It mounted fine first time, but ever since it just won't. It says mounted, but nothing is shown under drive letter. Its as if its not there.

Second maxi image does not work well after patches. Only first one works when it mounts right, but it doesn't...

Does anyone know what the problem is?

It mounts fine in DT4.06

All it says is CD Drive but it's there make sure you check under emulation "All options on" then exit Dt or not I did it both ways and works fine, when on exit it asks "keep emulation options on" click yes and thats it.

The image works fine, I updated yesterday to 1.02 and it works great make sure you have SPTD 1.35 installed, YASU didn't work with me so try it without it first.

Good luck.

SPTD is not needed, I dont have it installed and it worked fine for me.

Yep Posedens maxi image works fine for playing NWN2 up to the 1.02 patch. It doesn't list the file contents when mounted but hey I only want to play the game lol. Using the latest Alcohol (4629 build) and DT 4.06 both work.

hello,

this game really worked me up

so i have tried everything u guys said.

installed DT 406
installed last SPTD
mount image - exit Dtools (leave emulators on)

and now i get a Windows error :
"everwinter Nights 2 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"

"AppName: nwn2main.exe AppVer: 1.0.2.809 ModName: nwn2main.exe
ModVer: 1.0.2.809 Offset: 009afc80"

_______________________

before installing last SPTD - i cound not run any version of the game (without the original CD)
i was getting the same error even with Yasu or even with disabeling my CD (i even tried both maxi images in GCW)
the error was something like (original CD could not be dedected...)

please any advice about making it work will be much appreciated
thx

After installing the 1.02 patch, NWN crashes on me when I try to launch it. ANy ideas?

Ok looking over the bioware forums it seems it's related to new SecuROM, I think we need a updated maxi.

This maxi works fine. It's the securom for the game owners that are playing with the disk, that are having problems.

Try using DT 4 without the YASU and use this image "poseden_MAXI_NWN2"
It should work fine then.

what is DT 4 ?
if u mean Daemon tools, i think every1 here is using 406 - and the game crashes when i try to launch

I`m not using Yasu or anything else

any ideas ?

Hopefully this will help someone else...

I tried the various mini/maxi images and only had a little bit of luck with the posiedon version; unfortunately it locked up my PC fairly regularly due to some kind of bug it DT. I finally got things working for my English, North American DVD release, using patch 1.02. Here's how:

1. I made a full image of NWN2 using Blindwrite (I tried Alcohol, but had no luck; perhaps I was using an older version?)

2. Mounted the BT image in DT406 and the latest SPDT. Did NOT enable any kind of emulation, and did NOT use YASU.

3. Game works. Every time, with no lockups or crashes.

YucK, cannot understand why this sucker aint working for you man?

You tried a complete re-install of NWN2? - clean all the shit from temp dirs etc?


Have you tried with DT 4.03? - just a thought.
