How do I get NWN multiplayer to work?

[Kuso-kun]

Alright, first, get rid of the Fairlight patch, it doesn't work. Put back on the Deviance 1.19 crack. In order to play this online, you have to add a line to your "hosts" file for Windows. The file is located in

Windows 2000/XP:

/%System Root%/system32/drivers/ect/
(I don't know where it is at on Windows9x, might want to do a search)

In that directory you should see a file named "hosts" without a file extension. Just open it up with a text editor. It should have an entry that looks like this:


127.0.0.1 localhost

Just add this line right underneath it:

127.0.0.2 nwmaster.bioware.com

Then save the file and make sure it still doesn't have a file extension if you used notepad. That basically tells windows that whenever an application or browser wants the domain address "nwmaster.bioware.com" (the Bioware address that validates keys) it will try to connect to 127.0.0.2 (which is a personal ip instead of a global one) and will ping out and not check your cd key.

You should be able to connect to other people who have also cracked the game. The only drawback to this is, each person in the game HAS to have a different Serial Number. It won't let you join if someone has the same Serial Number. So you might want to look for a keygen as well.

If you ever go out and buy the game (which you should, lol), then just remove that line from your "hosts" file, and everything should work as normal.

If you have any questions, you can email them to me at kuso_kun**********com, and i'll answer whatever ones i can. Don't know if they will remove this post from the forums or not, but you might want to save the info somewhere just in case they do.
