Hey, I am having the same problem as solmyrian. I remember having my CD key stored at bioware was easy for me, as I always lose my CD keys. But now that the forums are gone, is there anyway to recover it? I was planning to do a clean install on my PC soon, as I'm going to have to postpone it til I can reinstall NWN.


You already have a working installation?

If so, check your nwn folder for the file nwncdkey.ini, it contains a plain text version of ALL your NWN 1 cd keys.  Just copy that file somewhere or print it out, and you can reinstlal to your hearts content.

*Brain Storm* Why cant we just upload the game files with the critical rebuild in it ,ready to play to the nwvault?

xp verision

linux version

then people just need a cd key


Then Bioware/EA/Hasbro/Atari ...whoever else you can morph into can charge for CD keys  

I had watched a documentery on gorillas the other day. All was fine until they threw a bundle of bannanas in the mix.

Kinda like big cooperations.

I mean sheesh I feel like Im trying to park my car in the garage but 10   two year olds have the garage door opener and are playing.

I'll be in the toolset if anyone needs anymore smart comments.

Didn't check the link but the critical rebuild for v1.69 I used was found at:
http://files.bioware...9HotUUpdate.exe

So, if the file names match, then both are for the CR.

So, this will fully update your game from whatever it was before, up to 1.69, right? As long as you have HotU?

About a month ago I used my legacy account to change my NWN password. I've received an email stating my legacy account was closed but can still log in to the game using the newer password. Does this mean my NWN password is safe, or will I have to change that as well?

Same here,  I'll have to see if I had my keys backed up locally somewhere.  Maybe they will give those of us whos keys were compromised new keys for the products we had registered?   Maybe when pigs fly.... :ph34r:

Hmm wasn't it around here a link to the modules to NWN and NWN2 nicely separated by level range?

Can't seem to find it ><

For Neverwinter Nights, check the top (or near) of the NWN 1 Modules forum, the thread is called "Ultimate NWN1 Module List". I'm not as familiar with NWN2, but I assume a similar list exists in the corresponding forum for that game.

The NeverWinter Nights forum hack made the Sunday Edition of the Wall Street Journal. Bottom of page B4 in the Marketplace section. It even mentions the Neverwinter forum specifically. Not bad for a game this old!

Did they indicate if they would be (eventually) porting over the old cd-keys into the new system ?

Haven't said anything so most likely not.

Again have not said anything. So most likely the answer is "Bioware will never do anything to port over the information from the old forums."

Someone interested in doing it could try contacting them to see if they can get a copy of the data so they can move it over themselves, that way bioware doesn't have to invest any manpower into it.

Just a thought. they may be willing to hand you the forum threads if you ask. Then you can move them over here, or post them on http://www.neverwinternights.info (which is new and under construction.)

I haven't tried any of the DLs from gamershell.com but this is supposed to be the SoU 1.69 patch.  Whether it's the critical rebuild or not I couldn't venture a guess.

Is there some reason you are specifically looking to find a beta version???

Once I have the upload download part of Harvest Moon consortium availible I'll try to find the 1.69 crit rebuild and make it availible for download. I think I may have it on one of my computers without looking for it on the web.

Ahhh... tx, Lord S!

IIRC this was posted already somewhere, probably in this thread, but it takes too long to keep poking around in a 7 page topic to find it again.

Since all players, new and vet alike, will be needing the basic rebuild patches,  wouldn't this list be a natural sticky for the General forum?  It seems to be important enough to warrant a separate thread specifically dedicated to all the patch iink nformation that I am guessing has been buried in some of the most recent topics.

What do y'all think?  Maybe it's time for BSN to begin to emulate the legacy site information since it is becoming clear that the entire knowledge base is gone for good.   What few new NWNers pop up should have the avenues paved as smoothly as possible rather than needing to invest in a speed reading course just to find the essentials, no?
