My fix for "CD Key is unregistered"

I did not see this posted when I searched, so I decided to share this.

When attempting to login into the multiplayer, I received the "CD Key is unregistered" error. I found this one rather vexing.


The fix was to create a text file called nwncdkey.ini, and put it into the home directory for the game. Note the file name is not nwn2cdkey.ini like a person would think it would be, but rather nwncdkey.ini.

The home directly is likely going to be \Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\

Although it can be moved to where ever you want with the -home command line arguement ex: NWLauncher.exe -home G:\nwn2Home

Now that I have confused that up nicely, lets go to the instructions for creating nwncdkey.ini:

Code: Select all

[CDKEY]

Key1=key-1-From-Steam-platinum

Key2=key-2-From-Steam-expansion-1

Key3=key-3-From-Steam-expansion-2

0.0.0.0 nw2master.bioware.com
0.0.0.0 nwn2.master.gamespy.com

I suggest using notepad. You can find the keys in steam by:
opening up your games library -> right clicking the neverwinter nights 2 game -> Manage -> CD Keys

click the key to copy to clip board, be sure to save the file


That fixed the issue for me, if you have this issue, I hope it fixes it for you. Good luck to who ever finds this when they search for it a long time from now.
