Shiny water does not appear to be working at all. Would appreciate some suggestions as to correction--running the latest version of NWN: EE Beamdog has made available on GOG. Thanks! Other than that--game runs fine--but I *want* my shiny water...;) After ATi straightened out Bioware's obvious misapprehension about ATi's hardware being unable to render shiny water in 2002/3, Bioware gave us shiny water...;) NWN isn't NWN without shiny water..!

Did you try running the game on a different graphics card? I see that you're using crossfire, but the game certainly doesn't support it. Try to disable one of the graphics cards completely. Try RX 590 and RX 480 as well. It's not a bad idea to experiment with different drivers as well.

Thanks! I think what's happened is that I had forgotten that in certain areas of the game in which the ambient lighting is low--shiny water is actually turned off by default! Of course it is! It wouldn't look correct in such areas--I was specifically referencing the three fountains in the area immediate preceding entering the prison district. Someone on the Beamdog forums reminded me that it wasn't active everywhere in the game--so I expect that as soon as I reach the city proper and enter proper sunlight that I will see it...;)
