Im going to look into this more when I have the chance to but I figure its something to point out. I was questing in the Southern Peridotia coast and for some reason I would randomly transition as tho I had used the flight token to a completely different location on the map that wouldnt even be possible to get to from my general location.
Sometimes it was even so far as to return me to an area that was not connected to the one I currently was in!!
There is also something odd that happens as well which I will try to explain here, but as I said its hard to put into words exactly what happens.
As best as I can tell when I get moved to this other area (and its not DMs screwing with me) its almost as tho the current area I was in gets super imposed over the new area map and I can move through, over and under objects I wouldnt normally physically be able to move through. Its like Im moving through an area and Im reading a map of a completely different area. Its really odd. I know Ive never had these problems in the past and they have only recently been occuring since the intoduction of the CRAP and PAW systems. It had happened more when Slider and Lanthar were working on the second Talus server but I had it happen prior to that on a single occurrence on a completely different character and area (I think it was the new Dorgin Island areas).
It is possible to fix the error by finding a door or highlight to exit the current superimposed area but if your several areas away it can be quite annoying to have to run back through 3 or more areas to get back to the region you were in prior to the teleporting.
Oh something else to note is that the area does not load in a loading screen its literally like I used the jump function on the trinket and instantly return back to the ground again. Tho in a completely different area.
I have not currently reinstalled NWN to see if its an install problem.
Hope this helps a little bit to maybe narrow something down as to the cause but for now this is all I can get and understand about what is happening when the strange error occurs.
