Wineskin Update:

I'm currently using Wineskin 2.5.12 and Engine WS9Wine1.7.3 successfully. The Arsan's Hood hak problem has yet to be fixed (going on for a loooooong time now...probably won't ever get resolved). What is cool is that the overall speed of the latest Wrapper version is faster than ever before. Especially load times.

Can confirm it's really good.
No way ArsanHoods' problem can be fixed if not by some ind hearted to take a look and tell us what's wrong.

NWN2 Wineskin emulater: Wrapper 2.5.5 and Engine 1.5.8
A complete Neverwinter Nights 2 (OC, MotB, SoZ) Windoze package installed under Wineskin for emulation on the Mac. This package also includes Wineskin Winery, with a few older version of the Wrapper and Engine.

Unpacked, it is 13GB. I broke it down into 100mb segments using 7z compression. You'll need a 7z utility to unpack and un-segment.

I've stripped all the *.ini files of information, so you'll have to provide your own set of 3 CD keys, Gamespy user name, etc.

Also, there are no PW files, so you'll have to download those as well. I guess that goes without saying, but....

Furthermore, after stripping the package of all extraneous and incriminating information, I haven't actually tested if it works.

Good luck!

So I have a new MacBook Pro, thought I would give this a try. My issue: How do I actually download a torrent? I have never used Piratebay, so bear with me here.

I just checked the Seeds on this, and there is at least 1 active. Downloading speed depends on many more things that just the number of Seeds and Peers. I also have my own Seed sharing now. That should help you speed up the download. Just don't forget to update Wineskin afterwards.

OMFG.

After nearly 4 years...I can see full-faced masks again!!! Hurrah!

Seriously...you have NO IDEA the drag on enjoyment this has been, but finally, a new Engine was released that seems to have repaired the "reading" of Arsan's hak, but also, improved graphics on a whole.

It's as if the game just became new again!

The most recent Wineskin Wrapper is 2.6.2 and the Engine is WS9Wine 1.9.2
