No Love for Atari

Well, after getting through the horrendous 7 CD install of neverwinter nights 2, i've discovered that it doesn't run well enough to play.

I have all the latest drivers, an awesome (and expensive) month old gaming PC, etc. but it runs around 5 FPS. completely unenjoyable. core2duo 6600 @ 2.4ghz, 2 gb of DDR2, Nvidia 7950GX2.

people in the NWN2 support forums echo the same problems over and over. this is strange because the release of neverwinter 1 was exactly the same way. the game engine was complete shit for at least a few months after release. utterly unplayable. and they've done it again. I guess they're trying to get it pushed out for the christmas buying rush. which is likely more of a publisher thing than a developer thing. so i have sympathy for the developers who were probably forced to push out an unfinished product (that never happens, right?).

So Atari.. die in a fire.

Hi there, I hope you see this one sometime soon... and I hope I'm not intruding.
It's about your HL2 gif2vtf script. Would you mind sending it over to me? I could host it at my Windows server, according to what you wrote as a note, the reason is not working is because your present server is not a Windows server, right?

Thanks in advance,

Jay
