9676 Neverwinter Nights Client games -1 Didn't Work Followed all the instructions, didn't work. The dmclient would fail when I went to click "join internet game," the normal nwn would fail as soon as I tried to enter a game. I know it's beta, but bioware sucks! >_< <br><br>-angry for now 2003-03-20 20:58:43 0
9677 Neverwinter Nights Client games -1 Neverwinter Nights Client "...with this purchase you also get a lovely Neverwinter Nights mapkin, a spiral-bound game manual, and three plastic-coated aluminum-reinforced W1nd0z3 brand coasters." Funny, you must use Windows to get the install files but they still try to play the "dislike for windows" card. If I want to beta test I'll end up with not only their W1nd0z3 brand coasters, but some lame MS W1nd0z3 coasters as well. Very lame beta. 2003-03-20 21:51:35 0
9678 Neverwinter Nights Client games -1 Neverwinter Nights Client Why would I want to buy this game, when the official webpage says I need to make a copy of some windows users install anyway? I could just as well go with the copy only, and save the money. 2003-03-20 23:34:13 0
9679 Neverwinter Nights Client games -1 some notes on getting the client running Using that excelent tool that installs the game from the CD's, the next task is to patch. Download the BIG patch from bioware - the one you're supposed to use if things screw up. Use wine at that point (stop graaning, it beats smbclienting back and forth from your friend's windows boxen!) There's some reg key you're supposed to set to make things work easier; see the bioware nwn linux client forums for more details. it's the key that specifies where the game lives. at that point, you run the patch exe; "wine -debugmsg +err NWUpdate129.exe" did the trick for me, if memory serves. It took a few tries, but I don't htink I changed anything special to make it work. after that, life is good. the game runs best in 24 bit color depth, slow as hell in 16 bit depth. if your mouse is acting up, play with the environment variable SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE. setting it to 0 or 1 might help. anyone else got performance tips? 2003-03-20 23:54:35 0
