Did you recently purchase the game from GOG?

If so they only gave one serial number and you have to send an email to customer support with the key they gave you asking for the keys to the expansion packs so you can play multiplayer.

Personally I think this is a shady way of doing business since accepting money for software and not providing the licenses is a lot like not selling the software and keeping the money the customer provided. In any case, it is what it is, and you have to contact them in order to get valid CD keys for you expansion pack. Two months ago the turn around time was about 24 hours per email, now that it's the holidays it might be a bit longer.

No i have the deluxe edition of the game. The steps i did to install were : install nwn2 then install motb then storm. Then i downloaded all the patches fromftp://ftp.atari.com/patches/nwn2/NWN2_gold_plus_Zehir/ and patched the game with http://neverwintervault.org/patch/nwn2/ ... her-tnt220 tnt's patcher. During the patching i had some missing file errors, this might be the problem. i will re-install and try again.

Oh, yeah if you were getting errors in the install, that's likely a good place to start. I thought it might be GoG because I had a similar issue when I bought the sotware.
