The real direct connect

<< < (4/4)

Korvenus:
Hey guys,

I've just tried setting this up and at first couldn't get it working, but I found out why.

There are two Exe files that start the game, make sure that the target is using the nwmain.exe and not nwn.exe.

nwn.exe is just a wrapper for the nwmain, as in... it starts with a launch menu where you can select a few options, before you hit "Play game" and actually start nwmain.exe

so your target should be:
C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain.exe +connect 84.238.20.74:5121
Not:
C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwn.exe +connect 84.238.20.74:5121

Strigoi:

this is a DNS resolver race condition in the client. We're tracking it internally (37551) and while I can't promise a fix date, I know this is not good for people using shortcuts or being quick-fingered in direct connect, so it won't be forgotten.

This is what a Beamdog/NWN dev had to say on their forums about this specific problem.
