can't log in

Post by Rummybum »

For some reason I can't log in to NS4 from this computer. The server just times out. I can log in on another computer, or log into other servers on this one but somehow I am unable to log into NS4.

Can someone help?

Please provide more details. Which method are using to connect? Are you trying to connect using an IP address? An entry in your server history? Through the PW Action category in the built-in gamespy browser? With a hostname?

Either it's the port that needs to be changed while attempting to connect with 2 PCs from the same IP or the IP in the shortcut is wrong. Try the following:

Shortcut on one PC:
C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain.exe +connect ns4.nsrealm.com:5121

Shortcut on the other:
C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\nwmain.exe +connect ns4.nsrealm.com:5122

(note 5121 and 5122 are the ports - you may also need to adjust the path to nwnmain.exe based on where you installed it)

I have tried going from the list of servers and also direct connect typing in the server. Instead of opening the character vault I just get a delay and a server timed out message. I can log into other servers with this computer just not NS.

You continue to mention 'shows on the list'. Try the direct shortcut method I have explained... there is no list. It will get you there.

yes have tried that also. All I get is server not responding. This problem started at the time of the big crash last week when so many people lost a months worth of xp. I lost the ability to log in. Some characters are security tied to this comp so it is not good.

They're tied to that cdkey, not the comp.

Try setting Client Port in nwnplayer.ini to something else other than what it is. Try 5129 say. (Back up your old one in case something goes horribly wrong.)

Rarely dual log when i need to transfer gear over my laptop. I had the same problem on it. Didnt have it before the latest server switch. Must have something to do with ports. I changed it, but didnt work. Only tried it once tough, i'll look more into it.

Well the client ports are different. I have tried resetting the router as well, very frustrating.
