Game updated and now it's unplayable

Post by Neyha Riverdale » Sat Feb 12, 2022 8:15 am

hello everyone

yesterday my nwn: ee updated to a new version (it was v82819320 before) and now it's unplayable.

even with the lowest settings it freezes constantly in major cities and often outside of them.

before the update the game was running smoothly with the normal setting but now I can't take 2 steps without hiccups.

is there a way to go back to the older version?

please help me!

thanks

This sounds like something to be brought to Beamdog's attention.

So we're very much on track.

Absolutely. If you're on steam you should be able to roll back to a previous version by:

1. Right-clicking the game in your steam library.
2. Select properties.
3. Betas

Under 'select a beta,' you can choose your game version. Just choose an older one.

However, reluctant as I am to utter the cursed phrase, the update works on my machine. It's possible the issue is something at your end. Might be worth verifying the game, just to be sure that all your files are in place and correct. On steam, that can be done again, by going into game properties -> local files -> verify integrity of game files.

If you're not on steam, I've got no idea, I'm sorry!

No, I'm not on steam, I bought the game on the android play store, the game was perfect before the stupid 8193A00011 version, now the framrate go to 5-10 in cordor and other cities. I wish I could go back to older one.

Opt In to NWN:EE Beta in Google Play Store. Its a more stable android version based on my experience.
I also play on android, Cordor and Myon (not the trade hall), sometimes will kill your framerates.
Shadovar Post, Elemental Plane of Fire can also kill your framerates.

I checked the store but the only version you can download is the one giving me problems. The game was smooth on the version before, now is unplayable. I tried to lower the graphics settings to minimum (I was in normal before) but nothing change, the framrate is still low and the hiccups are unbearable. I need to find a way to go back to the v82819320.

The beta version is what the current version just got updated to.

I'd recommend contacting Beamdog about your performance issues, also clearing out any overrides if you had any.
We can't help much unfortunately as it's mostly out of our hands. I don't think the Google Play store allows you to rollback versions I'm afraid

In anycase you haven't opted in yet. Beta version usually hotfixes things earlier than the standard NWN:EE in android.

I’d recommend turning your enhanced lighting options off in your settings and seeing if that makes a difference. The latest patch included some renderer updates and that might be causing your issue.
