Neverwinter Nights 2 - DVD drive unhook

[Chuck U. Farlie]

No mechanical actions are required whatsoever.

Mount the image in DT 4.06, sptd.sys 1.35.
Other software with low-lvl drivers on my rig: AnyDVD, Nero, Alcohol *without* virtual drives and the vaxscsi.sys driver.

Disable or if disabling doesn't help - delete (uninstall) your physical optical disk drivers from device manager (will be restored after reboot).

Using regedit.exe, mercilessly delete the HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi
key in its entirety (will also be restored and rebuilt upon next reboot).

Now you need no emulators/loaders/hiders and so on. Just play the game from the launcher.

Guess it is a temporary solution, but it works fine with full image every time, haven't checked with the mini/maxi ones.

Just noticed that GCW has a no-DVD fixed exe(s) for the game.

No need for all this nonsense. Just replace exe

Isn't it just for 1.00 version?

I have been looking for a while and trying out different thing, but nothing works. I have tryed what the person suggested in a different post, but as soon as I disable my local cd and lunch nwn2main.exe and crashes a second later. If I keep my local cd enabled, the game detects my dt-406 with game loaded it and doesnt let me continue, if I use anty-blah, I get cannot access the module error. Is there anyways to get nwn 2 1.02 to work???

And allso I cannot use v1.0 or 1.01 cause I get 128 meg video card bug, which then crashes my game, allthough my vid is 128 meg and it is on supported list.


**The quote below which I have referred to in my text does not work for me. It is just for the reference.**

@darksniperx
Did you even read the post by 'LordHalbert2' which is 2 posts above yours!

[darksniperx]

if you read my post carefully, I have said that I have read the solution that was posted 2 post b4 mine, and I said that I did follow it and, and that it did not WORK!. I have also seen that it is a temporary WORKING! solution, but it does not work for me, cause as soon as I disable my ide drive, the nwn2 crashes b4 it even loads. the .exe encountered an error and needs to exit. That is why I am asking is there is another working solution.

Ok it appears you have not read my post carefully!

2 posts above your posts! So you needed to read post # 13 which says:
