The World of Avlis

I was using a no cd version of the nwn.exe for the game and i forgot and updated.... the only problem? i updated to a version....1658062 instead of a version 81658066... strange... And Then? I am downloading the critical restore as for now.... lets see...

can't use nocd version when you update- i learned the hard way last update.

I did the same Reinstalled NWN... Sorry croton, don't know if you made it back, but it took me till now to get it working right.

But i have lost my manual years ago and i dont know my basic NWN CD key!
Help! Wont the critical fix it?

If you kept backup of .exe just replace NoCD patch with it and you should be fine I think... I stupidly deleted my backup folder... Don't know if critical will fix.

Your cd keys are in an ini file in your nwn directory (nwncdkey.ini if I recall correctly). The critical thingie should do the trick though without need for reinstall.

Make sure to write it down and store in a cool, dry, place as well. Well, not necessarily cool, but definitely dry.

you can also sotre your cd key numbers on the nwn bioware site when you register at http://nwn.bioware.com/

Victim of the no-cd thingie as well.. the critical restore worked for me though, and I made sure to keep a copy of the nwmain.exe file this time around.

I did the same thing, but I had kept a copy of the original 1.64 NWN main and NWN exe (just to be safe, wasn';t sure which one it altered.
After the patch was aborted, I just plopped the originals back into the NWN directory and ran the updater again.
No problems. . - no need to get the critical build.

You know, if you forget to use the original file before patching, after the download it will tell you the patching failed, which will make you download it all again (and if you have a slow connection that's very bad).

But if you look in the neverwinter folder your patch will be there, but it won't be a Zip file, so you need to put it into one, and change that file's name to the name the update is supposed to have if you download it from the bioware site


This is probably common knowledge, but when I found this out I bragged about it for a long time... ask srn

Yup me too. Did exactly the same. Once I'd realised my error, I just went back to the originals and re-ran update

Hotfix fixed all. thanks guys!

Is there a NoCD for the new version yet please?

I suppose if I can't fix the Linux version yet, I will have to take the plunge and update the Windows one. Thanks for the warnings about the NoCD crack removal.

I'm not using a No-CD but still had to use the Critical patch thing to get it to work. Very odd.
