There are links and also solutions.

Did you try the 1.69 critical rebuild patch?

Yep I did try that.

I forget...but I have applied the first two critical rebuilds. I can't say if I have applied 1.69, but if it is a 3rd critical rebuild, then I have not.

Then it must be the absence of the 1.69 critical rebuild patch in my gaming PC.

I have the 1.69 critical rebuild...and yet it won't work in Vista???
