Server list won't populate?
« on: July 31, 2013, 11:22:22 PM »
So, as the title says. When I go to multiplayer through gamespy or whatever. It doesn't matter if I go to Action, PW Story, Roleplay, or whatever. It won't actually show any servers. Any suggestions?

Gamespy dropped the server list hosting years back, so it's not a bug at all. You'll have to gain entry into a server directly with it's IP.

That's not strictly the only option. You can mod the game with the NWN Client Extender (http://www.neverwinternights.info/nwncx.htm). Among other things, it fixes the GameSpy issues.

Actually it was less than a year ago when that happened.

I remember when the master server was taken down and the passwords stopped working. But for a long time after that the server list would still populate. Or at least, it did for me for a long time afterwards

This is different. Gamespy no longer supports NWN1.

This is a big help in finding servers although those are pretty slim pickings these days:
