I've tried a million different suggestions found online but nothing seems to work, the game window gets scrunched to the right lower corner of my monitor regardless of what I do. I'm not even going to list everything I've tried because it would take me forever but suffice it to say that I've just given up at this point and will play it on my ancient XP laptop. > > A quick google turned up > https://www.gog.com/forum/neverwinter_nights_series/nwn1_andor_nwn2_windows_10 > > Highlights: > Try renaming nwnmain.exe to something else, like nwngame.exe and launch > directly from that. > and > You need to install it anywhere other than C:\ProgramFiles..... > No idea if this actually works since I still run win7. > Good Luck Been there, done that and plenty more - nothing seems to work. I have a laptop with dual GPU's (a dedicated nVidia 860M 1GB and Intel HD5x) and I've tried every thing I could think of/find with both GPU's but no go. No biggie, but thank you for the suggestions anyway.
