OpenGL or DirectX

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.neverwinter-nights (More info?)

Just brought NWN home and made it all the way to page 5 of the manual before
I ran into my first question. I know some games run better with OpenGL. What
is the general preference for this game?

Thanks

it runs only in OpenGL, Direct3D is not even an option, Direct X is not a
renderer.

NWN always uses OpenGL for graphics; there are no other options. DirectX is
used for other things though, so it too is reguired (sound, online play (I
guess) etc.)

Thanks for the replies guys. Seems like they would have corrected the Manual
long before now.<S>

"On the Display page, you may configure the game to use either OpenGL or
DirectX, the resolution at which to play the game and which texture pack to
use."

It might be corrected in the .txt file, the update to the manual. Not sure
though.

It is an OpenGL game only despite what the manual says, so the question is
redundant....

Redundant?

Since the game only runs in OpenGL it won't run in anyother format so the
question doesn't matter. Redundant wasn't the right word
