NWN2 Patch Version 1.06 Final Released (part 3) (http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums/viewpost.html?topic=571870&post=5118624&forum=109&highlight=)
If you are getting "show stopping bug after show stopping bug" at this point then you have some sort of conflict going on.
The vast majority of people are playing with little to no problems now, so you may want to make sure all of your drivers and supporting software are up to date.
The other option is that you may need to reinstall the game as you may have some corruption in your files.
What kind of show stopping issues are you having?
<hr />This patch ruined my game i think. Ever since updating i went from being able to run the game with only a few glitches to getting like 3 frames per second followed by a crash. Obsidian, seriously, learn to test properly before you release things. You've messed this game up enough times with your poor coding as it is. This is just another screw up to add to the growing pile, I've had this game since release date and i have yet to be able to properly enjoy it, i keep hitting show stopping bug after show stopping bug.
This is getting beyond ridiculous, i feel i have been more than patient with you guys. I am seriously considering never buying another game with the name obsidian on it ever again. This is one of the worst experiences i've ever had with a game.<hr />

Last I heard, the video drivers for vista are not fully finished yet.
One thing many people have success with is running the game in XP Compatibility mode for Vista.
I think the confusion about overclocking came in because your specs list your video card as being superclocked.

<hr />Rob,
I had posted to you some time ago about an error when erasing grass. I eventually switched back to XP and I am no longer getting that error. In fact it seems to be running well at full capacity totally maxed out. I did wake up today to find that the toolset now loads without the toolbar at the top. All of the ribbons are on the side and the bottom but nothing up top except the toolset logo. If I click the logo it closes. No file, no view, no nothing. Like when you hit F11 in explorer. Any ideas? I did not see any issues like this in the data base. Thanks<hr />This is off topic for this thread.
There is a sticky in the toolset forums that will help you through the missing menu bar issue.

Make sure you are patched up fully. That will help with this issue quite a bit.
Also, one of the things known to cause this issue is to have too many different varieties of trees (more than 5) and too many different seeds for the trees in the area.
