Game freezes when loading - SOLVED

[Legacy_Arkalezth]

               Hi all. I'm testing a module and I've ran into a strange bug that none of the other tested have reported (and there's a bunch of them). It goes like this:

The module starts normally, but when I enter a certain area, the load bar stops at a certain point, and it stays like that forever. The task manager shows the game as active when I open it, but it's just frozen.

Following the author's instructions, I re-downloaded the required files and cleaned everything not related to the module (haks, override...), tuned down the settings to a minimum, and even tried a new game, but I keep running into the same issue.

Any idea of what might be causing this?

               I've had that happen before with one or two placeables from the CEP (large buildings converted from NWN2).  I've also had it happen when one of the mythallar crystals was set to static in the toolset.

               Thanks for the reply.

I had played a previous version of the Beta a few months ago without any issues, so I thought I'd try that version again, just in case... I got the same exact problem (the frozen loading screen) in the very first area, so I couldn't even reach the area I wanted to test.

Another thing I've noticed is that some of the buildings in this module are lacking a doorway (i.e. I can't click to enter, and WASD doesn't work either). The module uses CEP, so maybe it's related to those buildings you're talking about.

Do you know of any fix/workaround?

               Based on what The Amethyst Dragon said, my guess is that your copy of the CEP is corrupted. I'd try re-downloading the CEP.

               I did, but nothing changed. "CEP_24_a.rar" from here, right?

I'll try again, but my guess is that it'll stay the same.

               Well, it's fixed now, somehow. I tried a few things, but I'm thinking it could have just been a matter of the game not being properly patched (I thought it was). Thanks both for the help, anyway.

               Are you using a GOG version of NWN from a while back? There was a brief period during which GoG was shipping a version labeled 1.69 but which had some files that were not properly patched. One of the problems is that some doors didn't show up for everyone. (I ended up noticing this when a LAN partner couldn't go through a key door in Aielund, but it worked for me and my machine was the server.)

They only shipped that version for a short while, but the doorway sounds like the same thing.

               Yeah, that must be it. The updater said 1.69, but installing the patch manually fixed it.
