Wasn't that the maze room in SOU? It does slow down there with all the
walls constantly changing.

It was fine there for me - I used to enjoy that bit.

Yes, I think HOTU was the best of the box campaigns - I think more or less
everyone does. The true love of the sleeping man is a random selection of
the available females. The Henchmen will fall in love with you if you are
just nice to them - if you play a female it's always Valen (kind of sweet)
but you get a choice if you're a man - typical. Though none of them will
get their kit off (or do the women? - I never play men) - so no bed roll
sharing. That cave - can't remember how I solved that - oh, use the
shape-shifting ring, I think.

Best wishes

Latest patch is 1.68 (as of about a month or so ago). Though, I'm not
sure that would solve your problem. The NWN engine is pretty old, and,
after a certain point, updating to new video drivers can be
counter-productive when trying to run old games. Sad, but true.

I do not change my video driver often so I am still using 71.89 driver for
my GF 6800. It is very stable and runs problem free in NWN.
