Do not get the new patch!

[Morrus]

I'm alive, but I can't get NWN to run - haven't been able to do so in days. It crashes before it gets to the initial menu.

Hopefully I'll get that sorted soon, because it's bugging me!

A sign!
The Well and the Headstone is up and running again!
Jubilation!!
I´m looking forward to the upgrade.

Three possible solutions that should be in the Boiware FAQ:

1. Update your video driver.
2. Try downloading the 1.64 Critical Update Patch.
or 3. You may have a corrupted SaveGame File. Just delete it.

Oooo, I hope this gets cleared up soon. I want to get back on the server.

Yeah, I feel the same way.... *sigh*

As they saying goes: "There's no place like home"...

My problem started when I updated to Windows XP SP 2. When I realised that a lot of people had NWN problems with SP2, I used the Windows XP roll-back feature to undo the update, and it worked fine once after that. However, since then, I haven't been able to get it working.

Possiable solution?

You might make sure your personal firewall is turned off. Not talking about any third party firewall, but the one that comes with microsoft.

Look at your network connections, Look at the properties on your connection, and select the advanced tab.

I know service pack 2 enhances that, and it might have left it on. Just somthing to try. I know it turned it on on my machine.

The first time I ran NWN after installing SP2, it asked me something like "do you want to allow this program through". I never had troubles after that. I don't think that the crashes I had were specifically caused by SP2 (i had some before that anyway).

Morrus, it seems to me like most PW servers have already patched to 1.64, even those using CEP, like Higher Ground (which also runs PoA). I don't think it would cause too much trouble. But of course, it's your call... And I'm biased because I miss the server.

I still think the best path is to update NWN to 1.64, then update to CEP 1.5 final (tomorrow is the scheduled release date) and then update to PrC 2.2b (scheduled soon). This way the server would feel "new and improved". Of course this is only my opinion

Either Morrus finally updated, or my download was screwed up.

Been on the server for a bit now. Just got kicked off.
