I may have missed it... but is there any way to have the updater download the files to the games Dir instead of the My Documents? I run my game from a different drive and space is alyway an issue in the System Drive for me... I end up copying them manually

The NWN2 directory system isn't completely documented but we put all our files in MyDocuments for a reason. They won't work anywhere else. Please don't ever move them.Originally posted by Verrath View PostThe very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

Change the default directory for your MyDocuments location. You'll have to move your current one, but that's easy. Just copy-paste it to where you want it. Then...Originally posted by Verrath View Post
- Copy the new location of your MyDocuments folder to your clipboard. Ctrl+C, if you don't know.
- Click Start, then right-click on "My Documents", then click on properties
- Click in the "target" box, then paste (Ctrl+V) the location your copied earlier in there.
- You can also click "move" to manually search for the folder you copied, or do some registry editing I can't remember how to do atm.

That's odd... they run fine after I move them to their corresponding folders in the game dir... I've done this since I first installed NWN2 and have never had any crashing or other issues. The only time it causes trouble is if I do it with the game running.
I'll look into moving the My Docs folder too though - not that it matters really, as I never use it for... storing Documents

Well if anyone knows how NWN2 finds your home directory... Is there an environment variable? Or you could try using "net user [USERNAME] /homedir:[DIRECTORY YOU USE]"
Not sure about that though, I think that might only be for when you're managing a network.
Copying into the NWN2 directory just isn't good practice, though you could argue, I guess, it works. And it shouldn't cause any problems - as long as you know what you're overwriting, otherwise you'll have to reinstall + redownload everything if you mess up.Val Evra - Wandmaker and WandererComment
