Th0rx669: What's a DxDiag?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DxDiag

That explains it much better than I can. However, when I refer to a DxDiag file, I am referring to the text file you get when you click on the "Collect System Information" tab in the Direct X Diagnostics program. To access it, just type DxDiag in the Windows Run bar when you press the Start button.

Th0rx669: So, I played NWN on Vista, and it worked without a problem. But I recently installed Windows 7, and reinstalled NWN. It installs fine, and the launcher works. But when I press play, the splash screen comes up for a few seconds, then goes away.
Someone fixed their NWN with these settings:

In case the link goes bad, here's the critical bit:

[i]
In ‘nwn.ini’, set the following in the [Display Options] section:
AllowWindowedMode=1
FullScreen=0
In ‘nwnplayer.ini’, set the following in the [Game Options] section:
Client CPU Affinity=1
And finally, in ‘nwnconfig.ini’, set the following in the [Processor] section (note that the ‘Speed’ setting should be your speed in Mhz):
NumCPUs=1
Speed=3000
[/i]

This, unfortunately, did not work :/
And I couldn't find nwnconfig.ini, even when I searched it

That's because it's nwconfig.ini, not nwnconfig.ini

The file should be there in your main NWN installation folder along with the other .ini files (nwncdkey, nwnplayer, nwn, etc.) I just checked my install and it's there (I'm also on Win7).

Ok, found it. But it had hardly anything it in:
[Registry]
Location=C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition\
Path=C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition\
[Version]
Game=1.69


Am I supposed to add in [Processor]?

Hmmm, that's odd. It's in mine. The very top is [Version], then [OS] under that. A couple lines further down is [Processor].

I note you have the game installed in Program Files (x86). I don't know if it would make a difference in your case, but it's recommended to install games outside Programs or Programs (x86). Something like C:\Games. This is due to the fact that Win7 protections tend to really give problems with games in the Programs folders.

I've installed it in many different locations lol.

Could you send me your nwconfig.ini?

I'll give you my [Processor] info:

[Processor]
Type=Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
Vendor=GenuineIntel
NumCPUs=255
Speed=2698
Result=2
Skip=0



Note my CPU number is 255. LOL I haven't noticed any issues with the game, so I left it alone.
