or u can get a minimizer from gamerzplanet but its considered a hack so dont bother but i can say.. it does work.. if it wasnt for game guard >_>

not that I know the program since i dont have it but have you tried to simply

alt+tab?

 #6737  by Kane
 
alt tab crashes the game Chan you can use it like 4-5 times then it simply crashes the client, its poorly coded in that manner probably some errors in the 3d engine or graphics display as you get sound back but just a blank white screen :S

Frustrating but what can you expect from a free game :P

The alt+enter works fine for me though I play it in a window all the time

 #6748  by GRYPHON
 
if i alt tab it only lets me do it once :(

 #6759  by Melissa
 
sounds a little bit badly coded as you say..

its just not all can go up to a high res

what is all the fuss about with this game anyway??

 #6774  by GRYPHON
 
its really fun.. untill u get to lvl 50 -.-

 #6778  by Kane
 
It strangly addictive, i mean as mmorpgs go its nothing special and even I would venture to add very basic and incredibly slow paced but I think its just the graphics and its ease of play that makes it quite an entrancing game.

Exp rate is pathetically slow though compared to most games.

Runescape isnt half bad, I play it quite a bit. You just need to find the fun side of it.

I thought NwN was great. It gets a little boring after a while, but the main story of the original game is like 40 hours or something ridiculous like that, then each expansion is about another 10 hours or so. So as far as single player goes, it's pretty impressive. The system works great, and the game play feels pretty good. Graphically it's a bit strange, kind of boxy and the textures feel awkward at times. The environments are also lacking, they don't seem as artsy as they should, and more computer generated. Then there's the whole world of mods and RP online. I didn't do much role playing, but there is quite a bit that can modified with their tool package, so you can probably find just about anything you're looking for as far as enhancements go.

Pros:
- Long storyline.
- Good storyline.
- One of the better third-person RPG combat systems I've seen, to date.
- Many Skills/feats/spells/etc... to customize your character with.
- Huge array of modifications online.
- Singleplayer of the original game is completely compatible multiplayer.
- Awesome music

Cons:
- Graphics aren't necessarily bad, but not impressive.
- The game can be a little buggy at times.
- Not much appearance customization on the player's avatar w/o mods.
- Some of the expansions don't work so well multiplayer.
- Landscapes aren't that good.

well we was looking at getting number 2 which does seem aesthetically pleasing so I am very intrigued :)

However I do run the risk of getting something not quite as good as the originals as we so often see i.e KOTOR and KOTOR 2

 #7079  by Melissa
 
yeah graphically it looks good on the trialers

although somone said the otehr day Bioware mde KOTOR Obsidian mad KOTOR2

Bioware makre NWN 1 Obsidian are making NWN2 , hopefully they will not be under the same pressure as they were with the fall backs of KOTOR 2

 #7081  by Tricky
 
What was wrong with KOTOR2? The engine felt almost identical to the first, and the story improved. lol

Bioware did design NwN, and I'm almost positive Obsidian is working on the second, but I believe Bioware is overseeing the production of NwN 2.

 #7084  by Melissa
 
the KOTOR 2 story was broken up since obsidian didnt get cahnce to finish it. the story ended abruptly missing out loads of dialogue. alos the side storeys were a bit frustrating.

While KOTOR 2 had improved features the first one had a better storey line to it

2's ending wasnt completed properly and there was a lareg amount of ambiguity to it, I didnt feel like I finished it almost like it was ended halffway through nothing. Plus there was no character side quests in the same way as the first one.

other than that i thought it was great

 #7086  by Tricky
 
'mm, the ending wasn't terrible, although it seemed like everything happened so suddenly. It's like 9 hours just to get to the part where the Council is going to deal with you, and then maybe one hour to get to the final battle.

I felt like they made up for it in the stories of your partner's, though. I always felt detached in the first KOTOR from the rest on my party. Not so much, in the second. You can spend quite a bit of time training and gaining the Handmaiden's trust, as well as figuring out the stories of the others in your group.

I imagine they'll have Revan and the Outcast meet in the third, if they ever make it, since the two are counter-parts.

 #7087  by Melissa
 
I certainly hope they do have that

I dunno I always found chatting up bastilla funny in the first one especially since you coudl at least kiss her!! i found it frustrating not sort of finally getting that same romantic connection with hand maiden or visas.

Still I cannot get mira to be trained as a jedi though, I have managed to get atton and hand maiden easily trained just not mira despite her agreeing to the training it kinda never happened..

I dont dislike KOTOR 2 whatsoever its one of my favs, i just happn to feel more captivated by KOTOR 1 , I do prefer alot of the new featurs in 2 though like prestiege classes etc.

I hope theres a 3rd but no so confident now


Incidentally there is a company called team Gizka who are working on replenishing all the stuff which was cut out of KOTOR 2, since it was rushed alot of the ending was ripped out as you can probabaly guess, hopefully restored soon!!

Well were do I Start? Oh yeah, My router yes I don't know (whatever that means lol!!) . I was at my moms, I installed the router and at my dads, he made this HUGE non entity object that REALY confuses me and this forum. (I think we need more clues lol ) Its like a 5 meg (maybe its an mp3? maybe a picture?) Yeah I think thast good!!. So I spoke to kane, we basicly have the same computer setup and have not got it going on. We have the same graphics card, same driver and even the same internet connection. I'm still here (evidentally)

"like "ok...first patch...5 hours...still no sign of retry working...'(no joke, i was doin it for 5 hours one night) "

Cannot reword that bit I dont get it

Well, firewall dont seem to be affectin me. I REALY want to play this game...



~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can only assume he is talking about the game in the original post but the rest of his post is like impossible to understand?

How exactly do you know your firewall isnt affecting you?

If you're near the actual modem, just plug the modem directly into your computer instead of to the router, that way you can be sure.
