| Welcome to the Layonara forums!
Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.
Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.
After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.
There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.
We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.
Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer.

|  NWN and Vista (32 bit)
I'm asking here because no one on the server I play on seems to have any sort of definitive answer, and I know you guys are a smart bunch of people and some of you are very tech savy.
I just ordered a new gaming computer, and since its impossible to order a high end machine that runs XP properly with its components , and building is out of the question for me, I need to know if Neverwinter Night's runs on Vista 32 bit.
I've heard some horror stories, But I also played just fine on Jason's laptop that ran it while I was in CA.
So, anyone that knows anything difinitive , if they could please respond here and Ill try to check every so often.
As always, Lurve you guys  And hope things are well, Hi to the people I talked to extensively and stuff...Yadda yadda.

Heya,
well I run NWN here on my notebook with Vista Home Premium 32-bit installed. With the 1.69 it runs just fine from what I experienced. There are some issues with 1.68 though, but in general it runs.

NWN works flawlessly on my Vista 64-bit with an ATi Radeon 4870 card.
Only thing of note is that unless you have a ASUS Xonar D2/D2X (and perhaps a few other high end sound cards), you may -not- enable EAX/3D/stuff under the sound settings or you will have some extraordinary weird "lag".

I find NWN works better on my Vista (64) computer then my XP one.

You might have to play around with the graphics settings and such. Most of my problems with Vista seemed to stem from those.
Also I sometimes crash when transiting areas - something I did not use to, but I cant say if it has anything to do with Vista

Works fine here too, both 1.68 and 1.69. Haven't noticed any more crashes than usual. | | | | |

Dude all computer kits these days come with instructions that are as easy to follow as lego directions. The hardest part is mounting the CPU fan if you go intel. Build your own and you save 1000 USD. | | | | |

Sometimes older games have trouble running on Vista, but there is a fix. If you are having troubles, just turn off the UAC (user access controls). Also you might need to give it full permissions. I had no trouble myself with playing with Vista. Hope this is good info to you. | | | | |

Hey Eightbit, Something funny:
I just figured out yesterday that a character I've been running quests for , for the last month or so, played here briefly as one of your mage's apprentices. Small world.

Seriously though, thank all you guys: New faces and old. Its good to pop in here occasionally, be able to say hi to old friends and still receive a nice level of courtesy. Enjoy Gaming~
