Neverwinter Nights 2 - DVD drive unhook

[OverlordQ]

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 ?

Well, it doesn't crash for me.
Btw, what is crash error you get?

Does it crash with original disc in drive?

Here's how I got it to work

Install Neverwinter nights 2

Update the game using the ingame updater

Run Daemon Tools (I'm using 4.03) - all emulation on

Mount the poseden maxi nwn2 image

Exit/Quit Daemon tools

Launch NWN2

Hi.

Where do I find this maxi image?

Best regards
Rasmus

Obviously, on GCW. Read the forum stickies and the forum FAQ.

Marcus and P22, u guys are lucky (and happy :-) )

for me it does not work with the maxi image (but it does with the orig CD)
with the maxi i get an error in nwnmain.exe

look in page 4 - i posted there the error i get

This is beyond weird

I have:

1) Installed and patched the game to 1.02

2) Downloaded and installed Daemon Tools 4.6 and Alcohol 120% (which comes with SPTD 3.5)

3) Downloaded and mounted the maxi image with DT (tried with all emulations and none) Same with A120

4) Tried launching the game only to get an error saying "Original disc could not be found or authenticated" I've tried everything I can think of, any suggestions as to what I might have done wrong?

Thanks in advance.

[MarcusG]

you aren't by any chance using the reloaded crack as well as using the poseden image?

[YucK]

No, not using any crack atm. I used the crack with the 1.01 but I had some issues with a black input box over my chat and some other video bugs. So I had to upgrade. Reinstalled the whole thing and patched it to 1.02. Should be all new files then, no?

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.

[MarcusG]

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.

[YucK]

I will give reinstalling another shot. Then I will post back here with all the steps I did. Will also try an older version of DT. When I install Alcohol120 it said that SPDT was installed with it. This should cover DT aswell?

Edit: It did not work this time around either Any help would be great. The only thing I have noticed is that it takes quite some time to mount the image in DT and A120. Around a min or so I'd say. The same goes for extracting it (although that could be because of the size).

Is it possible to make my own? Or would I be better of trying to get this one working?
