    dvd woes.

    im having problems getting my dvd drive to mount a disc... i am affraid i need a new one... which sucks. but in the mean time.... does anyone know a work around for the disc auth that nwn2 does on start up?

    i know in os x you can use a .dmg im pretty sure there is nothign like that on this side of the world.. but just wondering if anybody else found away around the dvd.

    You can install Daemon Tools and create a disk image (or *coughfindadummyimageonthewebcough*). I've done this on my laptop to save energy and the annoyance of Disc-jockeying.

        i did this today... downloaded daemon tool lite.. made a disk image (after i got my disk to mount after maybe 50 tries).. mounted it in the virtual drive... ejected the disc for perhaps the last time and booted nwn2!!!! it totally works. verrath is the bestest ever!

          Well, if you bought any of the NWN2 expansions, or Mysteries of Westgate as downloadable content, then the dvd check is no longer active. They authenticate online one time, then they are good to go, it's so painless I even did it in linux running NWN2 with wine.

            I have both expansions, and it always does the DVD check.

              Yeah.. only works that way if you purchased a downloadable version. I haven't tried, but I'd assume they perform an online legitimacy check like they did with the NWN1 downloadables? Which would mean you can't play even single player unless connected to the web.

                NWN1 went disk free in version 1.69 I believe, just before they brough in visible cloaks

                    Make sure the tools are running and the disks mounted. There is an "Auto-mount" setting somewhere that you need to enable
