Crashing problem...
CountessAmy:
Thanks guys. I did update my Nvidia and sound drivers, and now the game starts, but when it gets to "faceting precious gems" it freezes. I am v. curious about this Securom stuff, I had no clue that NWN2 had it as well...i was complaining to a friend that it was too pricey and he just gave me his, lucky me. Only now i can't play the sims. I guess you really don't get anything for free. :P
I keep doing the tweakguides recommended system search for Securom and I can't find it anywhere on my system, so is it not there, or is it just hiding?
I also tried setting up a new user account on my computer, but on that account the game freezes right away.

SecuROM is a hidden folder, so you would have to specify to search hidden files and folders before searching, under advanced search options.

I wish I could help you more, Amy. My dead computer had an ATI radeon 9700, and it played TS2 beautifully.
My replacement is a laptop with a Nvidia ( Mobility 512MB NVIDIA GeForce GO 8600GT PCI-Express 3D Video). Laptop and Nvidia - a double sin from the EAxis point of view. It's bound to arrive at my house next week. Who knows, I might join you soon in the "what the hell is going on" department.

My understanding was that NWN2 had securom, but stopped using it by way of one of their patches because they were getting so many complaints.

LOL ('coz I did) Ivy, a fine friend you are.
But seriously, the screaming started right after the initial release of NWN2. The Bioware forums and boards were cluttered with pissed off people, and their posts came so fast and furious that the moderators couldn't keep up with deletions. (Hmm, maybe EAxis did research, after all).
I did a lot of research after finding out about NWN2 and BV, and it seems that SecuRom 7.2 and higher is the real culprit in all issues. It seems that anything before 7.2 is comparable to SafeDisc, and even SecuRom 7.2+ is considered benign compared to StarForce.
Maybe they did listen at Bioware. I hope so. I want NWN2, dammit.
:D Always happy to help you veilchen!
I missed out on the initial furor on NWN2. Sometimes I suppose it's best not to know these things until way after the fact, eh? lol
I'm dying to get the MOTB expansion pack though, though I'm not sure if I can squeeze it onto my hard drive. Between both NWN games, Sims2 (+EP's up to Seasons), Stronghold 2, ZooTycoon 2 (+EP's), and Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 (+EP's), I'm running out of room! Maybe I should ask Santa for a new hard drive too while I'm at it.
Oh yes...the crashing...I'm sorry, I can't help much with that :( . Since you've uninstalled and reinstalled so much, you might want to run a defrag on your computer and see if that helps. That's about all I can think of.
