Neverwinter nights private lan fix

Lagesek · #1 21-06-2002, 16:33

I downloaded this file fdx-nwns118r from a few of the mirrored hosts listed and it is corrupt? I cannot extract it. Using 2.11 of winace.

Suggestions?

The file has been compressed using the latest version of WinRAR, WinACE cant decompress this properly, either go to www.winace.com and download the 'patch' to make it compatiable with the new rar compression or download the latest version of WinRAR at www.rarlabs.com

I'm having a problem with the files in the fdx-nwns118r.rar When I use the files and start the game, it asks me for the cd key.... and I already entered one.

Anyone else get this problem?

Ya, I hada use WinRAR to open the files. PowerDesk wouldn’t do it. But even with them opened right and installed into the game dir it still gives a ‘CD key in use’ when I try and join a LAN game.

What are we doing wrong VLuka?

Also I got an email from someone with a phony CD key asking me if I’d like to swap keys so both of us would be able to play LAN games. So if you’re going to go that route be sure to check out any key code before sending out yours.

Did they create a second keygen specifically for version 1.18? Where could I get a copy of that?

I have 1 store bought $55 authentic NWN 3 CD game which comes with 1 CD code. I’ve used it to install the game on my computer and the kid’s computer. If I try and play a LAN game, with or without the private LAN fix installed, it gives a message on the computer trying to join that the CD key (that is used during installation of the game on both machines) is already in use.

I’m under the impression that that is what the fix is suppose to fix. Or do I have to do something else also?

So what good is it then? If you have valid CD keys then it doesn't matter if it "calls home" or not, does it?

I'm not sure I understand the benefit of turning off 'calling home'? I was under the impression that the 1.8 LAN and Private Internet fix would do just that - fix it so I could play with 2 or more players with only a single CD Key.

Can anyone explain?

I think my confusion stemmed from the fact that I had used the incorrect keygen. After logging onto <cut> and reading the post there, I can see that there is a specific Keygen for 1.8 as opposed to 1.0. I'm not certain why that is (aren't they the same keys?!?). Still, I have yet to try this and I remain unconvinced that it will work.

Can anyone claim that they've had no problem using the Private Internet and LAN fix with the 1.8 Keygen?

GCW doesn't post keygens, so I wouldn't know how to get my hands on it sorry.

<cut>

I'll post if I can get it working.
