Client Extender issues....

[Cassian]

So I installed the game and cant for the life of me get the client extender to work. Keep getting an error 5:004blahblah blah.

I looked and looked on google and the only thing I can find is that it may be because my NWN is installed in "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Neverwinter Nights 2" and not the default C:\Program Files\blah blah" because I dont have room on my SSD for all the steam games.

How can I fix this? :(

my copy is on my alternate drive as well and it works. I placed the files directly into the appropriate folder.

did u try running the file as admin?

[Cassian]

Yes to both. All files are set to run as admin, including the nwn2 executable.

Cassian, on your behalf I reinstalled my client to test.

I had no problems running it.

My steps:

1 - installed NWN2. As you have already installed, double check the file integrity by navigating to your steam library (in this client), right click NWN2, click on properties, click on local files, verify integrity. If no damage, continue

2 - download the client extension from here: http://www.nynaeve.net/Skywing/NWN2/cliext/ClientExtension_Latest.zip

3 - cut and paste the .zip file to your NWN2 installation folder (ie. steamapps/common/...)

4 - uncompress the zip file directly into the folder.

5 - run NWloader.

Now, I know it probably is that you did all those things, but I think its best you try it again, as I just did and it did not work until I installed the client.

Alternatively, there could be a graphics issue, or some other problem (keys?).

I had written a more complete guide here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/NWN-Players/discussions/0/1489992713693399224/

let me know if that helps.


EDIT: from neverwintervault.org regarding this error:

"OK, client status for Apr 15, 2016.

I tried opening the Internet games available through Steam opened NWN2, but alas, there were no games. So I then tried opening NWLauncher and receive an Application load error 5:0000065434. I reinstalled the latest version and tried to copy over the last, but noticed it was still running in the background, so I terminated the program and copied over it. I then tried to start again from NWLauncher but receive the same error.

Realizing the program is still running in the background, I start NWN2 using steam. Ta da, the internet games come up...

but this is a new bug."

Let me know if that helps.

And last but not least, https://steamcommunity.com/app/22330/discussions/0/810921273923130262/

describes that error. Seems a couple workarounds are posted. A) try running steam.exe as admin (not just NWloader), or B) start NWN2 through steam normally and see if you have multiplayer, or after starting normally, try NWloader again, or C) some weird writeup in the above link. Maybe deleting the NWN2 in mydocuments may reinitialize the setup? not sure.

hope one of these methods pans out. I remember having this error, but it was such a long time ago now.

Heya! Thanks for the reply, I actually wasn't looking to use it for the multiplayer fixes, just for the bug fixes / animation hangs and other things it apparently fixes.

However reading above I tried it all and kept getting the error, after reading your edit however I just simply tried running NWN2 after the error popped up, because it IS always still running in the background. I'd been closing it manually because if I didn't it would keep popping up that error over and over until I did.

And the multiplayer rooms DO show up, I can see all the servers just fine, so hopefully that means its working :)

edit*

I'm going to say it is.

So to recap, all I had to do was simply open NWN2 manually after the error popped up, and when I'm done playing manually close NW2launcher in my task manager.

I remember having to run it like that for a while; just can't remember what I did exactly, or if the client was upgraded. Glad you got it working.

[Cassian]

Yea, thanks for the replies :) Although now im having a new issue where my sound just ...stops working, then if I exit the game while the sounds not working, it freezes and I have to task manager it xD UGH
