Hi, I am new to this game, It looks fantastic but I can't play it because of compatibility issues to windows 10. Is there anything I can do to bypass this and let me play on windows 10? I searched the web and saw that it worked on previous version of windows but I don't get why windows 10 is not compatible. Please help me I know it's an old game but I like playing old games  '<img'>  '<img'> so if anyone able to play this on windows 10 so please help me. Thankyou!  '<img'>  '<img'>  '<img'>  '<img'>  ':wub:'  ':wub:'  ':wub:'  ':wub:'

Game works fine in Windows 10 - follow the installation instructions for Windows 8 in the self-help thread. If installing the GOG version of diamond make sure you install it to C:/NeverwinterNights/NWN - NOT the default location the GOG installer wants to use. After its installed, run the 1,69 Critical Rebuild, then set the EXE files to use Windows XP Service Pack 3 mode.


 


Depending on your system's configuration, you'll get different mileage out of the game. For example, some people have to use compatibility mode while others don't, some have to use Run as Admin while others don't, etc. Its more trial and error than anything else. AND if it's some Microsoft compatibility wizard telling you the game cannot run in Windows 10, well everyone knows Microsoft don't know crap... 


 


There is more information on mine and others' personal experiences with NWN and Windows 10 HERE.
