I'm used to playing in top-down view and turning the camera by holding the middle mouse button while moving the mouse left/right. This has worked perfectly in the past, but it's extremely slow on my new WIndows 10 installation (old computer with WIn7 died).

When I hold the middle mouse button and move the mouse from one side of the screen to the other, the camera turns by not even 45 degree. This is unplayably slow for me -- I'm used to a full 360 degrees when I move the mouse from one side to the other.

Changing the camera turn speed in the game's options only affects how fast the camera turns when when using screen edge turning (which I can't stand and have normally disabled) and when using the left/right cursor keys. I've also checked in nwn.ini and nwnplayer.ini for some setting that might help, but to no avail.

Not being familiar with Windoze 10, I can suggest that you might like to create a gaming partition on the hard disc, with a Win7 OS. :)
You can try changing the mouse speed option in the Windows Control Panel. Open Control Panel from Windows Explorer, click on View By: Category in the upper right and select Small Icons, click Mouse, click the Pointer Options tabe, move the slider for pointer speed to the right. You may also have to check/uncheck the pointer precision box.

Some mice also have a separate program depending on the manufacturer. I had to do this with my old Microsoft mouse in Windows 7, but my Logitech mice don't need this changed on my current system.

Hopefully this fixes it.

The mouse speed is absolutely fine. The ratio between how much I have to move the mosue to turn the camera isn't, i.e. what the Camera Turn Speed slider normally controls but seems to have no effect.

Yeah, that is strange. I just tested it (Windows 7). Going from one edge of the screen to the other with MMB pressed give nearly, but not quite 360 degree rotation.

It doesn't seem like this would be an OS thing...

Edit: I tested it on my clean Win10 dual boot that has a clean NNW1 Diamond Ed, and the behavior was identical to on Window 7. Almost 360 degree edge to edge. Well, more like a little over 270 degrees.

Also changing from 1920x1200 to 1600x1200 resolution, gives me less rotation edge to edge, closer to 180 degrees.

The mouse turn speed always seemed to me a little on the slow side, compared to NWN2 which is much faster, but not unbearably slow.

I don't think the turn speed option ever affected the mouse turning.

Are you running the game in XP compatibility mode?
If anyone is still wondering about this issue you can increase your middle mouse drag speed, but you wont like it!

First load into the game, then observe your current middle mouse drag speed then:

Escape menu > Video options > advanced video options > check then uncheck vsync to whatever value you want > go back to game and observe faster mouse speeds

Setting a script to toggle this via ini doesn't work because the game video settings UI is what actually calls the update.

Cheers all!
