| OneDrive | Requires enabling backup of the Documents folder in OneDrive on all computers. | |
| Steam Cloud |
Video
Basic video settings.
Advanced video settings.
| Graphics feature | State | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Widescreen resolution | |||
| Multi-monitor | |||
| Ultra-widescreen | |||
| 4K Ultra HD | Has only 4 fixed UI scaling options, 1/2/3/4, 4= Base UI is roughly scaled for 1080p, so 4x looks the same at 4k. | ||
| Field of view (FOV) | |||
| Windowed | Alt+↵ Enter to switch between fullscreen and windowed. | ||
| Borderless fullscreen windowed | On by default, can be disable by editing settings.tml located in userdocs/Neverwinter Nights | ||
| Anisotropic filtering (AF) | Works, but must be forced through driver control panel | ||
| Anti-aliasing (AA) | Supported, but the most recent patch removed it from the options UI as the built in solution was bugged. MSAA and various other forms forced through Nvidia or AMD driver control panels work well. | ||
| Vertical sync (Vsync) | Off by default and also oddly removed from ingame UI. Edit settings.tml, locate: [graphics.video.vsync], Change enabled = false to = true | ||
| 60 FPS and 120+ FPS | No framerate cap, and coded to fully utilize GPU at 100%, so recommended you use a third party frame rate capper such as SpecialK, or enable VSync. | ||
| High dynamic range display (HDR) | See this project for a pseudo HDR shader: [1] | ||
Advanced frame-buffer effects.
Resolution and UI scaling.
Input
Input settings.
| Keyboard and mouse | State | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Remapping | Limited. Cannot rebind hotbar keys for example. Best workaround is autohotkey scripts. | |
| Mouse acceleration | Follows windows settings. Called "Enhance pointer precision" in windows | |
| Mouse sensitivity | Follows windows settings as long as hardware-pointer = true is on in settings.tml (It is by default) | |
| Mouse input in menus | ||
| Mouse Y-axis inversion | ||
| Controller | ||
| Controller support |
| Controller types |
|---|
Audio
Basic audio settings.
Advanced audio settings.
| Audio feature | State | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Separate volume controls | Sound Effects, Voices, Music | |
| Surround sound | While DirectSound 3D and thus EAX support has been removed. The new audio system, wwise, has been set up correctly to run it through software. So most effects like ambient sounds are heard as 3D position sound sources still. | |
| Subtitles | ||
| Closed captions | ||
| Mute on focus lost | Does not mute by default. Can be enabled with Special K |
Localizations
| Language | UI | Audio | Sub | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| English | ||||
| French | ||||

Network
Multiplayer types
| Type | Native | Players | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LAN play | ||||
| Online play | 64 | Co-op, Versus Co-op, PvP and even MMO like persistent worlds are available. The entire game was built to be playable in multiplayer co-op, but the expansions were not, though fan-mods exist to fix the issues presents in the expansions to allow them to completed in multiplayer as well. The enhanced edition has made it easier to play on persistent worlds by allowing automatic download of assets. |
