Neverwinter Nights 2 - DVD drive unhook

[Ganymed]

Does anybody if its possible to get the patches for NWN2 _without_ the game launcher download?

for an unknown reason I am no longer able to patch. I got it (only once) working to patch to version 1.1, but nothing further. the updater always quits with an error that an update file could not be found.... I re-installed, tried everything but its always the same error... thats why I am asking for a source of standalone-patches (if there are any existing)

thx

Yes, actually.

THere is a thread over on the Bioware forums that has DL links to them.

I hoping that we get a crack fast once the 1.03 patch is done.

The game's graphics have dissapointed me so far. oh well.

Btw, how are mini-images doing with 1.03 final?
Any feedback?

Look again...
Anyway, it worked for me with just DT4.08 and poseidon image. Same like 1.02.

Hey folks... Now i´ve got this terrible Error directly after Chapter One.. My "Points of interests" in the Main Map are deleted.. Lots of Gamers have this problem, too.

Someone at Bioware´s says, that this will be fixed @1.03

So, i have also look for "crackfree" gaming possibilities. first with Patch 1.02..


I´ve tried:
Poseden + BenderMaxi-Image
Yasu 1.02b + 1.03
Securomv7.26Loader
AntiBlahv1.0
DT 4.08HT Emu-Opts ON/OFF

Only the Combination Poseden/Bender+ DT 4.08 Emu ON (Exit DT) + Yasu 1.03
gives me no "Emulator detected".. but NWN2 crashes with the main Windows Error. In all other Combinations, Emulator will be detected.

But: i dont remove the cables from the physical drive...i´ve only checked "deactivated"...


I think, this Windows Error dont relates to NWN.. maybe from Yasu?

Someone more ideas to beat the Securom 7.2.xx??

Have you tried this with original disc in?
Does it crash also?

[Renegades25]

Sure!
The emulator is also be detected...

But thats not my attempt.. i want to use NWN on my Notebook..but Securom dont allowe me using the DVD with the DVD-Rom of the Notebook....

i hate this behavior.. i´ve paid 50Euros for a copy-protected game and it dont works with everything..

..Grrr

Even with original disk?
Then I guess you have some of blacklisted programs working in background. Try to turn them all off (virtual drives, etc...), and then try with original disk.

The reason I say this is just to make sure, does the crash behavious happens due to the game itself or due to copy protection.

Oh, thats good to hear.
Please, could you (or anybody else) specify where I could find it.
At the Bioware NWN forums there are so many topics about patches and downloads (when I use search) I cant find the correct thread.

thx

Hi, new here. Had only just started using images, so yer can call me a newbie.

Ran into a problem yesterday. I used the image from GCW(can't remember the name, the 2nd link?) and had no problems running it with DT 4.03 only. Then later, I created an image for my FM07 cd and mounted it to play.

After that, without mounting back the NW2 image, I accidentally started the game and it told me to put my CD in the drive and try again. So I mounted back the NW2 image, but this time when I ran it, it says it has detected the emulator software(presume that would be the DT as I don't use anything else) and asked to remove it. I was playing NW2 1.02 without any problems previously but now I can't get it to work again.

Could it be because I tried to start the game without the correct image and then it(it being SecureROM I think ) realized that I am using an emulator and has blacklisted DT? I've tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling it, but it stays the same.

Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers in advance.
