EA shutting down NWN1 & NWN2 30th of June

June 30th section has a link that leads here: http://www.ea.com/ne...sted-on-gamespy explaining that it has everything to do with Gamespy.

But you may be right, they may shut down master server as well. I still think it's unlikely, but I'll try to find a solution before that date.

Seems the masterserver still works for the premium module authentication. (See here.)

Note that you apparently cannot have your hosts file edited for Skywing's listing AND play Infinite Dungeons/Pirates/Witch's.  Can make a copy of the edited hosts and swap them as needed, though.

You don't need to modify hosts unless you are a server who needs to report back to the master server for status updates,

for online play players just need to use the client X / loader and the skywing dll to replace master server.

 

Currently i can log on pws just fine with the new dll and play still play premiums, both verifying far faster than old gamespy ever did.

The only hosts change i have is for the new IGN vault dns.

If you want to host a multiplayer game that others can see without direct connect you need to modify hosts, regardless if it's a campaign or server.  That's why people would edit theirs, for example.

 

But yes, unless you specifically want to host a game AND have it visible then you don't need to touch hosts for skywing's thing.

Exellent news! Hey does anyone know if the "Ping" feature actually works when using "NWNCX_Startup"? Because ALL the servers I see in the lists/cathegories are at 75 ping... not complaining but shouldn't there a be a randomness/fluctuation between different servers? Can everyone have awesome connection speeds?


Just curious.

Yes, ping doesn't work with nwncx_serverlist.
