The staged directory is what the in game automatic downloader is using.

I even thought to make a folder that says BG in the campaigns folder to put the cam file into and it still gives me that same error code... I'm at a loss as to how to proceed with this. I've never not had the auto updater work when I was on Windows 7. I'm using the same GOG version of the game... I don't get it.

Hey WhatsInTheBox, you can download the .cam file here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gwpuq89wt5jlz ... n.CAM?dl=0

Once you've downloaded it, put it in your Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/Campaigns/BG folder. It should be the only file in the "BG" folder.

You also want to make sure you're saving this to the Documents/My Documents section of your computer, not the C: drive where it installed. Let me know if this doesn't work for you!

The C:/Program Files/Neverwinter Nights 2 folder is not where the downloads go. The server never touches those files.

It's wherever you installed the game for saves and personal overrides.

For most people this is in Documents/My Documents. If yours isn't in there, you'll want to do some looking around. If you do a search of your computer for "bg_S1.tlk" it should bring you to the rough area you need to be (the place where the server's autodownloader previously installed its files).

Yea its under C:/GOG Games/ and there is both NWN 2 Complete and Neverwinter nights 2 complete for whatever reason, both folders seem to have exactly the same files. and then from there I put the cam file in BOTH folders mentioned above under campaigns/BG and they are the only file in said folder

If someone is up for it my skype is king_of_aquilonia if they wanted to help me fix this issue because I have no idea what to do... nothing seems to be working. At this point it seems I'm going to be forced to stop playing NWN 2 because I just can't get it to work.
