And this version comes with native arm64 bins, need to figure out how to launch it directly. I tried to cd into the game bin/linux-arm64 folder and ./nwmain-linux, but faild.

This version comes with native aarch64 bineries, so it will be good to test performance. To launch the game natively on aarch64, enter the game folder, and excute it with env,

cd bin/linux-arm64
PAN_MESA_DEBUG=gofaster,gl3 ./nwmain-linux

Now this is an interesting one! My guess is that this game is purely GPU limited. (Rock5, panfork)

using default settings:

box64 / x86: +10fps

native: +10fps

using low settings

box64 / x86: +50fps

native: +50fps

[sehraf]

for the record: the Windows version (using box64 + wine WoW64) results in very similar fps :shrug:

[ptitSeb]

Wow, same speed as native! That's a nice :D !

Thanks for the report!

Setup BOX64_BASH to point to an x86_64 version of bash (like the one in box64 repo, in the tests folder), then launch the sh using box64 (whith box64 ./neverwinter_nights_enhanced_edition_88_8193_36_13_72824.sh). Box64 will use the x86_64 version of bash to run the script, in a pseudo x86_64 environment (enough to fool the script).

@ptitSeb , Thanks. It worked. Actually set BOX64_BASH didn't work but launch bash from tests directory then run installer worked.
