Frequently Asked QuestionsQ. Autodownloader - I connected but it fails to download the files.- 1. Try quiting the game once, if you were already on the server and reconnect it can lock some of the files preventing them from downloading again.
- 2. The PW might be improperly set up, look to see if it's got 1 or more players to see if other people managed to get on
- 3. If no players look like they are on, the PW might be currently being setup. You might have to try again later.
- 4. To find out more information, %TEMP%/NWN2/LOGS$nwclientLog1.txt is the path to a log on your client which often will have more detailed information.
Q. Manual Download Only- I found a server i like in gamespy but i don't know where to download the files from1. Click the button labeled "Server Details" and find the address in one of three places:
- Check first in the "PWC Download" field. If an address is present, you can click on it to receive the information you need for file downloads. (Not all servers have this information.)
- If you there is no address in the "PWC Download" field, look next in "Module Website"
- Finally, if neither of the above fields are filled, look at the Server Description field for a web site address.
- Finally, Add the server to your favorites, if the above 2 fields don't work, adding it to your favorite and then repeating the above will often make those fields show up if they are actually entered ( they often don't show up ).
2. Search for the server name on google, generally it will find a forum, vault page or at least a post in the forums.3. Look for the files on the vault4. Post a request in the PW forums, usually someone can help you figure out how to get in touch with the forums involved.Go to the web site listed. From there, you will usually find a clearly identified link for required downloads and follow their provided instructions. If none of this works then you probably can't play on the server.
Q. Manual Download Only- Where do i put the files i manually downloadThis is mainly for those not using the downloader, however you can use this to know where things should go.If a web site provides you with specific instructions for installing or setting up, always follow those instructions instead of these, many servers have exe programs like worldgate or audolo which will do this work for you.
- Files ending in PWC go in My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/pwc
- Files ending in HAK go in My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/hak
- Files ending in TLK go in My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/tlk
- If the file ingamegui.ini is included, it must be placed in My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/ui/default
- Some servers will have Campaign files. The Campaign files must go in a folder within My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/Campaigns. The folder name to use will be provided to you -- usually it can be found in the information on the server's download page.
- Some servers will have files that must be placed in Override. Extract these files into My DocumentsNeverwinter Nights 2/Override. Always remember that placing files in override can have unpredictable results, especially if you play on other servers, play other single player modules, or are still playing the official campaign.
Other files go into the "Override" and "UI" Folders in the "Neverwinter Nights 2" folder. If in doubt, put them in the Override Folder, most likely they will work in override even if they normally go in the UI folder. It is highly recommended to make a folder for the said Persistent World inside the override folder to keep things organized. Please remember to remove these files before playing on another Persistent World.
Q. Manual Download Only- There is a web site, but I can't find the files on it anywhere. A. This is all too common. The best thing you can do is email the server administrator, explain that you could not find the downloads, and politely request that they direct you to the server downloads page.
Q. Manual Download Only- The server description is cut off. I can't see the full web site!A. Unfortunately, many server admins don't seem to be aware that there is a limit to size of the Description field. Unless you can find the web site and file downloads through other means (such as searching for the server web on the web), you will not be able to join this server.
Q. Manual Download Only- What are these fields "Module Website" and "PWC File" for? Wouldn't that be easier than having to type in the web site myself?A. These fields will contain the web site of the server, and sometimes a link directly to the file you need to download. Currently, this is not visible to all players and unless the server is viewed from your History or Favorites list. The autodownloader really makes this unnecessary. Often it will also be in description field as well.
Q. Manual Download Only- What is a PWC file? A. This file contains the map information for the server that you are trying to connect to. It is still used by some PW's but those that use the autodownloader no longer need to have this file anymore to play.
Q. Manual Download Only- When I download the PWC file, I have the whole module? A. No. You have only the minimum files needed in order to log into a server. You don't have the creatures, items,scripts, and other resources that make up a server.
Q. When I look at the server list, some servers are red, and some servers are grey. What does this mean? A. Red servers require a password to log in. You will most likely need to register at that server's web site in order to receive the password and download the needed files. Grey servers are running a different patch level than you have. This happens most commonly soon after a beta patch is released (some servers upgrade early); and after a final patch is released (some servers are slow to upgrade).
Q. I made a character and tried to log in, but was immediately sent back to the main menu! What do I do? orQ. I made a character and tried to log in, and NWN2 crashed! What do I do?A. If either of these two things happens, this means that you have have not installed this module's PWC file. Refer to section titled Downloading Required Files for details on downloading and installing this file and others that you may need.
Q. After making a character and trying to log in, I received an error message: "Could not Load the Module: Missing Required HAK File" . What do I do? or
Q.After making a character and trying to log in, I received an error message: "Could not Load the Module: Missing Required TLK File" . What do I do?A. You must visit the server's web site, and download and install the require HAK or TLK file(s) before you can connect to it. Instructions for that are in section Downloading Required Files
Q. I have having trouble connecting? I am having trouble Registering with Gamespy?A. Are you using a fire wall such as Zone Alarm. If so either turn it off or consult it's documentation to learn how to make it allow you to connect. If you think that your firewall is preventing you from connecting to the game servers, please make sure that ports 5120 through 5300 are open. Additional Ports 3658, 3659, 3783 , 6500, 6515, 27900, 28900, 29900, 29901 and 28910 may need to be opened but it usually will work without having to do all of this.

Q. How do i play with more than one person on a PW ( both being from your local network )?A.If you have multiple computers behind a firewall and you want to play multiplayer with 2 or more of them at the same time, you must ensure the Client Port setting for each computer is set to a different value. You will find this entry in the file nwnplayer.ini (located in “My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/”). Double click on it to open it, and look for the Client Port= line in the [Profile] section. Change this from the default value of 5120 on each machine. You have to stay in a certain range, so use numbers like 5121, 5122, 5123, etc.
Q. I've decided to stop playing on a server, how do i remove the downloaded files to free up hard drive space. A. With the downloader you can delete all the files, it will just redownload any missing files which means that you can safely remove quite a few files. Files will be placed in your my documents/neverwinter nights 2/ and in modules, hak, tlk and music folders. The modules folder will have a folder with the name of the module. The hak will generally have a hak file named after the server but this can vary.
Q. I want to keep files downloaded in a separate location.A. The way to do this is to make a short cut for nwn2main.exe ( or the NWLauncher.exe file if you use the client extender ). Then go in and add to the shortcut -home followed by the name of the folder, which can be "c:/yourfoldername/" or just "yourfoldername" which will show up in my documents. Or it will be in it's entirety "c:/Program Files/Atari/Neverwinter Nights 2/nwn2main.exe" -home c:/yourfoldername/ which will create a folder called yourfoldername on the root of your c drive where your game will run from. After this folder is created it is a good idea to copy over your ini files so you keep your prefs as you remember them.
Q I use steam and I cannot connect to the game, it says invalid CDKeyA. Steam has an issue where it does not save the Cdkey correctly all the time. If you run into this issue you will have to create your own ini text file with your cdkeys in it.
You should put this file in your application folder as shown below.
C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\neverwinter nights 2
Create a text document called nwncdkey.ini using something like notepad.
In this document write
[CDKEY]
Key1=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
Key2=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
key3=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
For the XXXX's those obviously should be YOUR keys. To get your keys, go to your Steam Library by Right-Clicking Neverwinter Nights 2, and selecting View Game CD Key. The first key goes after Key1=, the second key after Key2=, and the last one after Key3= above.
Q The game does not recognize my bioware/EA account username or says my user name already existsA. The user logins used in game ARE NOT used on this forum, with EA, or related to what you would expect. They are the same as logins used on a discontinued forum this forum you are in is replacing. If you have ANY issue like this, you should create a new user name and login from inside neverwinter nights 2 as there is no way to resolve the issue. Some logins are also just known to be wonky, and sometimes this has to do with using extended, foreign characters or spaces. If you are having issues remove any characters not in the ranges between A-Z, a-z or 0-9 and see if that does better.
