1.69 startup issues

[frogofpeace]

Posting this because I never would have figured it out if Tep hadn't told me. (Thanks Tep)

After I installed the patch, NWN would not start for me - the first menu screen with the "Play", "Toolset", "Update" buttons came up, but when I hit play, I got the next screen, then it quit. This trying to launch from the desktop shortcut.

Starting from the nwnmain.exe in the NWN folder worked.

I personally never use the Updater toggle on the NWN launch screen. For some reason, on my system not all the files load and if your not watching it closely you'll miss the "failed to load".

The only evidence of failure is when you try to log onto a server. Instead I now always use the Critical Build put out by Bioware. That never fails to load all files. It can be found here: http://nwn.bioware.com/support/patch_english_hotu.html

Not sure if this is the right area but the problem I am experiencing was ever since i updated.

When I am in Teamspeak, no one can hear me while I am in game, but I can hear them. Also when I log out of the game they can hear me, or even when I minimize nwn, they can still hear me. It is only when I am actually in the game that ppl cannot hear me when I try talking. I use Alt as my hotkey btw.

If anyone has any idea on how to help me fix this I would greatly appreciate it.

change your hotkey to one that isn't used by the game...i use the R3 button...clicking the wheel on my mouse

as for the updater issue, i notice that since i got diamond, i haven't been able to get it to work without going to the critical rebuild every time.


not sure if that is common for others...

I have diamond and updated through the menu with no problems.

One of my comps works fine but the other i have to use the rebuild on, they both have diamond. One is dual core and the other isnt. Always figured that was what the problem was even after the cpu affinity was set.

i don't think it's a dual core thing. psiber and i dowloaded it same time, both not dual core and he had to use the critical and i didn't.

I had to do a critical hit with my baseball bat on my XP machine for it to take the 1.69 impression

Well, as I said in another topic regarding 1.69, when I tried updating, for the first time, the download failed on me, prompting me to get the critical rebuild. So I went to the specified link and tried downloading at just over 10kB/s. Being frustrated, I tried to restart the download to get a better speed, and instead, the download never actually started. It may be that troubles with obtaining the 1.69 patch are actually related to the Bioware download mirror, and when you actually tried to download the patch.

I dont think ive ever had the updater work for me, at least if it did, the times it didnt has out shadowed it. Now, any time i re-install, i just grab the critical rebuild from the bioware site then play.
