Anyone with Windows 10 not able to play?

Unread post by Zorn »

I cannot log in period. I know that Neverwinter Nights lost a bunch of serial codes but I was playing before on an older windows version with no issue. I run windows 10.

anyone have any known issues with running the game?

I did have some issues with tabbing screens when I upgraded to WIN10. Have you checked to ensure that you are running the game in compatibility mode? That solved my issues (I personally run in Win8 compatibility).

I am using Windows 10 and even the infamous DM client works flawlessly. By inability to log in, where do you mean?

No problems at all either. By not being able to play do you mean that your game loads correctly but you are not able to connect to BGTSCC?

Hey, there!

I was able to actually get the game open and single player seems to all be in order, but it says all my Cdkeys are now invalid. Which is strange because I was able to open the game about a year ago on an older windows version. Thus I assumed that it may be a windows 10 issue.

However, I am not entirely sure if my cdkeys are being read popular. Windows 10 has had some issues with games like Skyrim because they take the cdkeys from your documents . . and I have about three places with documents in them (User files, One Drive, and Public). And these locations are "read-only" locked and I am not able to change them. I'm not sure which one the game files are supposed to properly be in, but they pop in my user files.

I remember that the original cdkeys got "lost" or something when the creators of never winter nights2 company stopped caring about the game and many people had to buy the game from another source that was not steam . .

If you bought your most recent copy of NWN2 from GOG then this might help. If you haven't, I'm all out of ideas!

I'm going to try to play around with steam version's a little more. I don't know why it wouldn't work.

I uninstalled it a few days back but I decided to be stubborn and try again since I really could go for some Roleplaying, Last I tried I could get into single player gameplay, but when I try to enter multiplayer it claims that my CD-keys are invalid or something. The Direct COnnect button on this website also didn't work. If I still cannot figure it out I am going to try it through GoG!

Thanks in advance, I'll let you know if I get in.

I haven't had any problems with Windows 10 and NWN2.

It broke a few things, but NWN2 was not one of them.

Yep. Done all that. I really think that maybe my old cdkeys are simply ... lost. Well, I'll try gog perhaps. Not too expensive there.

Windows 10 has been good for me save breaking games lol

If you get new CD keys, you will probably need your accounts reset in order to log onto them. Just let DM Golem and myself know if you are booted from the game following a new install with new keys.

GoG worked! I'll let you know if there is a reset required, Maecius!

Thanks Tsidkenu for the post on GoG, and others for your help! Hope to see you in game at some point.
