How to fix registry to allow NWNlauncher to work?

Unread post by Hoihe »

Somehow I managed to lose my NWN2 registry entries somewhere. Wondering if I can fix them without having to reinstall.

I think re-install is fastest. Just copy the contents of your NWN2 folder in your 'My Documents' folder to another folder, and you should be able to just copy and paste the files back after re-install, no need for that long redownload.
