I didnt know that NWN2 needed it, but surly its only the toolset that needs it?
Yes. The crashes often happen because of a "pure virtual call" in msvcrt. Well done Obsidian, you useless cretinous morons. 5 days to find out whether it'll run or stuutter....
Don't hold your breath. One of my mates has a 2 month old Alienware that set him back at least £5000, and even that chokes on it at times. Needless to say every other game runs like hot shit on this system.
