No one can get to the server screen with any version of Windows because Gamespy doesn't host NWN anymore. Try using this: http://www.nwnlist.com/and find the direct connect IP to the server you want to play on.

               You'll need to install NWNCX, I believe. Default Gamespy was shut down, we use our own custom stuff now.

You should download and install NWNCX, this will restore the in game server list;  for an external, more modern server browser use neverrun, if you want.  If you prefer a web site nwnlist.com is really the only option, tho it's rather lacking in features and [removed].

That last part about it being ''scummy'' was really uncalled for. Someone worked really hard on making a list when there wasn't one and that's a crappy way to repay their work.

Fair dooz, I'll remove that bit.  I personally think it's wrong for the creator of that site to claim it costs 300$/yr to run when it runs on Heroku free tier and probably costs 10$/yr.  A lot of people (myself included) happily contribute things for nothing, but you're right and it isn't my place to make any judgement, so I apologize.  It is definitely the best web interface available.

You're probably right that it doesn't cost nearly as much as they say, but they do host both NWN1 and 2 server lists, so maybe a bit more than $10/year '<img'>
