Dude. Explore a feature set before posting some random rant only to change your opinion 36 seconds later Dude, you do not understand... I did not changed my opinion. But even if I have to eat it, it do not mean, than I must love it. FRC will migrate to EE early or later. And if I will not be able to live with this Linux client, I will be forced to leave FRC and, maybe, nwn1 in general. If developers of EE or, as minimum they managers, would be a little smartest, then they would keep legacy UI as option. I do not believe, that everybody has 4K monitor and need new UI. Should I recognize it as public insult? Maybe not. I have be tolerant. OK, I will ignore it.

This is a discussion board where you are meant to discuss opinions and ideas, don't let anyone bring you down, man. Without healthy debate, nothing new is learned anyway.

A work around for servers using windows instead of linux, which many do not like, "use a docker image,a virtual emulator of linux in windows." Taken from a nwn site. sergeil You can try above if you are using windows and not Linux. I have had no problems and I am running windows 10. I have NWN set at 32meg and I am able to play EE on 64.
Like any new item it needs to be tested. Many different types of pw's are already using it and are reporting problems and beamdog is acknowledging them and working to try and correct issues. If you have not done so, you can make a beamdog account with your email and once an account established you can check the general beamdog website and also post any problems you have.
Considering it has been publically available since November they have come a long way.
I do not use the docker.

Even if you prefer Linux, or anything other than Windows as an operating system, you can utilize "VirtualBox" to take advantage of virtual machines, and play NWN on Windows through that.

This is has been reported on the Beamdog redmine so that it should be looked into in time. That said the report on there said that edge scrolling worked fine if NWN:EE was run under wine so that's an option for you to consider playing the game under. I don't play games on Linux and I don't even use edge scrolling on Windows as I always play in window mode so all I can really do is offer you that and wish you the best. support.baldursgate.com/issues/36044#change-212634FM.

I tried to find an answer in this thread, but will we all be required to get the EE when FRC migrates? I'm hoping to avoid it at all costs, but will break down and buy it if I have to.

If/when FRC moves to EE then yes at least for those that want to play on the EE server. The game is backwards compatable for modules/custom content/scripts/haks etc etc but like most things trying to play a game with an outdated patch on fully patched servers doesn't tend to work. FM.

I was kind of hesitant myself at first. I mean pay to have an established game updated? I mean we didn't have to pay for cep. Then I realized in many ways it is a totally new game and relatively speaking, $20. US is not bad for a game which has been evolving since it came out though mostly through volunteers in the community. There is now someone to take up the reins. It is nice to be able to play in 64 bit rather then 32. It is true many worlds have rushed to the new platform and still many are not, waiting for some more bugs to be ironed out. You do not have to uninstall NWN so you can have both versions. I bought mine off of steam.

I bought EE on Steam when it came out and have not been able to play one game, either solo or multi without it crashing.

I bought EE on Steam when it came out and have not been able to play one game, either solo or multi without it crashing. From where game is downloaded? It can be, that steam version of game is customized by Steam. What hardware and software is used? 1. Motherboard model and it's chipset 2. CPU model 3. Video card model 4. RAM model, it's size, organization 5. Sound card 6. OS and it's version. Is PC overlooked? Is recent version of BIOS on MB? From where are drivers for hardware? From OS, hardware vendors, chipsets vendors? In case if drivers are not installed properly, you can have resources conflict and stability problem. Is there any OS diagnostic after crash? Is there any issues with different games or software, except legacy nwn1? PS: it can be driver or hardware issue. New game can use resources more excessively and it can cause crashes.

Any custom content needs to be placed in the my document folder in windows. Not in the steam app folder. So if you copied the cep hak and tlk and put it in the steam app folders, remove it and place them in the My Document Neverwinterights folders.

The game description on steam says the EE is backwards compatible, does that mean that you'd be able to play FRC with the EE? I imagine not, but I'm finding my current game is crashing a lot on my current rig, so I'd rather purchase the EE if I'm going to eventually do it anyways.

No. The "backwards compatible" means that you can load older saved games, characters, and resources, but for online play the Server and Client have to match (1.69 or EE).

Yes it is backwards compatible with anything NWN single and personal games. You can only play FRC and other worlds if they have transferred over to an ee server and platform. The major fixes were designed to help persistent worlds run smoother and also on the personal side help people who were having driver issues, namely Nividia. The more special scripts a pw world has the more subtle tweaking admins have to do. So in short if FRC does move to EE you will need the EE edition plus put the cep haks, portraits, etc on windows systems, in the my document NWN folder.
From what I have, read, once beamdog get the handle on solving bugs and tweaks for builders, then they will work and refine things for single player use.
I ha AMD drivers so never really had a problem. Maybe others who use Nvidia and loaded EE can let people know if any improvement. The limited graphics improvements they have done are nice.

I was reminded of NWN - I booted up my old Win95 machine - -- - Ah I remember the fun - - ubfortunately that machine no longer connects to the internet(the Ethernet cable socket is broken - and I have not gone off to find an Ethernet card compatible at a swap meet), So I installed it on my Win XP machine - runs fine there. I have been trying to get it to run on my win7 machine [thankyou animayhem for suggesting I run it in compatibility mode for winXP - which solved the issues I was having]. So it now runs on my win7 machine. I much prefer playing it on my older winXP machine - - that win7 - the fans on that machine are loud (yes it has better graphics and capabilities but I pay for in noise). .. . . . . . {I own games that only run on win95, winXP - and I am currently playing a DOS game (colonization) that I use a DOS emulator for - -If you wonder why I kept my old machines].----------------------------------- As has been noted I expect NWN EE - will be a resource hog - - for all I know it will require win10. --- That is not going to happen - I will not get any game that require win10 pardon my ranting

So if you copied the cep hak and tlk and put it in the steam app folders, remove it and place them in the My Document Neverwinterights folders. I emptied the hak and tlk folders in the Steam version and put them in separate folders on my desktop. Where do I put those folders? I don't see a My Documents folder in the NWN. The game still crashes with those two folders empty

In window mode Linux client can not use part of function keys combinations, because it is already used and intercepted. As example, pressing Ctrl+f3 minimize game window into kde tray.
Native full screen mode in Linux client can solve all those problems.
OK, I'm waiting patiently...

Check on the support forum, there is a mention of how to load a docker to emulate linux on a windows os.

Some people forget they are separate and lump it into the hak folders.

I have them in the proper folders in documents/Neverwinter. Still crashes. If you are testing on another PW, move those haks out and try again. Worse case you may have to download it again. One last thing, have you verified the game files with steam. Right click on the game then properties, choose the local file tab, then choose verify files. Or wait to see if beam dog responds. If it is another PW check their forum board maybe. If anything you should be able to play the single player.

I bought EE on Steam when it came out and have not been able to play one game, either solo or multi without it crashing. NWN:EE is having alot of issues with Intel based iGPU's atm with crashing, I've not heard anything about any fixes or workarounds as of yet, it might sadly be a case of waiting for Beamdog to release an update that resolves them sadly FM.

blog.beamdog.com/2018/03/neverwinter-nights-enhanced-edition_23.html?m=1Native full screen mode still do not work on my installation. I'm not sure, that my version is v8166, because did not found how to check, but it is fresh updated from beamdog. nwn.ini ----------- Borderless=1 FullScreenDesktopMode=1 FullScreen=1 ------------- In fact parameters Borderless=1 and FullScreenDesktopMode=1 work, but FullScreen=1 is not. Parameter FullScreen=1 is ignored and changed to FullScreen=0 after every run. In window mode my Nvidia work as expected.

A little unsure of your wording here but if you look at it logically then the ini file will always change like you mention because you cannot have seperate visual modes all open at the same time or all closed at the same time- one and only one can be active at any one time. However if you're saying that the full screen mode just plain isn't working then that's quite a glaring screw up by beamdog. As an aside, Intel graphics chipsets are -still- not working with NWN very well at all. This goes for the original NWN and not just the EE version. Something else you'd think that Beamdog would/should fix.

Since EE is supposed to be backwards compatible, you may wish to try changing compatibility modes.

'Supposed' to be and actually 'is' are two completely different things and worlds apart in this case I'm afraid. The problem is widespread and well known. Win 10 machines with Intel IG HD Chipsets (HD4000 etc) are just plain borking out while running the game. Compatability mode won't ever get close to fixing this problem.
