Neverwinter Nights 2 - DVD drive unhook

[P22]

Now, this thing is just weird.
I got courage to test 1.02.
And here are my observations.
YASU is blacklisted (nwn2 won't start).

But, if I remove YASU and keep running daemon tools, game will work.

So, I have no idea what SecuRom guys are doing, but it seems while YASU is blacklisted with NWN1.02, Daemon Tools is not anymore.

could you please do a step step guide here on the 1.02, cause everyone else can not seem to figure this out

Ok, what worked for me:
-installed DT4.06
-installed STPD1.35
-mounted poseidon mini-image with DT
-started patched 1.02 game (no any kind of SecuRom loader necessary)

Step 1. Install Daemon Tools v4.06 & SPTD v1.35 (v4.06 doesnt come with SPTD v1.35)

Step 2. Download Poseden image from here http://m0006.gamecopyworld.com/games...nights_2.shtml

Step 3. Mount the image and run the game. Should work with version NWN 2 v1.02 too. (The image won't show up on the virtual drive)

it worked, but one must start from the loader menu not the exe itself

I tried every step for 1.02 and it still doesn't work, any ideas?

Hi!

I also had lots of trouble with patch 1.02 and mounting my image.
Finally, I got it working:

1. I use my own image (direct dvd-image created with alcohol 120%, DPM Speed: max)
BUT: I guess it's not important which image you use. You just should not use any crap stuff like with Nero created images!!

2. I use Daemon Tools 4.08 HE / 1.38 SPTD

3. I can start the game via "nwn2main_amdxp.exe"

BUT: Now i come to my solution:

It can happen that this error message appeares:

Original Disc not found! Please insert Original Disc! (just sense-translated -.-)

4. Now start Starforce Nightmare and disable CD / CH1 / CH2. Close it and start NWN2.
-> Now you will get an error message, that says that Neverwinter Nights 2 caused an error and has to be closed.

5. Now start Starforce Nightmare and enable CD / CH1 / CH2. Close it and start NWN2 via "nwn2main_amdxp.exe"!

Now the game should start every time, if not just repeat step 4&5!

I don't know why it works. I just know that it works. Yeah dudes, that's a fool's luck. ;O Perhaps someone knows why my method works for me

Now it should work! - It almost works for me so perhaps this post can help someone.
