If you're talking about that annoying GPU heating red swirly crap, try downloading this and dropping it into your override folder. Should reduce the background completely to black. To remove it, just delete that file from your override folder, or rename it.

Hope that helps.

BTW, that one background is the most GPU intensive thing in NWN, even beyond the game itself.

Sweet, thats much better, thanks

Inayity,



You have done a really incredible job, thank you very much.



But there is one thing though, the fact that you, a fan, costumer, player, had to go to the trouble to achieve something like this so that us, other players, costumers who have bought and paid for a game have a chance to play it, still doesn't address Bioware's lack of responsibility and respect to their costumers who are the great responsible ones for their success.

I say this because I sent a few emails to them a long time ago regarding this issue and they never answered, probably never gave a s***. What they have done, leaving us unable to play something we bought and paid for is well worthy of a lawsuit, they just don't care because they know it's not going to happen, it's an old game and just a few bucks for a module, no one would bother going through a lawsuit for this; had something like that happened to a new released game they would fix it right away, if nothing else but so that more people could buy it.



But although we are not suing them for something so small, we could always fight back and they should think about that, while I have always purchased their games, I don't see a reason not to get a pirated Dragon Age II once it comes out. After all, if I paid something and they took from me, it´s only fair I get something from them without paying.



Enough rambling, thank you again Inayity, you deserve much respect for this.

Thanks for posting these; made my Staycation!

While it appears that the needed codes to play are on my older system, if I ever am able to get them again, I am still very grateful for these links!

I have to agree with everyone on here! Thanks for the great work. I have noticed that Bioware is going to pot. I LOVED Mass Effect 1, but the sequal, which I pre-ordered, so impressed was I, was horrible. Combined with the mess they have made with NWN 2 and the support of NWN, despite the continued fanbase has left me seriously searching for a new gaming company. I am also disillusioned with Blizzard, I am not an MMORPG player and they seem to care not at all unless you are one. Used to be a fan of EA a long time ago too. Who is making good RPG's these days?

CD Project Red. Witcher and now Witcher 2 is coming  out. And they still have all the older downloads from Witcher 1 to available, like Enhanced Edition and stuff.

Also Gothic 4: Arcania is pretty nice, good graphics, good gameplya, very fun for spending a few hours playing.


Thanks Inayity again. I´ll remember to always thank him in all Bioware´s forums.

Obsidian, ie. Fallout New Vegas

Piranha Bytes, ie. Risen

A long story short: I bought NWN1 Deluxe boxset second hand and a few of the premium modules were on a burned CD in the box. I played through the original and two official expansion and I thought what the heck and installed the premium modules as well. Low and behold there is this authentication stuff and I can't get it to play properly. One because the modules aren't linked to my CD key and two because I'm behind a Uni-firewall and the connection won't go through (the proxy blocks all com ports except for 80...gargh). Any suggestions on how to get the modules to play without the need for authentication?

[Link_Highwind]

Thanks for this! I bought all the modules a long time ago, ended up losing my disc. Got the GOG version and then realized, you can't get these easily anymore, until I did a little snooping.

[deathmonkey2k5]

What happens if someone who never bought these premium modules tries to install them?

[ShinsFortress]

It won't work, as when puchased the NWN login data was registered.  It's no longer possible to register, I think.

I really like Infinite Dungeons.  I was miffed when it went a bit screwy after the otherwise excellent 1.69 game update.

That sucks ass. As greedy as Atari is sometimes, you would think they would want to make money on something like these and therefore make them available for purchase. The fact that there is official content out there that I am unable to play is just bothersome to me.

I came across these while helping a friend get setup under Linux.  These link to each of the Premium module installers.  These are only useful to folks who purchased the Premium modules while the BioWare store was still selling them.  They're useless to anyone else.

These premium modules are unsupported in any and every way by BioWare/EA.  If you require assistance on them your best bet is to peruse the Premium Modules section on the old BioWare site.

ShadowGuard plus Witch's Wake

Just had the itch to reinstall NWN today and man you are a lifesaver, I didn't think these existed anywhere on the net anymore lol Now, I just have to find my cd keys. Somehow

[Grogbayne]

Oh man you have no idea how happy this makes me. Been fuming for a full week with Bioware getting me nowhere fast. Thanks so much, works perfectly and I just finished a good session of Infinite Dungeons!

You are a NWN savior!

[Lomondra]

Yes, thank you thank you thank you!!!
I purchased all these too long ago, all except for Pirates I believe. I wasn't too hip on the shark thing when it came out LOL. I had asked on this EA forum about the Bioware Store being supported and what happens to the games we had CD Keys for and purchased, and numerous times I was corrected and told, oh silly me, don't I know anything, the Bioware store, for years has only carried clothes and stuff, no software. I felt like pulling my hair out, it was exasperating to say the least. Well, now I'm happy that one situation is behind me, yaaaaay!

Thank you for those links! I purchased all these a while back and didn't have them archived!

Started to download these, and I understand we will need of course our CD Keys for these Premium Modules when we purchaed them, that's ok, I had listed these down actually; but...

since they are Premium Modules, the Start Menu Folder needs to be located on the same menu as the regular NWN1 Chapters, and I don't remember that path for download.  Anyone remember please and thank you?

Actually, the start menu option is not even an issue.  Once you install these, (they are all self installers) even if they don't put the start menu where you want them, it doesn't matter.

Start nwn, open new game, and choose them from the list.

I've previously purchased Wyvern Crown of Cormyr before I decided to play NWN2.
Downloaded the link posted above. All the other modules worked fine (downloaded only three btw, I have NWN Diamond). They still have that connect DRM thingy and I was still able to play them. It seems to remember my key. But the thing with the WCoC, the link posted above is a beta version of the module. O.o

Alot of bugs when it comes to mounts and horses. Plus it still has that journal entry of being a beta release. I don't remember seeing that journal entry years back when I played WCoC, though I might be wrong (geez, almost a decade... I think? o.O )

Anyway, I guess Atari doesn't give that much support to the modules above due to the age of the game. Just posting to inform you guys that its the beta release (or maybe it isn't. LoL. I really don't remember that journal entry ingame)

Really? The server is down? Howcome it says "Please wait while we connect" blahblahblah
I was able to finish PotSC and ID though, didn't bothered with WCoC due to that journal entry.
Didn't have issue with the connect thingy, I just waited for a moment and played the module.

So that means anyone can download and play them now? O.o

Too many questions. LoL. I feel like Deekin right now. "Deekin wonders..."

So does anyone know if the original people that made these modules continued to put the continued storyline on any of the community modules sites? Or are we just going to have to finish the stories ourselves?

Sadly, what was started was never finished, that is, for those modules that actually left the story open or incomplete at the end.

FP!

[Zenyattaa]

Thought I'd throw this quick reply up. It seems if you bought the diamond edition off GOG.com you can download those premium packs from the links and they function perfectly fine.

Which links? the .exe files or the .zip ones?

[wtatashi]

Thanks very much for these links! I was fortunate enough to have purchased Kingmaker (with Shadowguard and Witch's Wake) from a store (on CD) but could never find the other premium modules; I figured they were never released on disc.

So thank you very much for the links!

I assume the .exe links; I think the .zip links for for Linux only.
