Can't start game!
« on: August 25, 2010, 12:04:55 pm »


               I'm running on Windows XP and i can't run the game. I've got everything installed but when i press play, it comes up with the Neverwinter Sign (The splash screen?) and then it just leaves the screen and the game doesn't start.

Help?

I've tried the NWN Main from the folder and that won't start it. I've heard the Override folder is suppose to be empty too. Plus i've heard about something called the "Critical Rebuild"? I've tried updating, i think it did it once but it won't update again.

EDIT: I've just tried the patch 1.69 Critical Rebuild by downloading from Bioware Website and then running it but i got an error. Help please!

               There's suppose to be a problem with the file Mss32.dll

               Something may have gone wrong when you first installed NwN causing a corrupt mss32.dll.  If that's the case (and that is a BIG "if"), you can try to copy the Mss32.dll directly from the Windows_data.zip on the DVD (assuming you are using the Diamond game version) to the respective NwN folders.  Take note that there appears to be two locations where it gets installed  (NWN and NWN/miles) and there are two distinct files in the zip with the same name.  Whether there is any difference between them, I can't tell you, so would be best to place each one separately in the corresponding folder.

Another possibility (without knowing anything about your current installation) is that you may have DL'd the wrong Critical Rebuild for your game version.

If it is NOT a corrupt dynamic library file, please simulate a Tech seat at your machine by displaying your full system specs as recommended here.  The more thorough you are, the faster the community will be able to make effective suggestions to get you operating properly again.

Good luck, mate!
