People Crashing on Connect

[Cornuto]

Got some PMs from folks crashing on connect

Doing some research this appears to be issue with NWN2 Securom copy protection after the 1.23 update . Obsidian is working on a hotfix.

Good to know as i am also having this problem, along with the occasional crash during a transition from one area to another. I was blaming Vista for this not really knowing any better.

Everything is Bill Gates fault... especially and not limited to Global Warming, War, Rabbies, Bad software design combined with brilliant marketing, Nuclear fission, the Plowshare, DNA and/or Rum.

Fezzik neatly sums up everything that is mega-evil about Bill Gates. Bill Gates is even more evil than Bill Gates. That is saying something.

I've had this problem and thought it was just my DVD drive. I thought this securom thing was something to to with Nero. I didn't realise it was a NWN2 play disk issue.

Whenever I logged off with one PC and then on with another, NWN2 was crashing out, sometimes it would crash out again as I tried to load the game from start.

Ways I hound to get around it:

I would load the game by opening and closing the DVD drive, letting it autostart rather than clicking on the game icon in windows.

This would usually make the game load alright.

If this didn't work I went into the install directory and tried clicking on the various NWN2 icons, some worked and some didn't for loading the game.

When it came to the crashing upon loading into the game, I found that logging on by direct connect was crashing most times.

I would go into gamespy and then from there look at the 'server details' page and in there was a connect option that seemed to never crash when I logged in that way.

At the end of the day with secure-rom Just doing things a different way, than you usually do, seems to be the way around it.

I don't know if this fixed it or not. I was crashing on trying to connect to the server. I ran my NwN 2 updater, and then it let me connect(They probably released the hotfix). So right now I am gettign the updates and whatnot, hoping my computer won't crash. Hope this fixes it for the rest of you!
