Opening A Store

[Legacy_A Darker Shade of Soul]

               Freezes up the screen and boots the player. It's only happening to one player. The player can do everything else just fine including talking to the store owner but as soon as the pc uses the convo and the store opens up to inventory the screen freezes and boots her saying NWN has closed due to a problem. Any ideas? No one else is having this issue at all.

               Actually the error message just says Neverwinter Nights has stopped working. The player is running on windows 7 and has played on the module several times before but now they have returned after a hiatus and this just started happening. They can travel through transitions and cast spells etc.

               very probably this player has wrong 2DAs, especially baseitems.2da, I had similars issues with wrong baseitems.2da before

               Please furnish more details.

If this is not happening while playing the vanilla campaigns, identify the module where this IS occurring. 

Is this a vanilla installation or are there any custom overrides, haks or other custom utilities installed (like CEP, PRC, etc.)?

If this is a purely vanilla v1.69 installation and crashing while playing one of the default campaigns, I would first try reinstalling a few times (Trust me.  This has helped more than a few members). Then if the problem persists, furnish full system/hardware specs as recommended in the Start Here sticky at the head of the Tech Support forum, preferably editted into your original post.

               Okay, the standard vanilla campaigns work fine. The module this is happening on is a hak server named Daggerdale. System specs are
Manf. ACER
Model: AspireX3400
Proc.: AMD Athlon II X3 435 Processor 2.90 Ghz
RAM: 4.00 GB
System Type: 64-BIT OS


As for the .2das they are in the folder. How can I check if that is the issue?

Well, this is more a question for the PW subforum and/or the admins of Daggerdale if they have their own website & forum.  They would know better what may have occurred in the custom installation of their haks/overrides.  It's possible they may have updated their haks since you previously DL'd them so I would first check to see if that may be the case.

If the game plays fine on vanilla, it's not a techical problem unless the resource demands of Daggerdale exceed the capacity of your current rig, which is entirely possible.  But if you've played there in the past with a similar machine that probably is not an issue.  Like I indicated before... the server admins are in the best position to make useful suggestions for you as those of us who do not play there can only make guesses.

I AM the server admin and I have NO IDEA what has happened. The player is my wife. She had to reboot her pc and when we reinstalled nwn and the haks for the server this problem occurred. I've reinstalled it once already today but still have the same problem. Her rig has the resources available. She just played but didn't use a store. Any ideas you could point me to would be greatly appreciated. No other player is having this trouble. As for overrides we don't use any and she only has the req'd haks installed for her to play. Could there be a corrupt file possibly?

               Download the critical update is my suggestion. It sounds like the .2da in question that is modified in the HAK perhaps has lines from a new version of NWN, which perhaps, the installation of her copy, is not updated to or was not updated to properly, even if it has 1.69.

There is a copy, I think from GOG.com, that lists the game as being updated to 1.69 in the nwmain.exe launch menu but is not 1.69 at all.

It's a shot in the dark that whatever is in the inventory of the store, is not in her version of NWN, so it crashes.

A good test would be to have her open the module in the toolset on her computer and view the inventory of the store that is causing the problem. If the toolset barfs out an exception error, you have your culprit.

FP!

               Does this module use CEP 2.3? If so, have her also run the CEP Updater or download CEP 2.4 instead. The "so called" full CEP 2.3 version on the Vault still requires the updater to be ran.

Wow, you know this might very well work. I wasn't aware of this. I'll try it and see how it goes. Thanks for the insight. I'll come back and let you know either way.

Awesome advice. My wife thanks you very much and so do I. That was exactly what was wrong. I installed the 2.4 even though the module uses 2.3 and it works like a charm. Thanks again!
