Delixe: It has but obviously the version I have has it. I think there is something going wrong with it's removal. Could be the way the patch works with 7. I just don't know.
Actually, I've heard (this was in the 1.68 days on XP mind you) that the problem is an incompatibility between the 100-series ForceWare drivers and OpenGL. Strange that the original version doesn't have that problem. Maybe they only compiled against OpenGL 1.3 instead of 2.0? Don't know.
As for DRM getting my goat, I've had my share: I bought a copy of NWN Diamond (online) with no CD-Key printed on the manual (WTF?)
In the NWN2 days, (I bought from a local store to avoid the first issue) I got burned by the 1) SecuROM had issues with the fact that I had (real) SCSI hard drives and a IDE DVD drive (or maybe it was a SATA DVD and IDE hard drives - probably both). Then I got burned by 2) Install limits. It was either set to 3 or 5. I formatted and adjusted my system too many times, and Atari was not very kind about it - they basically told me I was out of luck. I make sure that games don't have StarForce (the CD Killer, they owe me 2 drives), SecuROM, or anthing that requires online connectivity (Steam, Ubisoft, etc...)
