Gilli Overdale played by pejsaboy is standing outside Port Hempstead. He has returned after an extended absence from Layo and has installed all the required haks etc. His problem is he cannot see any other PC's or NPC's in the game. He can see the tab titles and they light up, but no skins. Any ideas??

He needs to deconflict his port with the other person in his household... they are set to the same value by looking at server status.

I've actually done that.. but I initially changed it to one that was already being used. There's also a duplicate of me standing in the fields where I just logged out. I've re-changed the port now

It doesn't appear to be a result of the conflicting ports. After triple checking that all computers have different ports, and a server reset, I still cannot see myself or any of the npcs in town. I can, however, see the kobolds just outside of town in the fields.

EDIT: It appears this is a video card related issue. I get the same result when opening the OC as well.

If it seems like a video card issue, consider updating your drivers. Some older (and some that ship on the CD with the card) are buggy.

I'm going to try that when I get some time today. Unfortunately, the bit of searching online that I've even found related material seems to indicate that the newer drivers [period] are ignoring an important type of texture that nwn happens to be using. I'm still tryin' though. I'm running an ATi HD4870 and the 9.2 catalyst drivers, so I don't even have the option of going to very much older drivers hoping for better support. I wanted to stick with an nVidia card, but they just didn't have the right card in the right price range. This card is both for me.

okay, problem solved. I guess ATi cards don't like the "environment mapping on creatures" option in the advanced area. At least I'm using the newest drivers for it now though, hehe.
