Neverwinter Nights 2 - DVD drive unhook

[SixSatori]

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.

this way work on my comp i unistalled the optic driver and it worked
BE SURE to not load any procyone.exe or yasu.exe or else it wont work

tnx much Chuck U. Farlie

Can someone run NWN 2 with the new patch 1.02 using the image? I tried everything here.

well i just deinstelled my dvd drives from the devicemanager andthe game starts with 1.02, i didnt delete the scsi key from the registry or anything else.

those are seriously drastic steps.. disabling the stuff on board, or deleting it all together SHOULD have a disclaimer attached to it..

sometimes it amazes me what measures people are actually willing to go...

lol i just tried to start the game without disabling dvd drives or anything elese and the game starts! i just mounted the maxi image nothing else.

If I just use the maxi-image when I run the game it says 'Original disc could not be found or authenticated.' and if I uninstall the DVD drive and remove the key it says the same thing. Any ideas? I'm using the Bender image, the Poseden one can't even mount it.

Bender image doesn't work for me (gives that same error).
But poseidon one works (with newest DT4.06, SPTD1.35 and YASU 1.01).

It works with both 1.00 and 1.01 version of NWN2.

Haven't tested it with 1.02 (rereleased version). Can anyone confirm does it work or not?
