I crash during transition most of the time. Not sure why (maybe an obsidian bug). It seems like everytime I leave the Temple, I crash. I crashed several times tonight, myself. Sometimes I can play for hours and not crash. Other times, it seems like every other transition.
So, not sure what to tell you about reducing crashes.sigpic

There may be certain spells or effects that can cause a crash both on the server side and on the client. From experience in previous PWs I know that the DMs learned that if you get more than 20 people in a single area casting lots of spells, then the server can go down.
I think it has something to do with all the math involved with intersecting power effects, but I don't know for sure. On the client side, It might just be tough for the PC to handle the graphics display of a number of effects all at once.
Mostly though I find that my client crashes without any spells involved, just by transitioning.Dahdmib Al Faruk: Whirling Ranger

I am also having a problem with the transitional crashing, I'm actually relieved to hear that I am not the only one. *thankful that he doesn't have to spend time diagnosing home computer* I know it is not a server issue as I have had the problem on other servers (when I played other servers).Aidan Saevalis - Priest of Tyr, Warpriest in training.

The only person to take this to is Obsidian. They have been promising a new patch which addresses these issues since MotB but have still not yet delivered.The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

I bet this has been brought up before, as I've seen it talked about a million times in a million other places, but here I go anyways...
Perhaps the visual effects of certain buffs and spells should be altered or removed? I know its possible, but I'm not sure how difficult it is. It really improves performance in some cases, especially on the player-side, and some of the buffs aren't actually supposed to have visual effects anyways, if I recall.

It's Obsidian's responsibility to fix the game, not mine or the team's. Degrading visual performance for a hopeful thought of minor performance/stability increase is far from a productive task.The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

Concerning spells and visual effects, I played on a server once where all visual effects were disabled, to prevent metagaming as much as graphical overload. It also had challenge ratings disabled. Of course, this was a NWN 1 server but I wouldn't be too surprised if somehow had adapted the script for NWN 2 as well. Might be worth looking into...Comment

I already turned off all spell affects so me, personally do not see them. I think this has reduced transition crashes.Lauan - knight of Thay " I have no fear, and death is merely an inconvenience to me.

Umm isn't that an override to turn off your own spell effect visuals?Current Player Of: Aden Astartes, Orren Baneshollow, Amnius, Kord Illumen and Lotho
