I played NWN2 on my Mac way back when I still had Boot Camp. However, I lost that ability when Apple put the kybosh on Boot camp. Couldn’t ever get it to work solely on WINE.
Purely by chance last week I opened an old Crossover bottle and saw that I had NWN2 in it, tried it and it opened first time, which it hadn’t before. Now, performance isn’t great but I’ve had no crashes whatsoever so far, so what I’m looking for are:
-
any mods/fixes I should definitely be using? When I started it last time I’m sure folk here gave me a couple of things I should add. Can’t find that thread.
-
Is anyone else playing NWN2 on Mac or Linux using Crossover? Could do with info on type of bottle and DX9 ( think it used that?)
-
any tips for increasing performance - I’ve taken the resolution /textures/usual suspects down.
-
…and this is embarrassing - I can’t find the original .exe to open the game even with a search on the Mac although self evidently it must be there somewhere! Got it from GOG and their installations seem to go to weird and wonderful places.
Have to say I’m enjoying it - helps that the OC is a bit better than the EE one but it’s not a one way street. There are definitely other places where EE has moved on beyond it. Loving the party control though.
I’ve emailed Crossover support so if they come up with anything I’ll post it here.
PS. I decided to play a lawfully good fighter this time rather than my usual mage. Came as a bit of a shock to see I couldn’t multi class with a Barbarian because of this. That’s what happens when you dash into something (!) so if anyone has a quick steer on what the next best MC options are I’d be grateful.
