Neverwinter Nights 2

Does not work with Snow Leopard

Written by OL from Northfield

I just got this game for my MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard and it keeps crashing. Aspyr came out with a new patch that would supposedly make this game more compatible with Mac, but even after installing it, the game continues to crash at random times. Do not buy this product. I hope the people at Apple and Aspyr own up to this.

Neverwinter Nights 2

Needs the update that isn't coming

This game was probably awesome on a PC when it was released but is basically unusable on a newer Mac with Snow Leopard. That they are charging $50 for a game that crashes nearly every time a character attempts to transition to a new area is irresponsible. That I spent money to buy this game was just stupid on my part. You would be better off using an old PC or using bootcamp and running the PC version than attempting to play this on OS X, which in truth, is too bad.

Neverwinter Nights 2

Will not work

This game simply will not function with Snow Leopard. This was the first thing I bought after having bought a brand new Imac with Snow leopard preloaded and it consistently crashes. I stopped playing after getting to an inn and being unable to leave the main room without a crash. A patch was rumored to be in the works but there has been no further web comment to my knowledge since early Sept '09. Avoid buying until you hear of a specific Snow Leopard patch from Aspyr. Less than useless as currently sold.

More stars if it worked.

It's a fun game, and involving enough. Some really neat stuff, and some cool execution of ideas. Not wild about the camera modes, if you're standing too close to an object it blocks the cam and spinning the mouse around to get a proper view is a pain. Near objects should go transparent more aggressively. Irritating, but not a deal breaker. What is a deal breaker, is that it crashes like a MF on my 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo MB-Pro with the GForce 8600M GT Graphics. I mean, when it picks a spot to crash it sticks there for good, or for a good long time. I finally just uninstalled it. I'm willing to try something a few times without frustration, but I was restarting and reloading the same saves 20-30 times just to try to inch forward in the plot. I left the Windows world after 15 years, and guess who's getting laughed at right now? Uh-huh. You got it. Maybe they should do a PC ad with the Mac guy dressed as a NWN2 character and have him freeze and crash non-stop? That'd be funny. Ya? Anyhow, if you have the 8600M GT card, apparently this game isn't for you. Sure you spent the $$ for a cool Mac, but no fun RPG for you, no-siree.

Neverwinter Nights 2

Needs patch updates

Written by BP from RUTHER GLEN

This game does not work well and has not been patched since 1.12. They (Aspyr) needs to update this to the current 1.23 before you should consider purchasing. Otherwise, you will only have single player only and BTW, it will just crash on you.

IT is a good game, just not a well maintained port to OS X. Hopefully, Aspyr will update this to 1.23 or current, and fix the crashing problems. Check before you buy, otherwise this is pretty much a coaster and nice box.

Neverwinter Nights 2

some bugs present, game just quits

Written by LH from Whitecourt

This game has a few bugs in it. My main issue is that I cannot continue the game once leaving the docks to merchant quarter district of Neverwinter. The game just quits unexpectedly. Got a replacement disc from Aspyr after pestering them for a couple weeks by email. New disc did the same thing. Report sent to Apple but unlikely to get a fix as Aspyr support was no help. Computer meets the minimum system requirements. Game should therefore work.
