Servers crashing
« on: October 20, 2013, 04:45:03 am »


                I started to play MP today on windows 7, and when I joined a MP server the starting location loading always stopped at something like 10-20% of the blue bar and then my game crashes. Solution please ?

               Disable any virus protection, spam blockers, antiphishing software and drop the firewall.

If that solves the problem, you'll need to decide if you want to play that way or not.  It's risky.

               If it's only your client that crashes then you could try to empty your override folder, if there are any files in there. You can rename it temporarily and see if there are still isues.

Otherwise you can try compatibility mode for Windows XP or try this, if you haven't already:

For any performance issue/crashing

1. Find nwnplayer.ini in your main install folder (which should be c:/neverwinter nights/nwn ) and open it with notepad.
2. Find the line "Client CPU Affinity=0" in the "[Game Options]" section.
3. Change the "0" to "1"
4. If that doesn't work, experiment with different values in the same line. I have seen lots of different numbers given as advice and one of our vista computers needed it set to -2, but BW reccommends 1.



If the whole server crashes try to set its compatibility mode to Windows XP and run it as administrator. Our server often crashed very often, when a DM tried to log in and it wasn't set to run as administrator.

               If you downloaded NWN from a source like GoG, you still need to do the Critical Rebuild for 1.69. Not doing so often causes crashing when joining MP.
