Bah I Give Up

First thing:
Don't play stock. Get Kwok's balance mod (AKA KwokStock)

You probably need to set the video memory to safe mode (in the video setup on the very first splash screen)


Those two things should relieve a lot of your issues.
Setting the Hotkeys to something you're used to, and shift-click on numbers and the design screen are big things for the UI side.

I had a lot of issues until I went to safe mode, but that begs the question. How many people are having to use safe mode to be able to play and if its a high percentage then is there an underlying problem in the basic design of the game/graphics engine? Or does it work on one pc, the developer's?

ps Kwok's Balance Mod Rocks

@ Atrocities - while I agrre with you to some extent that it doesn't measure up, Do you have direct knowledge of poor sales or this sense that the developer has lost hope for this title or is this behind the scenes rumours? Curiosity really, Not everyone is in the know.

Some of us just prefer not to know. A little faith… If it’s all the same I would prefer this one be kept to PM’s please.

Huh? WTH? No no, I don't have any such direct knowledge and have editted my comments to avoid giving that impression.

I was trying to relate to the poster and how he felt about SE V. I have been there, with games like BOTF, Rebellion, Tribes Vengence, and Moo3. In other words I have been in his shoes. I wanted to express to him that SE V is not like other games and that despite its flaws it will continue to get better. I simply just didn't articulate my comments well enough to correctly express my intentions.

I play SE V daily and am very thankful for such a privlage. I have nothing but faith in the developer and the game.

I guess I'm lucky having had no expectations for the game at all. I had just gone through massive disappointment with NWN2 though and know what you mean.

It's harder to accept flaws in something that you're really passionate about.

[Ragnarok-X]

Oh yeah, good one. Which is more disappointing, SEV or NWN2 ? Both are horrible bugged, but NWN2 at least offers decent graphics.

lol

NWN2? What is this?

I actually got tired of NWN2 before I managed to finish the main quest( although not because of bugs). Then I started BG2 again. Now that's a fine game.
