I have bought NWN2 in the last sale and I want to play this game again. My PC is much better than the recommended.
With all the graphic setting in the higgest position the game runs excelent, but the problem appears when the characters in the game walk o run. I'm not sure if this is the correct word in english for what is happening... but the movement of the character seems "labored" when run, walk o rotate.
Have anyone had this problem? Is there any idea of how can I fix this? Is very annoying that the entire game runs well but this movement thing dosen't.
Thanks for your time.

The animations for the game are somewhat awkward. Is this what you mean or are you experiencing something like lagging where the movement hesitates and stutters? If it just looks awkward, then that's likely just the normal animations. They definitely don't look like normal movement.

I know the movements in the game are weird. I have played the game, and I am sure that this is not how the game "is". The movement seems to be cut or something like that. I'll try to "film" my pc and show what's going on.
I think stutters is the word I'd use.

Yeah, I realize you said you'd played the game before. Just wanted to be certain that wasn't the issue. Yeah, if you can get some video of what the issue is, that would help a lot. Hopefully someone can figure it out. :)

I restarted the PC. Now the game works perfect.
Thanks both of you for helping me.

Awesome! Nice work, DeMignon.

I know this is a real old thread, and people don't seem to like these old threads being resurrected too often, but I am also having to use this client extension quite a lot.

I do have my own thoughts on it though.....

- this client extension does seem to have problems and bugs of it's own, NWN2 is more unstable and more prone to crashing when using it. I have also had one or two other NWN2 maps refuse to load whilst using this extension, with lots of cryptic error messages. When not using the extension they work fine.
- this lag problem does not happen in all areas of the game, so I only use it when in a map that does suffer lag very badly, such as the very first maps in West Harbour when first starting a brand new game off, and the maps in Storm of Zehir seem to suffer lag a lot.
- a common solution given is to "reboot the computer" because the lag gradually "builds up" the longer you play, well I find that is false in my case, the lag is there from the very start and remains the same with time.
- it's not a frame rate issue, rotating and panning the camera is smooth as butter. The lag affects your character and other party members movement across the map. Sometimes also affects wandering NPCs, they lag also as they walk around - sometimes sliding across the map with no walking animations.
- this client extension does seem quite an old version, I was wondering if there are any newer ones around?
- keeps the still valid link given in this thread up near the top of the board so as to make it easier to find for other players having problems! Maybe a "sticky" should get put up with the link?

Thanks!

It's much easier to use the .dll fix for this problem, you just drop the .dll into your game folder where the nwn2 exe is. There's no need to use the client extension unless you want its extra features.
