Hey, it says that server is offline in the list, but I know for a fact it isn't.
Any suggestions?
-
I'm getting the same thing :x
-
you could use Xfire or the ravenloft game launcher to get in instead.... if they also bloody worked properly! which they might for you.
But for some reason Xfire is not scanning any NWN servers today
And the up date for the Ravenloft game launcher keeps telling me it cannot find the .exe and has just broken my launcher... I cannot even figure out how to fix the bleeding thing either.
Annoying!
-
oh ok a recent registry clean is whats broken my launcher and preventing it from finding the .exe
Using the Ravenloft Launcher should get around this problem you are having and allow you to log in.

If it tells you it cannot find your .exe simply run the NWN update seems to fix it.
-
Oh, I see.
I probably should have mentioned that I am currently playing NWN (the GoG version) via Crossover.
I am unable to install the launcher, but thank you for sharing, it gave me something to try.
Will this be fixed by itself?
-
There is a hardware-related bug with (at least) the GOG.com version of NWN that requires me to rename nwmain.exe to something like nwmain2.exe in order for the game not to crash at startup. However, the Ravenloft game launcher explicitly looks for nwmain.exe, so while it loads the game, the game crashes at startup. As a result, the Ravenloft game launcher is not an option for me.
-
It should clear up by its self yes, this is a ISP fault really, not a server issue.
-
Okay, I'll keep checking back, just a bit frustrating as I was right in the middle of something.
Now I must go and do something else....
What is my life? :P
-
me too lol... i had a famous last words instant telling a lvl 3 squishy "its ok if you do not stealth I will keep all the shadows off of you" one runs strait past me, hit her and my connection froze lols!
-
Hmm... I'm experiencing the same thing too.. Very strange, anyone had any luck yet?
-
Its just a ISP issue it defiantly looks like its all the Brits are effected others from else ware are in game playing though.
-
*shakes fist* Curse you, BT! :P
-
There is a very elegant solution to this, if you don't mind playing exclusively for the sake of the story and character development for a little while.
RP on the chatroom - the 'chat' button is right next to the 'forum' button on this website.
I will happily be your substitute DM for the evening.
-
LOLs! that would sooth my wish to roll play but not my compulsive desire to alter costumes, ninja loot and kill things... maybe ill just make a sig pic for Sanngrior.

It's not just you Brits ;) Got the same issue right here...
-
Same happens to me, I bypassed this by simply putting the IP of the server for the direct connect

yah i can see that, I think BT and T-mobile use the same Hard ware along with many other ISPs.. guessing your being directed through T-mobile anyway and thus being effected with the same group of people.
Ciaran you lucky git i tryed that a thousand times already :)
-

Tried that as well without luck :(
-
There's probably a few routers that are down that are part of your ISP's network. Something similar happened a few years back that prevented certain US ISPs (such as AT&T) from accessing the server because several of the routers AT&T used to connect to Europe were temporarily knocked offline.
-
This happens quite a lot really with the ISP i use, BT. It is normally for very short periods of time compared to this though, as regularly as one every 2 to 3 months and effecting others either close by or being directed through the same northern hemisphere routs, i think your guess is spot on mate and is just a matter of time until they fix it.
-
For any one who was still interested in other ways to connect to by pass any other possible issues that might cause you not to be able to connect through your normal client I mentioned Xfire earlier which i do like a lot because you still get a server list with it as well as options to chat and create groups of your gaming buddies.
Here is the link to down load that.
http://classic.xfire.com/download/
Just let it scan your games and it will find NWN and show you every server that is running still more or less.
You can also add your favorite servers to it by entering direct IP.
Mine just has Ravenloft and a lot of dead Dragon lance servers :P
-
I'm off to try that! Thanks, mate! :)
-
Seems its messing with Time Warner as well, and I'm not even in Europe but can't see the server, nor do I have it through GoG. I purchased my game years ago. :(
-
Odd, I'v e got an original CD key and am with Time Warner and having no problems.
-
Aliens... Satellites... mother ship in the way... [sage nod]
-
This is what I don't understand.
I haven't changed any settings on my Modem. I was playing just fine last night, but now I can't see the server at all, and cannot direct connect. I tried the ravenloft launcher but that keeps crashing and I -really- don't want to download Xfire, I just don't care for it or need another program that takes up space :/
-
I just gona have to wait like the rest of us darlin! sorry. :)
-
Xfire added the server just fine, I simply can't connect to it, so it's certainly an ISP issue.
Thanks for all your suggestions though :)
-
Anybody else having issues not being able to direct connect or see the server in teh favorites or history lists?
-

It isn't a problem with the settings on your modem. It's a problem with one or more of the routers your ISP uses to connect to the server.
-
So how do we fix it Blue? Call our providers? What would I even tell them? lol
-
well i am receiving the server again finally... any one else?
-
Still offline for me... :cry:
-
[mutters] i spoke to soon, Xfire is scanning the server now and reporting ping and # of players but i still cannot connect :(... fact xfire can see it now does mean something was just fixed somewhere though.
Just to let you Know however 36 players are enjoying the server right now but not us :P
-
Did the server crash or??? :)
-
Not a crash, it stills hows online for me but i'm halfway round the world in a different hemisphere.
no one else online at the mo >.>
-
I just disconnected and wasn't able to reconnect.
What's worse, I left someone locked inside a faction locked area because of it... :?
-
I live in the USA and no internet for me.. =b
-
It works via direct connect now!
-
So how do we fix it Blue? Call our providers? What would I even tell them? lol
They're more than likely already aware of the problem and are working on it.
