NWN and ATI video cards

I am not sure if this was covered yet, but I felt many people would like to be aware of this.

The current version (beta 2) of NWN for Linux does not support ATI video cards for some reason. Bioware has said that implementing support for ATI cards is a high priority at the moment.

I wish I had known this beforehand, I've just wasted 3 hours trying to make it work

Have a good day!

Thanks for the heads up. I was just thinking of trying NWN linux client. I haven't played the game much since it came out. I had all sorts for problems back then because of my Radeon card. I got rid of my windows partition not long after that, I never did finish the game. Maybe I'll finally get a chance!

I don't know if I'd by another ATI card, their driver support is horrible. I still have problems on my WinXP laptop with Java crashing because of a bad ATI driver that doesn't work with DirectDraw correctly- its been an open bug for 9 months!
