Then again, processors today could probably run it faster using sw emulation anyway
I do have fond memories of that game.
It's on Steam for $20 if that helps.

I got it from GoG and it used to run good on windows 7. Since I got win 10, I havent tried to dl it, since its on my GoG account. Perhaps they did something to allow compatibility to more modern systems.

Anyway, I'm trying to run a Windows 98 game (Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition) on it but it won't work. I've tried adjusting the compatibility thingie under properties. That didn't work. I've been reading some stuff online that says to uninstall it and reinstall under compatibility mode. I have no idea how to do that.
Any suggestions?
The only work around is to open the console* while playing. For some games compatibility mode installation (or just running) works, eg Diablo & Diablo 2, not NWN.
* Cheat code entry, usually via the Tilde (`) button.
Trust me it's the only way. I own the GoG version of the game (and also a hard copy, my brother robbed that one) and with Windows 8 or 10 playing the game with the console open is the only reliable way to get the fps up to any decent speed. Though you can't use the keyboard shortcuts.
