Neverwinter nights / corrupted text on 71.89 Video problems in 3-D on NWN.
I have a 6800GT and Win 2000 running with the E-D glasses. I can switch NWN into 3-D mode and the environments look OK, but half the text blanks out. Any ideas ? I've seen postings on other web boards that indicate it might be a bug in the recent drivers.

cheers

I have the same problem with 78.01 drivers, the text shows up half. From reading other forums it seems that this used to work with very old versions of the 3d drivers but at some point got broken. The problem you get is this: The text seems to show in one eye but not in the other one. This makes the game totally unplayable. If this would get fixed it would rock because the rest looks awesome.

[quote]Hi, I'm new to this forum,I didn't know about it untill a couple of weaks ago
I've used my Ed-glasses for nearly 3 years now. Whith my older cards (I had a Geforce 4 and then a FX9570) most of the games where working fine in stereo (ore not working at all) exept thath you couldn't play on the highest settings. Now I got a 6800GT and was hoping to play some of my old games on high setting , but then there is the problem with the stereo.
Now, heres is the problem with NWN
With drivers 61.77/61.77 combo (disabled shiny water)the game looks great in stereo and is working fine exept in some areas,then the game freeze and the sound is hacking. sometimes the area is only a special room ore when some NPC swow up.If I disable stereo the game goes back to normal after a while, but if I move out of the area and try to enable stereo then it frezes again and I get a double image. The only way to get stereo is to restart the game.
This effect i more freqent in HoTU.
I've tryed to disable every option in advanced video setting and everything to low but I get the same result.
With 66.93 ore 71.84/61.77 (everything on high and all advanced enabled)
Stereo is working and no frezing, but there is no text in dialogs, deskriptions and so on, only some fragmets of words.
Some spelleffects and bloodeffects are not 3D anymoore.
I've tryed the new betadrivers 67.66/67.66
but the rusult is the same as above.
Anyone else tryed this game on a 6800-card ?[/quote]

[quote]The problem with the text began with the new 71.84 drivers, but there was other problems with the erlier driver (61.77), se top of this topic.
When I had a FX9570 card and the older drivers (I think it was 45.23) it worked perfect in stereo.
I have tryed all kind of setting but no luck so far.
Is there anyone got this working with 71.84 drivers ?[/quote]

The Noortho solution that was used in older drivers apparrently does not work:

[quote]Checked the registry and nwmain has the following settings:

NoOrthoStereo=1
OpenGL=1
StereoConvergence=4022580c

Also created a new registry entry for "nwn" with only the NoOrthoStereo=1, but didnt make any difference - text is still garbled.[/quote]

More recent attempts of people have failed also:

[quote][url="http://forums.stereovision.net/viewtopic.php?topic=2406&forum=5"]http://forums.stereovision.net/viewtopic.p...406&forum=5[/url][/quote]

So summary of the problem:
Text in menus, in the interface during the game (bottom panel) is gone or half-gone. It used to work in older drivers when you used the NoOrthoStereo=1.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem? NwN is a great game with a lot of longevity in it if you play online, it would rock if the text problem would get fixed! Older drivers are no solution, because newer cards are not supported by them.
