Neverwinter Nights not drawing sprites

Post by necropi »

Hi, working on a raspberry pi 3B, game (nwn diamond gog ed.) tested with Wine 5.13, launches fine but character and npc sprites are not drawn, they are totally invisible. The rest of the scenario, music, dialogs are fine as well. Tested all available video options and resolutions with same result. Game doesn't crash.

Any ideas?

Thanks!.

Interesting. Try the NWN Enhanced Edition and ask on their forum are low hanging fruit you could try. Also lots of forum posts you could dig into for issues on Linux. Could be an issue like filename case-sensitivity you see often in those forums, IIRC MS Windows doesn't care about uppercase/lowercase but on Linux you'll get problems, resources not being loaded. Unloaded portraits being "blank" black boxes, with no crash, due to case-sensitivity for example.

Their engine with their override folder is also very useful for getting around problems. You can override their shaders with more primitive ones to run on old systems for example... well at least you can with the Infinity Engine games, I don't think I'd tried a shader override on NWN yet.
