Hello, I wanted to start with a clean install of GoG Neverwinter Nights 2 complete. I had the camera fixed in my old disc install, but now I'm having a hair-pulling experience trying to figure out why GoG NWN2 is ignoring my .ini file changes.

Already done:

Changed all "min", "default" and "current" settings in the My Documents folder .ini file to 0.005000. Also tried other numbers. All mouse related changes are ignored (they do nothing), although, strangely, the keyboard turn speed changes work.

Also changed "Camera Turn Speed" to 0.005000 in the .ini file located in the GoGGames NWN2 folder. No effect.

Restarted the computer to see if that was the problem. No dice.

Un-checked "Read only" in the .exe file properties. Nothing.

The default camera turn speeds in the unaltered game are so insanely fast, the game is almost unplayable without slowing down those .ini numbers. Can someone please help? I am almost at wit's end about this, having lost several hours of my day off trying to fix the camera instead of enjoying playing the game.

Going by that alone, you are doing it wrong. The entry is 'CameraTurnSpeed' -- no spaces.

Alter your camera in-game and then press the * key twice to make it stick.
Hickory, thank you, but not helpful.

You're not understanding my problem. I didn't alter any syntax in the .ini file. I just changed the numbers to what I wanted. It worked just fine on my disc install.

The program is ignoring changes in the .ini file.

In order to clarify matters, here is my .ini verbatim:

Have you tried just setting them in the in game options screen?
If you do that once, it might populate the nwn2player.ini properly.
Here's a pick of Character Mode settings that work for me.
Attachments:
@OlNorton, that's the whole point. The in-game camera settings are too fast, to an extreme. Many, many people rejected the game completely, and still do, because of the over-sensitive, headache-inducing default camera turn and scrolling speeds.

@HIckory, THANK YOU so much! Your corrected .ini syntax did the trick! You saved me, and I can enjoy the game again.

It should be noted that the defaut .ini from GoG, when I first opened it after a clean install of the game, did not include any heading for Exploration Mode. I think there's a problem with the default .ini, that people without as much knowledge of the correct syntax, as you have, can't fix.

If anyone else has my problem, just copy/paste @HIckory's .ini. The camera turn settings for Exploration Mode in it are still too fast for me, but it's very easy to slow it down just by adjusting the minimum and maximum numbers for the sliders down to wherever you want.

No, you missed my point. I know the default settings are terrible (GOG's default settings are the same as the disc version), & my screen shot doesn't show the default settings.
But if you make the changes in the options menu, it will give you the correct nwn2player.ini settings.
There is no need to even go in there.
@olnorton, thanks again, but the minimum turn speed on the default sliders is WAY too fast. I can only enjoy the game when I adjust the camera turn and scroll speeds far below the default minimums. I usually want turn and scroll speeds of 0.500000 to 2.000000. The default minimum on the sliders is 3.000000 - which ruins the game for me at that speed.
