Relevant files needed to play

[AngelUK]

Hello.

I'm Angel and firstly apologise if I have posted this in the wrong section.

I am new to the site and I thought I had downloaded all files needed to play, but when I was ready to join the game it told me I was missing several CEP Hak files. I can't seem to find my way back to where I found the files I have already downloaded. 

Thank you in advance for any help.

To be honest, it's hard to be sure what you might miss; you should consider using the Dependency Downloader:  http://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=41829.msg559491#msg559491

That should hopefully keep things simple. If you're unable to use that, we can take it from there

Maybe you downloaded CEP 2.60 but not updated to 2.61?
Here's the link for CEP.

Make sure you have that last file: "cep_2_61_from_2_60.7z - Update from 2.60 to 2.61, requires 2.60".

And... welcome to the server!!

[AngelUK]

Thank you both so very much. I had not downloaded the cep 2.61 update. (sheesh, dingbat or what? lol). Once again thank you for your responses. I look forward to getting into the world soon.

Since the new reinstall due to comp crash I found similiar problems and doing a fresh reinstall. One of the problems I found is diamond edition for some reason is twitchy to the custom stuff of Ravenloft thankfully i have an old platinum. Also one of the key problems to the sound bug that causes lag is the fact the CEp 2.6 requires some of the older cep to function properly and for the 2.61 fixes to work. So downloading a 2.1 cep then using the updater then applying 2.6 then the hotfixes actually fixes everything for those issues.

Definately folow Zurhtrusta's steps

Also, don't forget the critical rebuild. When I got my new computer I forgot about it and had horrible latency issues. Turns out that was the problem.

[Alan Hunter]

Critical rebuild? Yah recentlt having bad latency to the poibt I crash. Cant play the game after too long.  I can't figure why thia configuration isn't like my old nwn. If this continues i may not be able to play ravenloft till i figure it out.

I have never needed to use it but it may help if your installation is being awkward.

Ty still having issues with the game. I think it might be my sound card as certain sounds or to manynplayers freezes my screen and I literally crash and end up unable to play. I also realized my nwn doesnt recognize my sound card some times so i use that 3d rad sound emulator. Often thinkaybe its something I add wrong.

I never used the sky box or cuatom gui override as well i never used 1.61 ceep last i ever had was 1.24 or 1.26. I almost want to say the new cep is being buggy. Anyways till I can fix it I cant play Ravenloft with out risling killing my self due to latency or freeze issues.

[Zwickelfaust]

Turn off sound hardware in advanced options.

[Alan Hunter]

Well that wasnt it..... trying to re-download the game and install it exactly as i did when I started  at 1.24 cep and the custom rui gui. See if mimic the same process will allow the game to work.  As of right now its like I log in and freezes then takes for ever to get normal.

Figured it out sound card drivers. I have an intehrated sound software. Nwn did not like it till i reinstall my dfx audo hardware/software and bam back in game
